Right-click on Axes within the axis configuration.

Select Add New Item....

Enter a name for the NC axis (1).

Confirm with OK.

Creating an NC axis 3:

In the Solution Explorer the new axis appears with its name within the NC axis configuration. Link the individual NC axes with the drive, in order to enable control.
