Number of drives depending on the control mode and cycle times

The number of axes that can be operated with a Control Unit depends on the cycle times
and the control mode. The number of usable axes and the associated clock cycle times for
each control type are listed below. The other available remaining computation times are
available for options (e.g. DCC).
Cycle times for servo control and HLA
The following table lists the number of axes that can be operated with a Control Unit in servo
control and HLA. The number of axes is also dependent on the cycle times of the controller:

Valid for TM31 or TM15IO; restrictions are possible for TM54F, TM41, TM15, TM17, TM120, TM150 depending on the

set sampling time.
In the cycle level 31.25 µs, you can also create the following objects:

Sensor Module External (SME) and SMC20 that support the current firmware and hardware. These can be recognized
from the Order end number ... 3.
No additional axis can be operated in this cycle level.
Adjustable pulse frequencies and current controller cycles for servo control
The pulse frequencies that can be set depending on the selected current controller cycle are
shown in r0114. Because of the integrating current measurement, pulse frequencies that are
a multiple of half the current controller sampling frequency should be preferred. Otherwise,
the current is not measured synchronous to the pulse frequency and a fluctuating actual
current value results. This causes disturbance in the control circuits and higher losses in the
motor (such as pulse frequency 5.333 kHz and current controller cycle 62.5 μs).
