I_AxisBase

Represents the general interface for an axis.

Syntax:

INTERFACE I_AxisBase EXTENDS I_MotionBase

Properties

Name	Type	Access	Description
Actuals	I_MotionActuals	Get	Provision of current actual values (positions, velocities, etc.)
I_AxisBase
AutoLimitSelect	BOOL	Get, Set	A TRUE allows the axis to select an internal function block for limiting if the servo drive type (CoE, SoE) has been detected.
Camming	I_CammingMain	Get	Functions for processing cam plates.
DisableSoftEnd	I_DisableSoftEnd	Get	Possibility to temporarily disable the software limit switches of the axis and restore their original state.
Estop	I_Estop	Get	Function for canceling an active motion command to bring the axis to a standstill. If available, increased dynamic parameters are applied.
ExtGenerated	BOOL	Get	TRUE if the setpoint generation runs via the ExternalGenerating core function.
Homing	I_HomingMain	Get	Provision of a selection of homing procedures.
Limiting	I_Limiting	Get	Limitation (torque, pressure, etc.) of the axis.
MotionSetpoints	I_MotionSetpoints	Get	Provision of current setpoints (position, velocity, etc.).
Ptp	I_Ptp	Get	Function for active movements. A table with a section-by-section definition is used.
SetPosition	I_SetPosition	Get	Set a new actual position of the axis.
Stop	I_Stop	Get	Canceling an active motion command to bring the axis to a standstill. The dynamics parameters of the motion command are used.
TeachPosition	I_TeachPosition	Get	Commissioning of axes with analog position measuring systems.
TeachUpdate	I_TeachUpdate	Get
ToolAdaption	I_ToolAdaption	Get	Conversion of positions and velocities between an axis and a tool.
VelocityFeed	I_VelocityFeed	Get	An interface to a local function block that triggers a motion without specifying a destination.
AutoTorqueLimitSelect¹	BOOL	Get, Set	A TRUE allows the axis to select an internal function block for torque limitation if the type of a servo drive (CoE, SoE) has been detected. Alternatively: `.AutoLimitingSelect`
AxisName¹	STRING	Get, Set	The axis name must be unique. This is of particular importance for hydraulic axes. The library used here uses the axis name as file name for loading and saving the axis parameters. Alternatively: `.Name`
BadSwitchOver¹	BOOL	Get	Identifies whether a pressure switchover has occurred due to safety conditions. Alternatively: `.PressureControl.Supervisor.BadSwitchOver`
TorqueLimiting¹	I_TorqueLimiting	Get	Torque limitation of the axis. Alternatively: `.Limiting`
SwitchOver¹	BOOL	Get	The pressure switchover has been triggered. Alternatively: `.PressureControl.Supervisor.SwitchOver`
I_MotionBase
Jog	I_Jog	Get	Command motion without a defined destination (travel on revocation).
MotionParams	I_MotionParams	Get	Compilation of motion parameters
Name	STRING	Get	The textual name of the motion unit.
Power	I_Power	Get	Function for releasing the axis and its direction-related feed releases.
State	E_AxiState	Get	The current state of the axis.
