8.14.4.3 Cancelling existing assignments
You can delete an axis from the interconnection at any time without the cam data and measuring
systems being lost.

How to delete an axis from the interconnection:
1. In the Interconnection tab, select the axis in the field on the right entitled Assigned axes
and then click the  button.
• The Delete drive from interconnection dialog box is displayed:
2. Make the desired selection:
• Release device from the placeholder: The axis is deleted from the interconnection. The
placeholder as well as the cam data (profile data, cam data and position data) and
measuring systems, however, are retained. If an axis is assigned to the placeholder again
at a later time, the necessary cam file for this axis can be re-created on the basis of the
existing cam data.
• Remove placeholder: The placeholder and the axis are completely deleted from the
interconnection.
8.14.4.4 Reusing the "Electrical shaft" object
An "electrical shaft" object that is shown in the Project view can be removed from an automation
module and reused in another automation module by means of the Copy and Insert commands.
Only the axes have to be reassigned to the placeholders in the copy that is created.
The same applies when the entire automation module including an electrical shaft contained
therein is copied: After copying the automation module, you have to reassign an axis to each
placeholder in the copy. The cam data (profile data, cam data, and position data) and measuring
systems remain unchanged.
This allows you for instance to easily create variants of electrical shafts and to quickly exchange
them.
