Dual Axis Parameters
Chapter 34
34-3
A warning message is generated at power up to indicate which axes have
these above features limited.
If the dual group is to be the diameter axis (selected with G07 or G08 lathe
controls only), the master axis must be configured as the diameter axis
with the parameter Diameter Axis Name discussed in chapter 4. This will
cause all axes in the dual group to be diameter axes even when decoupled.
The same logic applies to the parameter that configures the Default CSS
Axis Name discussed in chapter 13 and items such as Drilling Axis for
cycles. Assigning a dual axis member that is not the master axis of the
group to one of these parameters will have no affect on any axis in the dual
group even after that slave axis is decoupled.
When you select the “Dual Axis Parameters” group, the workstation
displays this screen:

If you have a dual-process control (one 9/Series executing multiple part
programs simultaneously), the Dual Axis Master -- Group x parameters
will not appear on the screen. The master axis name is determined by the
first axis AMPed in the dual axis group.
