Axis Basic Settings - Omron NY532-1500 User Manual

Refer to 3-2 Axis Setting Procedure for details on how to set axis parameters.
For details on instructions including the MC_Write (Write MC Setting) instruction, refer to the NY-series
Motion Control Instructions Reference Manual (Cat. No. W561).
Refer to 6-6 System-defined Variables for Motion Control for information on system-defined variables
for motion control.

Axis Basic Settings

The Axis Basic Settings are used to set whether to use the axis. If you use the axis, set the axis type
and the node address of the EtherCAT slave device.

*1 Busy (Controlling) changes to TRUE if you execute a motion control instruction for an undefined or unused
axis. Busy changes to FALSE when Execute or Enable changes to FALSE. You can set axes as unused axes
to enable using the same user program for different axis configurations without the need to delete program-
ming for axes that are not used.
*2 Unused axis (changeable to used axis) and Unused axis (unchangeable to used axis) are displayed by the
Sysmac Studio. If you set Unused axis (changeable to used axis), you can set the axis parameters and use the
MC_ChangeAxisUse (Change Axis Use) instruction to temporarily change the setting of the Axis Use axis
parameter. Refer to 9-8-10 Changing Axis Use for details.
*3 For an NX-series Position Interface Unit, select the node address of the EtherCAT Coupler Unit and the NX
Unit number of the Position Interface Unit.
Precautions for Correct Use Precautions for Correct Use
Using Absolute Encoders
When absolute encoders are used, the absolute encoder home offset for each axis is saved to
the non-volatile memory along with the axis number. The saved offset is lost if the axis number is
changed. If you change the axis number, set the Homing Settings again.

Function
Set the logical number of the axis. This number spec-
ifies which of the following system-defined variables
to use:_MC_AX[0] to _MC_AX[63].
Set whether to enable or disable the axis.
0: Undefined axis
*2
1: Unused axis
2: Used axis
Set the axis type. I/O wiring is not required for virtual
axes.
0: Servo axis
1: Encoder axis
2: Virtual servo axis
3: Virtual encoder axis
Specify the node address of the EtherCAT slave
device that is assigned to the axis.
The Node Address parameter cannot be selected if
the Axis Type parameter is set to a virtual axis.
