Active Active indicates that the command is executed (currently Active=Busy, see

BufferMode)

CommandAborted Becomes TRUE, if the command could not be fully executed. The axis may

have become decoupled during the coupling process (simultaneous

command execution).

Error Becomes TRUE, as soon as an error occurs.

ErrorID If the error output is set, this parameter supplies the error number, see

Overview of NC errors (TC2).

Inputs/outputs

VAR_IN_OUT

Master: AXIS_REF;

Slave: AXIS_REF;

END_VAR

Master Master axis data structure.

Slave Slave axis data structure.

The axis data structure of type AXIS_REF addresses an axis uniquely within the system. Among other

parameters, it contains the current axis status, including position, velocity or error status.
