!The functionality in this topic requires Firmware 4.27 and later or ODVA Firmware 5.07 and later as well as EasyRoll version 4.21 or later
*The Motor Slave function from EasyRoll is only applicable to modules in ZPA mode that have been Auto-Configured as a single zone (only one sensor connected) and two motors connected.
*Motor Slave function automatically adjusts slave motor’s speed and performance in Closed Loop mode to properly assist the master motor
The purpose of the Slave Function is to select one of the two motors (Left or Right) to be the master and the other to to follow the run/stop and speed of the opposite motor. When you select one of the motors to be the master, only its settings are accessible in EasyRoll and whatever setting you modify (Speed, Accel, Decel, etc.) will also apply to the slave motor.
| From the Special Services Tab, if you have selected a Node that has been Auto-Configured as a Single Zone ZPA , then the Slave Function drop down box is enabled for selection. |
