5.1 Group Definition
The “Group” objects are used to define one or several “positioners” in the same motion
group. The available motion groups are defined in the section [GROUPS] in the
system.ini file and the group types are:
• SingleAxis (1 positioner)/“Gantry” SingleAxis (2 positioners)
• SingleAxisWithClamping (1 positioner)
• SingleAxisTheta (1 positioner)
• Spindle (1 positioner)
• XY (2 positioners)/“Gantry” XY (3 or 4 positioners)
• XYZ (3 positioners)
• MultipleAxes/“Gantry” MultipleAxes (1 to 8 positioners)
• TZ (3 positioners)
5.1.1 Object Structure
A motion “Group” is created in relation to a group type (SingleAxis,
SingleAxisWithClamping, SingleAxisTheta, Spindle, XY, XYZ, TZ or MultipleAxes).
A group is defined by a group name.
NOTE
The maximum number of positioners in the same group is limited to 8.
