Simulation Axis
In the following section you will find out how to set up an NC axis as a simulation axis.
A simulation axis is not linked with drive hardware via the IO configuration.
Axis type

Settings for an NC simulation axis that is linked with the PLC axis variable axis in the program MAIN:
[1]
| Select this entry.

[2] | Remains empty. |
Setting up a simulation axis
- 1. In the axis level, select the NC axis that you wish to set up as a simulation axis.
- 2. Open the Settings dialog for this NC axis.
- 3. In the drop-down box for the axis type, select the entry Standard (Mapping via Encoder and Drive) [1].
- 4. For a simulation axis the entry Link To I/O… [2] remains empty.
- You have set up the NC axis as a simulation axis.
