Further Information
Axis container
The following can be assigned via the axis container:
• Local axes and/or
• Link axes
Axis containers with link axes are a NCU-cross device (NCU-global) that is coordinated via
the control. It is also possible to have axis containers that are only used for managing local
axes.

Enable criteria
AXCTSWE( )
Command AXCTSWE is used to enable axis container rotation on a channel-for-channel basis.
Rotation is executed if all channels, which have axes in the container, have issued an enable
signal.
Axis container rotation is realized with the increment saved in the setting data:
SD41700 $SN_AXCT_SWWIDTH[<axis container>]
The following example should
Example:
After the axis container is rotated through increment 1, channel axis Z is assigned to axis AX5
on NCU1 instead of axis AX1 on NCU1.
