94 Naming & Configuring Your Motion Axis
General Tab – AXIS_SERVO Use this tab to do the following for an axis, of the data type AXIS_SERVO:
• Configure the axis for Servo operation, or for position Feedback Only.
• Assign the axis, or terminate the assignment of an axis, to a Motion
Group.
• Associate the axis with a 1784-PM02AE motion module.
• Select the channel, 0 or 1, on the 1784-PM02AE motion module to
which the axis is connected.
Note: RSLogix 5000 supports only one Motion Group tag per
controller.
When a parameter transitions to a read-only state, any pending changes to
parameter values are lost, and the parameter reverts to the most recently saved
parameter value.
When multiple workstations connect to the same controller using RSLogix
5000 and invoke the Axis Wizard or Axis Properties dialog, the firmware
allows only the first workstation to make any changes to axis attributes. The
second workstation switches to a Read Only mode, indicated in the title bar, so
that you may view the changes from that workstation, but not edit them.
Axis Configuration
Selects and displays the intended use of the axis:
• Feedback Only: If the axis is to be used only to display position
information from the feedback interface. This selection minimizes the
display of axis properties tabs and parameters.
• Servo: If the axis is to be used for full servo operation. This selection
maximizes the display of axis properties tabs and parameters.
Assigned Motion Group
Selects and displays the Motion Group to which the axis is associated. An axis
assigned to a Motion Group appears in the Motion Groups branch of the
Controller Organizer, under the selected Motion Group sub-branch. Selecting
terminates the Motion Group association, and moves the axis to the
Ungrouped Axes sub-branch of the Motions Groups branch.
Ellipsis (…) button
Opens the Motion Group Properties dialog box for the Assigned Motion
Group, where you can edit the properties of the Assigned Motion Group. If
no Motion Group is assigned to this axis, this button is disabled.
