Using AxisLink

Note: If you also select Extended AxisLink, your controller can

read output from up to 15 remote motion controllers or
ALECs. This Extended AxisLink option is available only for
1394 or Compact controllers using iCODE version 3.5 or
higher.

4. Select the AxisLink tab. The AxisLink page appears.

5. In the Address of This Control field select the address of the controller

to which the current GML Commander diagram is downloaded. (The
values are from 0 to 7, or from 0 to 15 with Extended AxisLink.)

6. Select up to seven remote controllers from which output can be read.

7. Select OK.

In the example shown on the screen, the selection indicates a motion
controller with an

ADDRESS

setting of 4. The addresses of the controllers

from which outputs are to be read have not yet been selected, and
Extended AxisLink has not been selected (thus, only 7—and not 15—
remote controllers are available). See Defining AxisLink Inputs.
