Setting
Linear axis: The position value will be
constantly increased (or decreased)
when the linear axis rotates toward
the positive direction (or negative
direction).
Rotary axis: The position value will
be calculated again from minimum
(maximum) value after the axis which
rotates toward the positive direction
(or negative direction) reaches the

Node Address
Setting
If Real axis is selected in the Axis
Type Setting box, the content in
Node Address Setting must be
chosen by the servo names and
station addresses in ECAT Builder. It
means that the axis is the set
EtherCAT servo drive to which the
actual output is delivered.
