5. In the Map to manager resource drop down
box, select one of the available axis
numbers and click
OK . This is the axis
number that NextMove e 100 will use to
reference the EPL device’s axis hardware.
The three radio button options refer to the
way the remote axis will be controlled - see
section 5.5.1.
In this example, the remote axis has been
assigned axis number 5.
This means that when a Mint program running on the
NextMove e 100 contains a statement such as MOVER(5)=20 , the NextMove e 100 will send
a demand to the remote axis (
5
) to move
20
units.
6. Click Close in the Resource Mapping
window. The EPL device is now listed in
the EPL Devices page.
Note: As shown in the preceding example, the EPL device’s assigned axis number (5)
and node ID (8) do not have to be the same. However, in small networks it may be
beneficial to assign the same node ID and axis number to simplify identification of
a particular node / axis.
See the Mint WorkBench help file for full details of the device mapping process, and also
examples of Mint basic code that can perform the network configuration at startup.
