96 Naming & Configuring Your Motion Axis
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.
New Group button
Opens the New Tag dialog box, where you can create a new Motion Group
tag. This button is enabled only if no Motion Group tag has been created.
Module
Selects and displays the name of the SERCOS drive to which the axis is
associated. Displays if the axis is not associated with any drive.
Module Type
This read-only field displays the type of SERCOS drive, if any, with which the
axis is associated. An axis of the AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE data type can be
associated only with 1784-PM16SE motion modules. Displays if the
axis is not associated with any drive.
Node
Displays the base node of the associated SERCOS drive. Disabled when the
axis is not associated with any drive.
