Use this feature to control a single axis positioned by two servo motors.
This is called a split axis. One of the servos is configured to be a “master”
while the other is selected as a “slave.” The servo module automatically
maintains the position of the slaved servo by monitoring the difference
between the following errors of the slave and master servos.
Your control supports the use of two split axis pairs in your 9/Series
system. Dual process systems can also have two split axis pairs total,
however, only one pair per process is allowed.
