Axis variables

An axis is generated/initialized by the axis setting in the engineering tool. The set axis is assigned to the global label data or
the local label data as an axis variable.
The axis is defined as an axis variable configured with monitor information axes such as the parameter information, the
current position, and the status, etc.
An axis variable data type changes depending on the axis type.
For the setting of the engineering tool, refer to the following.
