Note: 1. When you set a value using STEP7, adjust it to this machine data
setting.
2. This address is effective also for the following GAP axis. When
you make a setting using STEP7, define an address of 1 axis length
also for an axis that is to be set as an GAP axis.
 Precautions in setting GAP axis
• The parking setting (GAP axis setting), which is made to a drive not to be used, is possible only
when the drive is a Servo drive.
• Spindle drive cannot be set up as a parking drive. (In the case of a spindle drive, you need to mask
alarms relating to a motor and encoder as active axis. Refer to 14.1.8.)
• With hardware configuration, you can set up a drive as being a parking drive (inactive drive
although connected to a system) by selecting a GAP axis (G). However, if you want to specify an
axis connected to a Converter end edge as being a GAP axis, do not set as such during the hard-
ware configuration, but configure the whole system counting out the axis. (You can also use 7
axes, setting the 8th axis as a parking axis.)
• You need to assign a logical address of MD13050 even to a GAP axis. For this reason, in STEP7,
assign an axis address even to an axis to be set as a GAP axis like an active axis.
 Machine data setting
The following are machine data for setting up axis configuration.
• MD10000 AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB [0] (1st axis)
MD10000 AXCONF_MACHAX_NAME_TAB [1] (2nd axis)
: (Repeat for 20 axes)
Meaning: Machine axis name
Names of active axes, simulation axes, and inactive axes are defined irrespec-
tive of their group. The sequence in which each axis is defined here becomes
an axis number displayed in the axis MD screen.
Setting value: X1, X2, C1, and etc.
• MD10002 AXCONF_LOGIC_MACHAX_TAB [0] (1st axis)
MD10002 AXCONF_LOGIC_MACHAX_TAB [1] (2nd axis)
: (Repeat for 20 axes)
Meaning: Machine axis number
Defines an axis number defined by MD10000
Setting value: AX1, AX2, and AX3...
• MD20050 AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB [0] (1st axis)
MD20050 AXCONF_GEOAX_ASSIGN_TAB [1] (2nd axis)
: (Repeat for all remaining axes)
Meaning: Geometry axis number for each channel
Setting value: 1, 2, and 3...
Note: You cannot set up for the Spindle axis.
