1. AXIS CONTROL
5
Each axis that is controlled by the CNC (including those controlled by the
PMC) must be named. Select and set names from among X, Y, Z, A, B,
C, U, V, and W (with parameter 1020).
The names of the basic axes, however, are fixed (X, Y, and Z for the M
series and X and Z for the T series). The names of additional axes can be
selected, as desired, from the names other than those for the basic axes.
The same name cannot be assigned to more than one axis.
With 2–path control, the name of the basic axis for one path is fixed. The
names of additional axes can be optionally selected from axes names,
except axes names of basic axes by using parameter No. 1020. For one
path, the same axis name cannot be assigned to multiple axes, but the
same axis name can be used with the other path.
