5 Motion Control Parameters
5-8
NJ/NX-series CPU Unit Motion Control Userās Manual (W507)
*1 Set this parameter when using the NX701 CPU Unit.
*2 Busy (Controlling) changes to TRUE if you execute a motion control instruction for an undefined or unused
axis. Busy changes to FALSE when Execute or Enable changes to FALSE. You can set axes as unused axes
to enable using the same user program for different axis configurations without the need to delete program-
ming for axes that are not used.
*3 With a CPU Unit with unit version 1.04 or later and Sysmac Studio version 1.05 or higher, Unused axis
(changeable to used axis) and Unused axis (unchangeable to used axis) are displayed by the Sysmac Studio.
If you set Unused axis (changeable to used axis), you can set the axis parameters and use the
MC_ChangeAxisUse (Change Axis Use) instruction to temporarily change the setting of the Axis Use axis
parameter. Refer to 9-8-10 Changing Axis Use for details.
*4 Set this parameter when using the NX102 CPU Unit and NX1P2 CPU Unit.
*5 To use the axis as a motion control axis, select All. To use the axis as a single-axis position control axis, select
Single-axis position control only.
*6 For an NX-series Position Interface Unit, select the node address of the EtherCAT Coupler Unit and the NX
Unit number of the Position Interface Unit.
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
Using Absolute Encoders
When absolute encoders are used, the absolute encoder home offset for each axis is saved to
the battery-backup memory along with the axis number. The saved offset is lost if the axis num-
ber is changed. If you change the axis number, set the Homing Settings again.
You can set the number for axis numbers up to the maximum number of controlled axes. You can
change the number of real axes to used axes up to the maximum number of used real axes.
Input Device/Output
Device
Specify the node address of the EtherCAT slave
device that is assigned to the axis.
*6
The Node Address parameter cannot be selected if
the Axis Type parameter is set to a virtual axis.
