● The geometry axis name entered must not conflict with the designations and
assignments of the machine and channel axis names or other identifiers.
● The geometry axis name entered must not include any of the following reserved
address letters:
- D Tool offset (D function) - E Reserved
- F Feedrate (F function) - G Path condition
- H Auxiliary function (H function) - L Subroutine call
- M Miscellaneous function (M function) - N Subblock
- P Subroutine number of passes - R Arithmetic parameters
- S Spindle speed (S function) - T Tool (T function)
● The name must not include any keywords (e.g. DEF, SPOS etc.) or pre-defined
identifiers (e.g. ASPLINE, SOFT).
● The use of
an axis identifier consisting of a valid address letter (A, B, C, I, J,
K, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, Z) followed by an optional numerical extension (1-99) gives
slightly better block cycle times than a general identifier.
● Identical names may be given to geometry axes assigned to different channels.

Description: This MD is used to specify the machine axis which the channel axis/special axis is
assigned to. Each
channel axis has to be assigned to a specific channel. A machine axis
that has not been assigned to a channel is inactive, i.e. the axis control is not
computed, the axis is not shown on the screen, and it cannot be programmed in any
channel.
Special cases:
● Each
geometry axis must be assigned to a channel axis and a machine axis so that it
can be programmed.
● Up to software version 4, the list of entries must not contain any gaps (as from
software version 5 - see above). In contrast, the assignment of the machine axes
used may contain gaps.
For example:
Permissible:
AXCONF_MACHAX_USED [0] = 3; 3rd MA is the 1st axis in the channel
AXCONF_MACHAX_USED [1] = 1; 1st MA is the 2nd axis in the channel
AXCONF_MACHAX_USED [2] = 5; 5th MA is the 3rd axis in the channel
AXCONF_MACHAX_USED [3] = 0
Error for software version 4, permissible for version 5:
