Naming & Configuring Your Motion Axis 97
General Tab - AXIS_VIRTUAL Use this tab to associate the axis, of the data type AXIS_VIRTUAL, to a
Motion Group.
Note: RSLogix 5000 supports only one Motion Group tag per controller.
When RSLogix 5000 software is online, the parameters on this tab transition to
a read-only state. 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.
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.
