Effectiveness
After an axis container rotation, all NCUs are involved in the new axis assignment whose
channels refer to the rotated axis container via the logical machine axis image.
Axis container revolution with implicit GET/GETD
When an axis container revolution is enabled, all axis container axes assigned to the
channel are assigned to the channel with GET or GETD. Axes cannot be released until the
axis container has been rotated.
Note
This behavior can be set using machine data. Please refer to the machine manufacturer's
instructions.
Note
Axis container rotation with implicit GET / GETDcannot be used for an axis in the state main
run axis, (e.g. for a PLC axis) as this axis would have to exit the main run status for the
purpose of axis container rotation.
