Axis container name
The following program commands can be addressed via the axis container name (<axis
container>):
● Program commands:
–
AXCTSWE(<axis container>)
–
AXCTSWED(<axis container>)
–
AXCTSWEC(<axis container>)
The following names are possible:
CT<container number>: The number of the axis container is attached to the CT letter
combination.
Example:
CT3
<container name>: Individual name of the axis container set using
MD12750 $MN_AXCT_NAME_TAB
Example:
A_CONT3
<axis name>: Axis name of a container axis which is known in the channel
involved.
Implicit wait
There is an implicit wait for the completion of a requested axis container rotation if one of the
following events has occurred:
● Part program language commands which will cause a container axis assigned to this axis
container in this channel to move
●
GET(<channel axis name>) on a corresponding container axis
● The next
AXCTSWE(<axis container>) for this axis container
Note
Even an
IC(0) will result in a wait including synchronization where necessary (block-by-
block change in addressing according to incremental dimension even though an absolute
dimension has been set globally).
