6.1.7 Reading axis information
July 2013
Module 9038 Read general axis information
With Module 9038 you can interrogate the general status information of the
axes. You can interrogate the status of a specific axis or of all axes at once.
Bits 0 to 14 represent axes 1 to 15. Bit 15 represents the spindle (depends on
MP4020 bit 14). If status information is read for only one axis, only bit 0 is
changed. The following table shows the meanings of the return codes:
Status
Meaning
information
0
0: Axis (spindle) not active (MP10 or MP3010 or no encoder)
1: Axis (spindle) active
1
Depending on the current traverse range:
0: NC axis or not active
1: PLC axis
2
0: No closed-loop axis (spindle), only display or not active
1: Closed-loop axis (spindle)
3
Maximum temperature of the motor [°C]
4
0: Not a Hirth axis
1: Hirth axis (MP420)
5
Hirth grid [1/10 µm] (MP430)
6
Modulo value (MP810)
7
0: Linear axis or not active
1: Rotary axis in at least one of the traverse ranges
8
0: Analog axis (spindle) or not active
1: Digital axis (spindle)
9
0: Not a slave axis
1: Slave axis
