Master axis

Master axis configuration

For gantry master axes bit 0x00010000 must be set in axis mode (P-AXIS-00015).

If required, the axis can be assigned by default to an NC channel (P-CHAN-00006, P-CHAN-00035).

Make sure that the following parameters for master and slave axes are identical:

• Modulo mode (P-AXIS-00018, P-AXIS-00015 bit 0x00000004)
• Modulo range (P-AXIS-00126, P-AXIS-00127)
• Maximum acceleration (P-AXIS-00008)
• Emergency stop delay (P-AXIS-00003)
• CNC-controlled error reaction (P-AXIS-00254)
• Homing type (P-AXIS-00299)
• Delay after PLC watchdog error (P-AXIS-00367)

If these parameters are different, a warning is output at controller start-up and the master axis values are adopted.
