Using Virtual Axes 663
See AxisLink Blocks in the Functional Blocks chapter of this manual for
more information on the Virtual Axis Control block.
After enabling a virtual axis, the variable Axislink_status = 1 for that
virtual axis. The virtual axis can be tested, while moving the linked
motion controller’s physical axis, by reading its actual position using
General Watch.
Because AxisLink virtual axes are functionally equivalent to physical
Master Only axes, they can be used in place of a physical axis in the
following blocks:
• Redefine Position
•Home Axis
• Gear Axes (Master axis only)
• Position Lock Cam (Master axis only)
•On Axis
• Output Cam
• Watch Control
•On Watch
• Show Axis Position
