3-5-3 Creating and Using Axes and Axis Variables
Set the Axis Basic Settings from the Sysmac Studio.
3 Use the Sysmac Studio to specify the settings required for Test Mode operation (Unit Conver-
sion, Count Mode, Limits, etc.) and the settings required for actual system operation. Then
transfer the settings to the CPU Unit with the project.
4 In the user program, an axis variable name is specified for the in-out variable Axis in motion con-
trol instructions.
For the axis variable name, specify the axis name (axis variable name) that was specified in the
Motion Control Setup or the system-defined variable _MC_AX[0..63].
You can execute motion control for the assigned Servo Drive or encoder input slave. An example
that specifies the axis variable name MyAxis1 is shown below.
Example:
Refer to 3-5-2 Axis Variables and Axes Group Variables for information on Axis Variables.
