Configuring an Axis of Motion
Configuration/profile table
You must create a configuration/profile table for the Axis of Motion in order for the CPU to
control your motion application. The Motion wizard makes the configuration process quick
and easy by leading you step-by-step through the configuration process. Refer to the
"Advanced Topics" section of this chapter for detailed information about the
configuration/profile table.
The Motion wizard also allows you to create the configuration/profile table offline. You can
create the configuration without being connected to a CPU.
Starting the Motion wizard
To start the Motion wizard, either click the Tools icon in the navigation bar and then double-
click the Motion wizard icon, or select the Tools > Motion wizard menu command.
Selecting type of measurement
Select the measurement system: You can select either engineering units or pulses:
● If you select pulses, no other information is required.
● If you select engineering units, enter the number of pulses required to produce one
revolution of the motor (refer to the data sheet for your motor or drive), the base unit of
measurement (such as inch, foot, millimeter, or centimeter), and the distance traveled in
one revolution of the motor.
If you change the measurement system later, you must delete the entire configuration
including any instructions generated by the Motion wizard. You must then enter your
selections consistent with the new measurement system.
