NC axis

Each mover is connected to an NC axis that generates the setpoint profile for the movement of the respective mover. The NC axis is created in the project under MOTION and linked to a mover via a SoftDrive object.

The NC axes can be operated directly via the TwinCAT NC interface or via the PLC using libraries with PLC-open-compliant function blocks.

Required settings:

• Link to I/O
• Axis type
• Maximum dynamics and default dynamics
• Modulo Factor
• Tolerance Window for Modulo Start

Optional settings:

• Inversion of drive running direction and encoder running direction
• Following error monitoring
