Starting up the virtual axis

  • A MOVISUITE® project with a virtual axis has been created and is open.
  1. In the function view of MOVISUITE®, click the node of the virtual axis.
    • The configuration menu of the virtual axis opens.
  2. Adjust the configuration of the virtual axis as needed in the configuration menus described in the following.

The configuration menu of the virtual axis contains the following submenus:

  • Device data – Description of the virtual axis. This is where you can see the customer-specific device designation.
  • Drive train DT1 – The virtual axis supports exactly one drive train. This drive train contains only the "user units" component.
  • Drive functions – Only a small range of functions is available here compared to a real axis (inverter).
  • Monitoring functions – Limit switches and limits of the virtual axis. The limit switches are taken into operation in the MOVIKIT® MultiMotion software module.
  • MOVIKIT® MultiMotion software module – The MOVIKIT® MultiMotion software module can be taken into operation as described in chapter Starting up MOVIKIT® software modules.
