Overview

Task

This document describes how to parameterise axes in the CNC controller.

It describes the axis parameters and PLC signals required for start-up.
It is assumed that basic machine configuration (number of axes, number of channels) is already complete and the controller starts up without any warnings or error messages.

Properties

This documentation focuses on examples for start-up and parameter definition for axes in SERCOS drives. The chapters contain tables listing other drives, possible operation modes and dependencies on drive types.

Mandatory note on references to other documents

For the sake of clarity, links to other documents and parameters are abbreviated, e.g. [PROG] for the Programming Manual or P-AXIS-00001 for an axis parameter.

For technical reasons, these links only function in the Online Help (HTML5, CHM) but not in pdf files since pdfs do not support cross-linking.
