11 MECHANICAL SYSTEM PROGRAM
11. MECHANICAL SYSTEM PROGRAM
This section describes virtual mode of the mechanical system program.
In the mechanical system program (Mechanical support language), mechanical
hardware that historically has been used to perform synchronous control such as gears,
shafts, belts, pulleys, cams and variable speed changers, etc. are transposed to
software and the same operational control can be performed.
The mechanical system program consists of mechanical module connection diagrams
and mechanical module parameters.
• Mechanical module connection diagrams show a virtual mechanical system
consisting of multiple connected virtual mechanical modules.
• The mechanical module parameters are used to control of the mechanical modules
used at the mechanical module connection diagram.
Refer to the "Q173DCPU/Q172DCPU Motion controller (SV13/SV22) Programming
Manual (VIRTUAL MODE)" for specifics of the mechanical module parameters.
