Chapter 7 Axis Scheduling
Axis Scheduling
Configuration
In the Studio 5000 Logix Designer application, you use the Axis Schedule
Panel, accessible from the Attribute tab of the Motion Group Properties dialog
box, to configure the update periods. The Axis Schedule Panel provides a Base
Update Period and two alternatives. Information such as Estimated Utilization
and Actual Utilization appear on this panel.
The alternative rates for lower performance drives provide a way for multiple
drives to be ‘multiplexed’ through one drive update channel. Axis Scheduling
allows multiple drives to be updated by using the same amount of controller
and network capacity as used in updating one non-multiplexed drive.
