1.16 Transfer axis to another channel (AXTOCHAN)
Function
The AXTOCHAN language command can be used to request an axis in order to move it to a
different channel. The axis can be moved to the corresponding channel both from the NC
part program and from a synchronized action.
Syntax
AXTOCHAN(axis name,channel number[,axis name,channel number[,...]])
Significance
AXTOCHAN: Request axis for a specific channel
Axis name: Axis assignment in the system: X, Y, … or entry of machine axis
names concerned. The executing channel does not have to be the
same channel or even the channel currently in possession of the
interpolation right for the axis.
Channel number: Name of the channel to which the axis is to be assigned
Note
Competing positioning axis and PLC controlled axis exclusively
A PLC axis cannot replace the channel as a competing positioning axis. An axis controlled
exclusively by the PLC cannot be assigned to the NC program.
