Using AxisLink I/O
Each motion controller on AxisLink has 16 user-definable discrete
outputs. These can be read as AxisLink inputs by any other motion
controller on AxisLink, and can be used for program synchronization, etc.
Thus, each motion controller on AxisLink has a maximum total of 112
(112 = 7 x 16) AxisLink inputs in addition to its own 16 outputs. Like
other discrete I/O in the motion controllers, AxisLink I/O can be defined
singly or in groups of up to 16 I/O.
AxisLink Outputs
Like other discrete I/O in the motion controllers, the 16 discrete AxisLink
outputs must be defined before being used in the GML Commander
diagram. You can define AxisLink outputs individually, or in groups of up
to 16 outputs, as follows.
1. In the Tag Explorer (see below), highlight either Output or Output
Group.
2. To define a new output, in the Tag Window, do one of the following:
• Double-click the left mouse button.
• Single-click the right mouse button.
3. In the pop-up menu, select New (see below)
