Measurement parameter definition in the axis-specific machine data

If positions of an axis are to be detected by measurement operations, this possibility must be defined by parameters in the axis-specific machine data.

On the one hand, the possibility of detection of measured values for an axis must fundamentally be enabled. This is done by means of the entry

kenngr.messachse                      1

On the other hand, you must define the location of the trigger signal. Four different signal sources are currently distinguished. Here it must be pointed out, that only one of the signal sources can be defined as active and must therefore be assigned to 1. All other alternatives must be assigned to 0.

The following example shows parameter definitions if KUKA DSE drives are used. In the case of DSE drives the trigger signal is supplied by the drives and so this signal source is defined as active and the others as inactive.
