Using AxisLink

On the other hand, the CPU utilization of the motion controller to which a
virtual axis is linked is not increased by having one of its axes linked to by
another controller or multiple controllers. Once an AxisLink connection
is established between two modules (motion controllers or ALECs),
reading AxisLink inputs, setting AxisLink outputs, or reading values over
AxisLink does not affect the CPU utilization of either controller.
