8.14.4 Establishing an interconnection via an electrical shaft
In »Engineer« the interconnection is created by means of an electrical shaft with the help of a
wizard, which makes all the necessary entries step by step:
1. The specification of a definite designation.
• As several electrical shafts can be implemented within a machine.
2. The assignment of axes to the electrical shaft.
• Because not all axes of a machine necessarily have to be operated from the electrical shaft.
• You can also assign non-cam-capable axes to the electrical shaft so that an interconnection
can for instance be configured from a following axis and several cam axes with different
device series.
3. The assignment of the measuring systems for the corresponding axis and the master value
according to the x/y axis in the worksheet of the »Cam editor«.

Tip!
So-called "wildcards" can also be added to the electrical shaft. A wildcard can be used to
delete real axes from the electrical shaft without the cam data and the measuring systems
being lost.

How to insert an electrical shaft in the project view:
1. In the Project view, either select
• the project element , or
• select an already existing system module, into which the electrical shaft is to be
inserted.
2. Click the icon to insert a machine application.
3. Select the "electrical shaft" in the Machine application dialog box.
4. Confirm selection with OK.
• A wizard is then started which makes all the necessary entries step by step.
