---
Specify the axes group.
*1
*1. Specify a user-defined Axes Group Variable that was created in the Axes Group Basic Settings of the Sysmac Studio
(default: MC_Group*) or a system-defined axes group variable name (_MC_GRP[*]).
If you use Sysmac Studio version 1.29 or higher
, you can specify the system-defined axes group variable name for AT
specification of a user-defined variable. This will allow you to specify the user-defined variable.
If you use Sysmac Studio version 1.28 or lower, do not specify any user-defined variable created in the variable table.
Function
Before describing the function of this instruction, the different states of axes groups are explained.
•
Axes groups have two states, the GroupEnable and GroupDisable states.
State Description
GroupEnable Multi-axes coordinated control is enabled.
Y
ou can execute any multi-axes coordinated control instructions except for the
MC_ChangeAxesInGroup (Change Axes In Group) instruction.
GroupDisable Multi-axes coordinated control is disabled.
Y
ou can execute only the following multi-axes coordinated control instructions.
• MC_GroupEnable (Enable Axes Group) instruction
• MC_GroupDisable (Disable Axes Group) instruction
• MC_GroupReset (Group Reset) instruction
• MC_GroupSetOverride (Set Group Overrides) instruction
• MC_GroupReadPosition (Read Axes Group Position) instruction
• MC_ChangeAxesInGroup (Change Axes in Group) instruction
• To perform multi-axes coordinated control, an axes group must be in a GroupEnable
state.
You can monitor the Axes Group Variables in the system-defined variables for motion control to see if
axes groups are enabled or disabled.
Name Meaning Description
_MC_GRP*.Status.Ready Axes Group Ena-
bled
TRUE when the axes group is stopped and preparations to exe-
cute an axes group instruction are completed.
_MC_GRP*.Status.Disabled Axes Group Dis-
