Axis-specific interface (e.g. for V.A variables)

IndexGroup: IdxGrp = 0x122300 + Channel ID

Index offset of other axes: IdxOffs += 0x10000 * axis index

Example Channel 1, Axis 1: IdxGrp = 0x122301

Instance identifier

In the axis-specific interface, the variable names contain no instance identifier.

Example: V.A.ACT_POS

The axis-specific interface always supplies the variable value of the current axis currently assigned to this position. In case of axis exchange the variable value displayed therefore changes.
