8.5 Master−slave operation
Festo P.BE−SEC−AC−SW−EN en 0802c
In master−slave operation two servo controllers are coupled
together. The master passes the position information onto the
slave via the incremental sensor output (plug X11). The slave
reads this infromation via the external incremental sensor
input (plug X10). The plugs must be connected for this pur
pose with a 1:1 cable (pin 1 with pin 1, pin 2 with pin 2, .... ).
The diagram below shows the configuration.

Fig. 8/11:
The master operates in one of the previously described
modes (speed control, positioning), while the slave operates
in the synchronized mode.
The following operating modes are possible with this con
figuration:
Speed−synchronous positioning
Position−synchronous movement
Electronic gears
Special applications, e.g. flying saw" (after consultation).
