1.16 Transfer axis to another channel (AXTOCHAN)

Varying the axis replacement behavior
The transfer point of axes can be set as follows using machine data:
• Automatic axis replacement between two channels then also takes place when the axis
• When requesting an axis container rotation, all axes of the axis container which can be
• When an intermediate block is inserted in the main run, a check will be made to
• Instead of a GET block with preprocessing stop and synchronization between

Function
The AXTOCHAN NC 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 parts program and from a synchronized action.
Programming
AXTOCHAN(axis name,channel number[,axis name,channel number[,...]])
Parameters

determine whether or not reorganization is required. Reorganization is only necessary if
the axis states of this block do not match the current axis states.
preprocessing and main run, axes can be replaced without a preprocessing stop. In this
case, an intermediate block is simply generated with the GET request. In the main run,
when this block is executed, the system checks whether the states of the axes in the
block match the current axis states.
