Main.axislist

WARNING This information is highly technical - but it is not exhaustive. Please DO NOT make experimental changes to this file unless you know exactly how each variable affects the operation of CNC Bender. If you have a doubt, then please ask us first.

What is It?

The main.axislist file exists in the c:\cnc\config\axis folder. It contains setup information for each of the controlled axes on a CNC bender.

Sections

Each of the sections in the main.axislist is set apart with an axis section label like this:

[Axis 1]

Each section has individual properties that pertain to that axis.

Properties

Example properties for an axis:

[Axis 1]
Type=Feed
Module Name=servo_controller_module_1
Module Axis=1
Position Multiplier For Display= 1.0
Position Rollover= 32000
Position Rollover Tolerance= 100
// Move Feed Axis forward 0.25 forward and make that ZERO
// This prevents ever getting into slight negative region
// which causes rollover problems.
Position Offset=0.25
Position Offset Speed=400
Datum Offset=0
Home Required=1
Monitor Fault State=1
Monitor Enable State=1
Monitor In-Position State=0
// 1 = -10 to +10 volts
Analog Clamp Voltage Setup=1
Digital To Analog Datum=8191
Is Linear = 1
Delay After Cycle Start = 0
Dont Move If Position Within Tolerance Value = 0.5

Note that remarks may be added to the file with lines preceded by double forward slashes.

// Move Feed Axis forward 0.25 forward and make that ZERO
