Yes, if both motors were synchronously coupled and could not accumulate error the virtual master is ideal. I've used that with great success, unfortunately this application is not synchronous and will not work with that design. Thanks! - Austin ------------------------------ Austin Adams ------ ...

Correct, a V-Belt application and we cannot change that part. Ideally it would be a synchronous coupling and in those applications I have used a virtual master with both motors slaved to that and then they physically stay synchronized perfectly over the speed range since their position errors grow at ...

I am interested in a way to reduce the tracking error in a CIP motion application. The system has two PowerFlex 755 drives operating in CIP motion. The master axis is connected via a non-synchronous belt to a press. Attached to the press is an 842E motion encoder, which the slave axis tracks via a MAG ...

Summary: Can a Powerflex 755 control a VPC servo motor in an electronic gear configuration? I'm looking for a solution to synchronize a servo motor to a master encoder. The servo motor is fairly large (22kW) and an MPL motor did not match all the needed specifications. I know a 5700 drive is ideal ...
