Associate Axes and Drives
The two ways to establish the drive/axis associations are:
• The first way is to assign the drive to the axis on the Associated Axis tab in
the Module Properties dialog box.
• The second way is to assign the axis to the drive on the General dialog box
for the axis.
Follow these steps on the General dialog box and the Module Properties dialog
box to associate the axis to a drive module and to map the drive to the axis.
1. Go to the General dialog box for the axis.
2. Choose the drive module that you want the axis to be associated with.
3. Leave the Axis Number as 1, the default.
When you select a Kinetix 6500 drive, the drive catalog and the power
structure you assigned appears. If you have not assigned a power structure,
this message appears The Kinetix 350 and the Kinetix 5500 drives do not
require a power structure, so this message does not appear.
This message means that without fully defining the drive with a power
structure, the factory defaults cannot be computed.
See Assign the appropriate Power Structure. on page 23

If you are using a Kinetix 6500 drive, click the hyperlink to go to the Module
Properties dialog box for the drive to assign a Power Structure.
