5.1.2 Inserting an axis
In order to represent hierarchical system structures, you can insert one or more axes into the project
element or into a lower-level system module to achieve a clearly arranged project structure.
• An axis ...
• ... represents a specific variant of a system module.
• ... includes at least one controller and one motor and, depending on the application, can
include other devices such as gearboxes and encoders in addition.

Tip!
If you have inserted an axis, you can also select the further components of the axis (drive
controller, motor, gearbox, etc.). This saves you from having to call the Add component
function again.

How to insert an axis:
1. Open the Project view and select the system module into which the axis is to be inserted.
• An axis can directly be inserted into the project element.
