Rotary axis
If the indexing axis is defined as a rotary axis (MD30300 $MA_IS_ROT_AX = "1") with
modulo 360° conversion (MD30310 $MA_ROT_IS_MODULO = "1"), indexing positions are
also approached with modulo 360
then be entered in the indexing position table. Otherwise alarm 4080 "Incorrect configuration
for indexing axis in MD [Name]" is output during power-up.
The position display can be set to modulo 360° as follows:
MD30320 $MA_DISPLAY_IS_MODULO = 1
Special machine data
The following machine data must be set in addition:
General machine data
MD10900 $MN_INDEX_AX_LENGTH_POS_TAB_1
MD10920 $MN_INDEX_AX_LENGTH_POS_TAB_2
MD10910 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_1 [n]
MD10930 $MN_INDEX_AX_POS_TAB_2 [n]

Examples
The assignment of the above machine data is described in the following paragraphs using
two examples.
Example 1: Indexing axis as rotary axis
Tool turret with 8 locations. The tool turret is defined as a continuously rotating rotary axis.
The distances between the 8 turret locations are constant. The first turret location is located
at position 0°:
