Description of the behavior:
The slave axis engages within the cycle and thus travels the longer engagement distance
Under what conditions does this behavior occur?
- The technology module is engaged from a standstill into a curve slide via the profile generator (xSyncIn = TRUE)
- The eAllowDirection parameter is set to "both."
Affected products:
L_TS2P_FlexCamState from the L_TS2P_TechModulesSynchronizingCamming library
Short-term measures:
Before the cam disc is moved, the slave axis can be positioned to the coupling position in advance:
- Using the scCtrlbasicMotion structure, positioning can be performed via xMoveAbsExecute = TRUE to the clutch position, which is indicated by measurement point MP_lrSetYPos.
- After positioning, close the clutch using xSyncIn.
Evaluation/Recommendations: The FlexCam TM cannot independently engage the slave axis via the engagement function along the shortest path. Furthermore, the engagement function does not prevent the axis from reversing during engagement. It is recommended to follow the short-term measure if the slave axis must be engaged along the shortest path or without reversing.
Starting with L_TS2P_TechModulesSynchronizingCamming V3.34.0, the TM L_TS2P_FlexCamHigh is alsoincluded. With this TM, the described functional limitation does not occur. However, the two TMs are not 100% functionally compatible.
Note:
No changes are planned for this behavior in the TM L_TS2P_FlexCamState.
