attempts to assign an axis under such circumstances. Refer HX command to delete a
group.
•
An axis cannot be assigned more than once in a group. The controller returns error
19, GROUP AXIS DUPLICATED, if one attempts to assign an axis more than once
to a group.
•
The order in which axes are assigned to a group is very important. This is because it
specifies the frame of reference in which coordinated motion of axes takes place.
For instance, the command
1HN1,2 assigns axis numbers 1 and 2 to group number 1,
where axis #1 is equivalent to X-axis and axis #2 is equivalent to Y-axis in a
traditional cartesian coordinate system. Reversing the ordering of axes (viz.
1HN2,1 ) reverses the axis assignment.
•
If a group has more than two axes assigned to it, and the group was commanded to
make an arc (refer to HC command), the first two axes in the group are used to make
the desired move.
RETURNS
If “?” sign takes the place of nn values, this command reports the axes assigned
to the group in the order of their assignment.
REL. COMMANDS HV - set vectorial velocity for a group
HA - set vectorial acceleration for a group
HD - set vectorial deceleration for a group
HO - enable a group
HF - disable a group
HC - move a group of axes to desired position along an arc.
HL - move a group of axes to desired position along a line.
