Creating Axes With Path Interpolation; Creating A Path Object - Siemens SIMOTION Function Manual

Configuring the Path Object

3.2 Creating axes with path interpolation

3.2 Creating axes with path interpolation
● When creating an axis in SCOUT, enable the path interpolation technology.
Notes
When you specify the path interpolation technology for an Axis technology object, a path
object is not inserted automatically.
A positioning axis, for example, cannot be changed into a path axis at a later point.
Interconnections are made on the path object.
See Interconnecting a path object (Page 92).
If synchronous operation is not selected,
● a synchronous object is not created
● the synchronous interconnections selection is not displayed.
Synchronous operation can be selected or cleared the next time the axis wizard is run.

Creating a path object

In SIMOTION SCOUT, path objects are created at the same level as an Axis and a Cam
technology object. These path objects can be assigned to all applicable axes of the device.
1. To create a new path object, double-click Insert path object under PATH OBJECTS in the
