[Step 8] Select an operation mode for each drive unit (in 2 axes unit).
Select an operation mode for Drive Unit 0 (AX0: 1st axis, AX1: 2nd axis) first. (Only
Remote I/O Mode can be selected if Remote I/O Mode was selected in Step 7.)
















[Step 9]
For MSCON with the number of driver axes 3 or more, select the operation mode of
Drive Unit 1 (AX2: 3rd axis, AX3: 4th axis).
(Note) By selecting the operation mode for Drive Unit 0 [Refer to Step 8], the
operation mode for Drive Unit 1 becomes available to be selected.
[Step 10] For MSCON with the number of driver axes 5 or more, select the operation mode of
Drive Unit 2 (AX4: 5th axis, AX5: 6th axis).
(Note) By selecting the operation mode for Drive Unit 1 [Refer to Step 9], the
operation mode for Drive Unit 2 becomes available to be selected.
[Step 11] In case there is an actuator that is connected but not to be activated (reserved axis),
tick on “Axis n Reserved” beside the operation mode setting box for each drive unit. (n
indicate the axis number)
(Note) An error will be issued if an actuator is not connected.
Caution: If set as the reserved axis, but an actuator not to be connected, set as the
invalid axis in Parameter No. 158 Invalid Axis Setting.
Even if the total number of the used axes is an odd number, make the last
axis in reservation to get an even number. It is necessary to secure as much
area as when not set as reserved even if set as the reserved axis.
[Step 12] Conduct only for EtherNet/IP Type (move onto Step 13 if not applied)
Click on Setting in the menu and select EtherNet/IP Setting, and the setting window for
the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway opens. Establish the settings to suit
your system.
