7.2 Setting the Controller
For the controller to be able to communicate with the Gateway, the settings specified below must be
performed.
(1) Setting the axis number
Set an axis number in a range of 0 to 15 by avoiding duplication.
Take note that the range of settable axis numbers varies depending on the operation mode of the
Gateway Unit.
The setting procedure using a PC (PC software) is explained below. For details, refer to the operation
manual for the PC (PC software) or teaching pendant.
[1] Connect a PC (in which the PC software is installed) or teaching pendant to the gateway unit*,
and turn the port switch ON.
[2] Start the PC software.
[3] Click Settings (S), and then select Controller Settings.
[4] Click Assign Axis Number (N).
[5] When the axis number assignment table appears, set a desired number.
[6] Click OK, and then press ESC.
[7] Connect/disconnect each SIO link cable and set the axis number for the next controller.
[8] Finally when all axis numbers have been set, connect all axes to the SIO link.
*
• Link via SIO only the axes you want to set. In other words, connect only the applicable axes to
the 4-way junctions. Plug/unplug each connector as you set each axis.
• You can also set each applicable axis by disconnecting one by one from the SIO link only the
axes you want to set and then connecting a PC or teaching pendant directly to the connector.
