Chapter 2 Configure Integrated Motion Using a PowerFlex 755 Drive
Create an Axis for a
PowerFlex 755 Drive
Once you have added a drive, selected the power structure, and assigned a
feedback device, you can create and configure an axis. You must apply the changes
and exit the Associated Axis dialog box before the option to create an axis
becomes available.
There are two approaches that you can take to create and configure an axis. You
can create an axis first and then add the axis to your motion group, or you can
create your motion group and then add an axis. The procedure that is outlined in
this section takes the approach to create your axis first, configure the axis, and
then add it to your motion group.
Follow these steps to create an axis.
1. Double-click the drive in the Controller Organizer.
2. Click the Associated Axes tab.
3. Click New Axis.
The New Tag dialog box appears.
4. Typ e the name.
TIP
You can also create an axis directly off the Motion Group in the controller
organizer.
