Drive set-up procedure
14.1.4 Axis configuration

14.1.4 Axis configuration
Control axes (feed axis and Spindle) configuration set-up is carried out in the following 3
methods:
1. Switch settings at a drive
2. Hardware configuration using PLC set-up tool "STEP7"
3. Machine data settings
To set up axis configuration,
1. Set switches at a drive so that a PROFIBUS station No. of the Converter and axis numbers
under the Converter can be set up.
2. Perform a hardware configuration using PLC set-up tool "STEP 7" so that all the hard-
ware (such as drives and I/O modules) can be physically set up and the PROFIBUS can be
connected.
3. Set up machine data assuming that "Switch setting at drives" and "Hardware configura-
tion" have been carried out correctly.
If you have made a change to drive configuration, for example, by adding or deleting a
drive, you need to perform again "1. Switch setting at drives", "2. Hardware configuration",
and "3. Setting up machine data".
