Tag  The Single Axis being 
controlled by the Master Axis 
when the motion planner is in 
Master Driven mode. Ellipsis 
launches Axis properties 
dialog. 
The MDAC link is broken when 
the following instructions are 
executed: 
On the Slave Axis: MAS (All), 
MCS (All), MGS, MASD, MCSD, 
MGSD, a mode change. Note 
that MAS (anything other 
than All) and MCS 
(coordinated) do NOT break 
the MDAC link.   
The Shutdown instructions 
(MGSD, MASD, MCSD) never 
go IP. 
On the Master Axis: MASD, 
MCSD, and MGSD. Note that 
MAS and MCS for any Stop 
Type, including All, do NOT 
break the MDAC link. 
A mode change (Rem Run to 
Rem Prog or Rem Prog to Rem 
Run) or an axis fault also 
breaks the MDAC link.
