HEIDENHAIN MANUALPLUS 620 - 6.6.2 Writing axis information-activating and deactivating axes

678 HEIDENHAIN Technical Manual MANUALplus 620
6.6.2 Writing axis information—activating and deactivating axes
This chapter describes how to activate and deactivate axes during operation
and without rebooting the MANUALplus 620, e.g. in order to exchange milling
heads.
The MANUALplus 620 has two machine parameters in the CfgAxis
configuration object. They describe the type of connection and the behavior of
axes:
 MP_axisHw (300104)
 MP_axisMode (300105)
With MP_axisMode you specify whether the affected axis is known to the
system (= Active) or not (= NotActive). If axes are not known, there is also no
need for any further parameters. Virtual axes (= Virtual) and axes controlled by
the PLC (= PlcControlled) are ignored in the checks for activating and
deactivating.
With the MP_axisHw parameter you define the hardware type of the axis at
the time of the control startup. For the settings possible, see "MP_axisHw" on
page 635.
Note
For activation and deactivation of axes to be possible at all, the
MP_axisMode parameter has to have the value Active.
