Overview
1.6 Grouping
The axes involved in related operations are organized into individual groups. Motion programs can be created for
each group. This allows one MP2000-series Machine Controller to independently control multiple machines
using group operation. Group operation can be single group operation or multiple group operation.
Definitions for axes to be grouped together are made under Group Definitions.
