Configuration of path axes
This section describes the elements for configuring path axes. Path axes are organised into axis groups in the channel.
The example below depicts an axis configuration with two axis groups. In addition, it shows all the relevant elements in the channel parameters list.
Notice
Currently, only path axis configurations are permitted with one axis group.
Axes of the 'spindle' type may not be specified as path axes since they are located in a spindle interpolator on start-up.
The example in the figure above results in the following assignment of elements in channel parameters:
Axis | Axis group index 'achsen_idx' | Axis identifier ' gruppe[j].achse[i]. bezeichnung' | Logical axis number 'log_achs_nr' |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 0 | X | 3 |
2 | 1 | Y_ACHSE | 1 |
3 | 2 | Z | 5 |
4 | 3 | W | 2 |
5 | 0 | C1 | 7 |
6 | 1 | B | 6 |
Number of axis groups | 'grp_anzahl' | 2 |
Axis group designation
| 'gruppe[0].bezeichnung' 'gruppe[1].bezeichnung' | GRUPPE1 GRUPPE2 |
Number of axes in each axis group | 'gruppe[0].achs_anzahl' 'gruppe[1].achs_anzahl' | 4 2 |
