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

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.
