Create an Axis for a
PowerFlex 527 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, and then add it to
your motion group.
1. Double-click the PowerFlex 527 drive in the controller organizer.
2. Click the Associated Axes tab.
3. Click New Axis.
