4.6.3 MK_ACHSENART
This machine constant specifies different axis properties. The MC is bit
coded.
Bit Value Meaning
0 0
1 linear axis
rotation axis
1 0
2 observe limit switch
ignore limit switch
2 ... 3 0
4
8
12
normal axis
spindle
measurement axis
spindle + measurement axis
4... 5 0
16
48
normal axis
modulo 360
°
axis, the sign determines the traversing direction
modulo 360
°
axis, the angle position is approached via the shortest path 1)
6 0
64
normal axis
gantry axis, only effective in the case of synchronous axes
7 0
128
normal axis
handwheel
To set the desired bit, add the value in the table to the value of the MC.
For a rotation axis, which is to ignore the limit switch signals, and if modulo
360
°
is programmed with the sign defining the traversing direction, you
would have to enter value 19 (bit 0, 1 and 4).
Please bear in mind that handwheels are consecutively numbered within
the control. Therefore, if you declare several handwheels, the first one is (the
one with the smallest application number) is identified as handwheel 0, the
next one as handwheel 1, etc...
A gantry axis is a special form of a synchronous axis. It includes a mechanical
coupling between master and slave axis. In contrast to simple synchronous
axes, the home position approach for gantry axes, which have an analog
interface, is carried out synchronously.
