Function

This parameter defines whether an axis is controlled by PAL only. PAL

has the option to control any configured axis; however, axes selected with

this parameter as PAL-only axes can be controlled only by PAL. This

means the operator and part programmer have no means of positioning,

jogging, homing, etc. PAL-only axes, except those methods provided by

the system installer with the PAL program.

When this parameter

is entered as:

the current axis

being configured:

and:

True

is controlled entirely by

the PAL program

This axis does not respond to the normal part

program requests or jog requests unless the

PAL program has been written to allow these

requests to be acknowledged.

False

is a normal

programmable axis

This means the axis responds to part program

requests and jog requests as normal. The axis

can still be controlled by PAL if the PAL program

requests that axis.
