The data type AXIS_REF:

	Refreshing the status data structure in `AXIS_REF` The status data structure `Status` of the type `ST_AxisStatus` contains additional or prepared status and diagnostic information about an axis. The structure is not cyclically refreshed, but has to be updated by the PLC program Calling the `ReadStatus()` action from `AXIS_REF` updates the status data structure and should be done once at the beginning of each PLC cycle. The status information does not change within a PLC cycle. After calling `ReadStatus(),` the current status information can be accessed in `AXIS_REF` within the entire PLC program. The nature of the status data structure is purely informative. Therefore, its use is not mandatory.
