CIMPLICITYAxis Position Data
| Axis Position data points | Are read-only. |
- Points for axis positions attributes.
- Address specifications.
- Support for obtaining data.
Points for axis positions attributes
When configuring these points, you must specify the following attributes.
- Static axis positions.
- Absolute axis positions.
- Distance-to-go axis positions.
- Machine axis positions.
Address specifications
Address specifications for axis positions include the following.
| Address specification | Indicates |
|---|---|
| Two-letter prefix | Position type |
| Number following the prefix | Particular axis. |
Example
DA6 specifies Distance-to-Go axis number 6.
Support for obtaining data
Support is provided for obtaining data from up to:
| Axes | CNC |
|---|---|
| 24 axes | Series 150/150i |
| 8 axes | Series 160/180/210, 160i/180i/210i, 0i-A/B/C |
| 32 axes | Series 30i/31i/32i. |
| 4 axes | Series 0i-D |
| 2 axes | PowerMatei-D |
| 6 axes | PowermateH, iH |
You will only be able to obtain data for the number of controlled axes that are configured in your CNC.
Example
If your CNC is currently configured for 3 controlled axes, you can define points for Machine Axis Positions MA1 - MA8. However, only points MA1, MA2, and MA3 will have values.
