Toggle to YES , press ENTER, and select the desired axis as explained
above to configure the axes for your application.
Axis Configuration
Each physical axis in the IMC-S/23x may be independently enabled
or disabled
(NOT CONFIGURED) as required by your application.
In addition, an enabled axis may be configured as either a full
closed-loop servo axis
(SERVO) or for position monitoring only
(MASTER ONLY) . Toggle to the desired configuration for the selected
axis and press ENTER.
When an axis (physical or virtual) is configured for MASTER ONLY ,
the encoder input for that axis may be used as the master encoder for
electronic gearing or cams, and questions relating to closed-loop
operation are not asked in the following setup menus. When an axis is
configured as a full closed-loop
SERVO axis, all questions are asked.
Virtual Axes
Virtual axes provided by AxisLink are automatically configured for
position monitoring only
(MASTER ONLY) . The following message
is displayed when a virtual axis is selected. Functionally, AxisLink
virtual axes are identical to extra encoder inputs on the motion
controller. All setup parameters available for physical
MASTER ONLY
axes are also available for virtual axes unless mentioned otherwise.
