Axis Configuration functions
The following table describes the Axis Configuration functions.
Function name | Description |
---|---|
EnableAxisUnitConversion | Enables the axis to use a real-world unit. |
GetAxisAvailableControlModes | Checks the control modes the axis can use. |
GetAxisError | Gets general axis errors not relating to the functions, such as axis errors, drive errors, and communication errors. |
GetAxisInfo | Gets information concerning an axis, such as modes, inputs directly related to the axis, and certain status information. |
GetAxisMotionState | Gets the state of the axis in connection with the motion currently in progress. |
GetAxisParameter | Gets the value of a vendor-specific parameter from an axis. |
GetAxisState | Gets the state of the selected axis. |
PowerAxis | Enables or disables the operation of an axis. |
ResetAxis | Makes the transition from the state ErrorStop to Standstill or Disabled by resetting all internal axis-related errors – it doesn't affect the output of the function instances. |
SetAxisControlMode | Sets a control mode of an axis at run time. |
SetAxisCountsPerUnit | Sets the conversion ratio of the user-defined position unit to the count (pulse) unit used by an axis. |
SetAxisMotionProfile | Configures the motion settings of an axis. |
SetAxisNegativeLimitSwitch | Sets a negative limit switch for an axis. |
SetAxisParameter | Sets the value of a vendor-specific parameter for an axis. |
SetAxisPositiveLimitSwitch | Sets a positive limit switch for an axis. |
SetAxisSecondEncoderCountsPerUnit | Sets the conversion ratio of the user-defined position unit to the count (pulse) unit used by an axis for the secondary encoder. |
SetAxisTorquePid | Configures the PID settings used by an axis in the torque mode. |
SetAxisVelocityPid | Configures the PID settings used by an axis in the velocity mode. |
