Detection Mode: AsConfigured

After TwinCAT system startup, a Mover Detection is performed and a check is made to see whether the number of detected movers matches the number of expected movers. During detection, only the absolute positions of the movers are detected. The movers are assigned to the software axes using ascending Y-positions. Mover Detection is terminated when the number of detected movers matches the expected number of movers.

If the number matches and the load voltage is applied to the XPlanar system, Mover Identification can be started. As soon as Mover Identification has been started, the system automatically communicates with the movers with ID bumpers to establish a unique assignment between the XPlanar Movers and the software axes.

The current status of the communication process is displayed via the CoordinatedMoverCommStatus. After successful identification, the hardware movers are assigned to the software movers.
