1.2 SETTING EACH AXIS
1.2.1 Axis Name
General
Those axes (including PMC-controlled axes) that are controlled by the
CNC must be named.
Axis names can be selected from X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V, and W (with
parameter No. 1020).
When parallel axis control, synchronization control, or tandem control
is used, the same axis name can be assigned to multiple axes. In this
case, a suffix like Xm or Xs can be assigned so that each axis can be
identified for current position display and alarm indication. Parameter
No. 1021 is used to assign a suffix to an axis name.
- Axis name extension function
When the optional axis name extension function is used, axis names I, J,
K, and E can also be used.
