7.6.4 Assigning a handwheel to an axis
Module 9036 allows you to assign a handwheel connected to connection X23 
to an axis (NC or PLC axis). The module also defines the transmission ratio.
As an alternative, you can define the axis assignment for an HR 410 (with 
evaluation of the keys by the NC) or for three HR 150s via HRA 110 through 
MP_selectAxes; see "MP_selectAxes" on page 1338.
Use Module 9035 to find the axis to which the handwheel is assigned.
Module 9036 Write NC status information
The module modifies status information from the NC. The status information 
to be modified is transferred by function number.
 Select the handwheel axis function: The handwheel connected to 
connector X23 of the MC is assigned to an axis.
 Set the handwheel transmission ratio: The handwheel transmission ratio 
is defined.
You can change the following status information:
Number of 
the function
Function Value
0 Handwheel subdivision X 0 to 10: Subdivision factors
1 Handwheel subdivision Y 0 to 10: Subdivision factors
2 Handwheel subdivision Z 0 to 10: Subdivision factors
3 Handwheel subdivision IV 0 to 10: Subdivision factors
4 Handwheel subdivision V 0 to 10: Subdivision factors
5 Handwheel subdivision for 
all axes
0 to 10: Subdivision factors
6 Select the handwheel axis Index from MP_axisList or
-1: Deselect all axes

On the MANUALplus 620, only function 6 "Select the handwheel axis" from 
the table above is used.
