Configuration - Basic Parameters
Axis name
Define the name of the positioning axis/synchronous axis in this field. The technology object
is listed in the project navigation under this name. The variables of the technology object can
be used in the user program under this name.
Axis type
In this selection, configure whether the axis should perform linear or rotary motions.
Units of measure
In the drop-down list, select the desired measurement system for the position and velocity of
the axis.
Modulo
Select the check box "Enable modulo", if you want to employ a recurring unit of measure for
the axis (e.g. 0-360° for an axis of the "rotary" axis type).
●
Modulo start value
In this field, define the position at which the modulo range should begin (e.g. 0° for an
axis of the "rotary" axis type).
●
Modulo length
In this field, define the length of the modulo range (e.g. 360° for an axis of the "rotary"
axis type).
