11.5.11 Positioning axes
Positioning axes are channel axes traversing parallel to the path axes without interpolating
with them.
Positioning axes can be traversed either from the parts program or from the PLC.
Concurrent positioning axes
A channel axis is assigned to the PLC by default via the following machine data:
● MD30450 $MA_IS_CONCURRENT_POS_AX (concurr. positioning axis) = 1
To traverse it from the part program later, it must be requested explicitly using a part
program statement (GET).
Positioning axis feedrate
If a positioning axis is programmed in the part program without specifying an axis-specific
feedrate, the feedrate entered in the following machine data is applicable to this axis
automatically:
● MD32060 $MA_POS_AX_VELO (initial setting for positioning axis velocity)
This feedrate will apply until an axis-specific feedrate is programmed in the part program for
this axis.
