Installation of the latest XML device description
Please ensure that you have installed the corresponding latest XML device description in TwinCAT.
This can be downloaded from the
Beckhoff Website and installed according to the installation in-
structions.
Integration into the NC can be accomplished as follows:
• The terminal must already have been added manually under I/O devices or have been scanned in by
the system (see section " Configuration set-up in TwinCAT [
}
82] ").
Adding an axis automatically
• Once the terminals have been scanned successfully, TwinCAT detects the new axes automatically.
The user is asked whether the detected axes should be added
automatically (see Fig.
Axis detected ). If this is confirmed, all axes are automatically liked to the NC.

• Several parameters have to be set before the motor can be started up. The values can be found in
section " Configuration of the main parameters [
}
124] ".
Please set these parameters before continuing with the motor commissioning procedure.
Adding an axis manually
• First add a new task. Right-click on NC configuration and select "Append Task..." (see Fig. Adding a
new task ).
• Rename the task if required and confirm with OK.
