Object 'Axis group'

 

Symbol: _sm_icon_axis_group.png

In the editor of the Axis group object, select the basic kinematics and the tool kinematics. However, tool kinematics can be selected only when they are supported by the basic kinematics. In addition, you map the axes of the kinematics to the drives in your project.

Kinematics

Select kinematics

Change kinematics

Opens a list of all kinematics supported by CODESYS. If you have selected kinematics, then a short description is displayed in the window on the right.

If you have selected kinematics, then you can change the respective parameters in the editor.

Tool kinematics

Select kinematics

Change kinematics

Opens a list of all tool kinematics supported by CODESYS. If you have selected kinematics, then a short description is displayed in the window on the right.

If you have selected kinematics, then you can change the respective parameters in the editor.

Axis mapping

Depending on the selected kinematics, you map the axes of the kinematics to the drives in your project.

Tasks

Bus cycle task

Bus cycle task of the axes, if axes are already mapped. The setting cannot be changed here.

Planning task

Task for the planning of CP tasks.

A planning task is created automatically when the first axis group is added. The task that is used here should have lower priority than the bus cycle task of the axis group (recommended value: 15). The task should be freewheeling. A watchdog should not be configured because the execution time may fluctuate considerably.

If you delete this task, then an error is issued to the message view. Then you can create a new task again by clicking Project ‣ Create planning task .
