Configuration of the option in TwinCAT

5.3.1

Adding an axis module

When adding an axis module in TwinCAT 3, a distinction is made between a module with TwinSAFE drive
option and a module without TwinSAFE drive option. After adding a supply module, an axis module can be
added under the Drives category.

In addition to the manual creation of the configuration, it can also be created by scanning the EtherCAT line.
5.3.2

Using the AX8911 with the default project

The AX8911 TwinSAFE drive option, with which an STO function can be implemented, is installed in the
AX8xxx-x1xx devices. Information on this project can be found in Default STO function in the AX8911 [} 33].
To use the AX8911 in a project (e.g. EL6910), add an Alias Device AX891x (Safe Drive Module).
