GearingEnable() [2/2]

void GearingEnable	(	int32_t	masterAxisNumber,
		RSIAxisMasterType	masterFeedbackSource,
		int32_t	numerator,
		int32_t	denominator )

Description:

GearingEnable enables this Axis to be follower (slave) using electronic gearing.

Parameters

masterAxisNumber	An index that represents the master axis.
masterFeedbackSource	A RSIAxisMasterType value.
numerator	Multiple of counts that slave follows relative to master.
denominator	Divisor of counts that slave follows relative to master.

Remarks

This function is also available in RapidSequencer.

Part of the Gearing method group.

Sample Code:

Gearing

      //Create RapidCode Objects
      Axis moving_axis = controller.AxisGet(Constants.MAIN_AXIS_NUMBER);
      HelperFunctions.CheckErrors(moving_axis);
      Axis follower_axis = controller.AxisGet(Constants.DRIVEN_AXIS_NUMBER);
      HelperFunctions.CheckErrors(follower_axis);
 
      int numerator = 2;   // Specify the numerator of the gearing ratio.
      int denominator = 1; // Specify the denominator of the gearing ratio.
 
      // Configure the 'follower' axis to be a follow to the 'moving' axis at a ratio of 2:1, that is,
      // for every rotation of the Moving Axis axis, the Driven axis will rotate twice.
      follower_axis.GearingEnable(moving_axis,
                                  RSIAxisMasterType.RSIAxisMasterTypeAXIS_COMMAND_POSITION, // If NOT using a Phantom Axis, switch to RSIAxisMasterTypeAXIS_ACTUAL_POSITION
                                  numerator,
                                  denominator);
 
      // Perform a S-curve motion on the Moving Axis axis.
      moving_axis.MoveSCurve(Constants.POSITION,
                             Constants.VELOCITY,
                             Constants.ACCELERATION,
                             Constants.DECELERATION,
                             Constants.JERK_PERCENT);
 
      moving_axis.MotionDoneWait(); // Wait for motion to finish.

Notes:

The gearing ratio will be numerator/denominator.
