Specifying attributes for an AXIS_VIRTUAL tag
The axis tags differ from the basic tag. The AXIS_VIRTUAL tag has
these attributes:
Attribute: Description:
Description
Provide information about the tag.
Specify:
Description := ”
text
”
Comment
Provide information about a tag component.
Specify:
Comment<
specifier
> := ”
text
”
Where the
specifier
is:
.
bitnumber
for a bit in the tag
[
element
] for an array element of the tag
.
membername
for a structure member of the tag
MotionGroup
Enter the name of the associated motion group, or enter <NA>.
Specify:
MotionGroup :=

ConversionConstant
Specify the number of feedback counts per position unit. Enter a real number from
1.0 to 1.0e
9
.
Specify:
ConversionConstant :=
value
OutputCamExecutionTargets
Specify the number of output cam execution targets (any positive number).
Specify:
OutputCamExecutionTargets :=

AxisState
Enter Axis-Ready, Direct Drive Control, Servo Control, Axis Faulted, or Axis Shutdown.
Specify:
AxisState :=
text
PositionUnits
Specify user-defined engineering units (rather than feedback units).
Specify:
PositionUnits :=

unwind (any positive number).
Specify:
PositionUnwind :=
value
HomeMode
Specify the homing mode. Enter Passive, Active, or Absolute.
Specify:
HomeMode :=

HomeDirection
For active homing sequences, except for the immediate sequence type, specify the desired
homing direction. Enter Uni-directional Forward, Bi-directional Forward, Uni-directional
Reverse, or Bi-directional Reverse.
Specify:
HomeDirection :=
text
HomeSequence
Specify the event that will cause the home position to be set. Enter Immediate, Switch,
Marker, or Switch-Marker.
Specify:
HomeSequence :=
text
HomeConfigurationBits
Specify the home configuration bits. Enter a hexadecimal number.
Specify:
HomeConfigurationBits := 16#
value
HomePosition
Specify the desired absolute position, in positioning units, for the axis after the homing
sequence is complete (any positive number).
