A.1 Axis renumbering

The factory preset axis numbering assigns axes 0 - 3 as stepper axes and axes 4 and 5 as servo axes. However, it is possible to alter the axis numbering scheme. For example, you might wish axes 0 and 1 to refer to the servo axes, and axes 2 to 5 to refer to the stepper axes. There are certain hardware limitations that must be considered when altering the axis numbering scheme:

HA maximum of two servo axes and 4 stepper axes may be assigned.

HAxes 0 and 4 share an internal hardware channel. This means they cannot both be servo or stepper axes. If one is servo, the other must be stepper. The servo demand output for axis 0 or 4 is always the DEMAND0 output, with Encoder0 as the feedback channel.

The stepper output is always STEP0.

HAxes 1 and 5 share an internal hardware channel. This means they cannot both be servo or stepper axes. If one is servo, the other must be stepper. The servo demand output for axis 1 or 5 is always the DEMAND1 output, with Encoder1 as the feedback channel. The stepper output is always STEP1.

HAxes 2 and 3 are always stepper axes; they cannot be reassigned as servo axes. Their outputs are STEP2 and STEP3 respectively.

Before axes can be reassigned, they must be turned off. This removes their existing servo / stepper assignments and inhibits their electrical outputs. In the following example, axis 4 will be reassigned as a stepper axis, and axis 0 as a servo axis:

1.In the Toolbox, click Application, then click the Edit & Debug icon.

2.Click in the Command window.

3.Type the command:

CONFIG[0,1,2,3,4,5]=_cfOFF;

This will turn off all axes. There will now be no electrical output for any of the axes.
