Electronic Gear Ratio

With regard to the command units input to the module, the mechanical
motion units are called “Output Units”. Electronic gearing is a function
that converts position or speed units from command units (mm, deg, inch)
to output units (mm, deg, inch). In a machine configuration in which the
load axis rotates amount “n” when the motor axis rotates amount “m,”
“command unit = output unit” can be assumed by using this electronic
gearing function.

Set the electronic gearing function by the motion setting parameters in the
following table.

Note: The electronic gearing function is disabled when the unit selection is pulses, or when

motion commands (OWC020) are not used.
