Example:
The user wants to change the axis number 2 into the axis number 6:
SER.2 ;The controller gives its serial number, for example 4059.
AXI.2=4059,6 ;The axis has now the number 6 (for the DSCDP, DSCDL and DSCDM, the second axis
has now the number 7)
The new number has to be saved once for all future applications with the SAV command.
SAV.6=2 ;The new axis number has been saved (for the DSCDP, DSCDL and DSCDM, the second
axis number is calculated with regards to the first one).
Remark: The SAV command is given for the axis 6 and not for axis 2 (refer to §11.
for more information).
In case of dual axes controller (DSCDP, DSCDL and DSCDM), the SAV command must be used
only on the even axis number.
If there are two or more controllers on the same TEB ring with the same axis number, the BAD NODE TEB
ERR error (M64=59) will appear. This error will be generated only on the duplicated node(s) and its (their) LED
’TEB OK’ will blink.
12.1.3 Serial number and firmware version
The SER command (SERial number) which is an alias of monitoring M73 is used to know the serial number of
the position controller. It can be requested by the AXI command before changing the axis number.
The VER command (VERsion) which is an alias of monitoring M72 is used to know the firmware version
contained in the controller (refer to §12.12
for more information).
