Functional Overview

Why Use the AdvancedPositionSync Function Block?

The function block can synchronize multiple linear axes of a crane with identical or different motors, gears, and encoders. The function block can retain information about positions of synchronized axes and their synchronization status when the machine is powered down. Thus, the synchroni­zation can continue after power cycle of the machine.

This function block is intended to have significant influence on the physical movement of the machine and its load. The application of this function block requires accurate and correct input parameters in order to make its movement calculations valid and to avoid hazardous situations. If invalid or otherwise incorrect input information is provided by the application, the results may be undesirable.
