Electronically Linked Motor and RS

Hello,

Have there been any attempts to use RS with systems containing electronically linked motors with n total axes (1 master and n-1 followers)

It would appear that a mechanical unit using n singles stores n EAX values in the generate rob targets on the virtual controller.  But, Robotstudio does not recognize the mechanical unit correctly as having 1 master axis, and n-1 follower axes.  Robotstudio stores 1 EAX value regardless n singles present in the mechanical unit.

Am I missing something?

    Hi Dan,

    I am uncertain as to how well RS supports this option. I would recommend you to get in touch with your local ABB contact that can assist you with this issue, or forward your question.

    i have a gantry with an elctronically linked second motor. It does work, but each time i open it i have to reset both the gantry and the follower to the same position otherwise it will give errors.
