Chapter 6 Define a tag component
118 Rockwell Automation Publication 1756-RM084S-EN-P - March 2015
Each of the axis tags has this structure.
L5X axis structure
In an .L5X file, axis attributes are in the Data element.
<Data Format="Axis">
<AxisParameters [Axis_Attributes]/>
</Data>
L5K AXIS TAG structure
In an .L5K file, axis attributes are in the tag statement.
<tag_name> : <type>
[(Axis_Attributes)];
Axis tag attributes
These attributes are for the AXIS_CONSUMED, AXIS_GENERIC_DRIVE,
AXIS_SERVO, AXIS_SERVO_DRIVE, and AXIS_VIRTUAL tags. For
information about attributes for AXIS_CIP_DRIVE tags, see the Integrated
Motion on the Ethernet/IP Network Configuration and Startup User Manual
publication MOTION-UM003.
Attribute Description
MotionGroup
Type the name of the associated motion group, or type NA.
For L5X, if there is no Motion group, then the attribute is not present.
MotionModule
Type the name of the associated motion module, or type NA.
For L5X, if there is no Motion module, then the attribute is not present.
MotorCatalogNumber
Specify the catalog number of the motor that this axis is connected or type NONE.
RotationalPosResolution Specify the number of counts per motor revolution (1...[232-1]).
ConversionConstant Specify the number of feedback counts per position unit. Type a real number from 1.0...1.0e9.
OutputCamExecutionTargets Specify the number of output cam execution targets (any positive number).
AxisState
Type Axis-Ready, Direct Drive Control, Servo Control, Axis Faulted, or Axis Shutdown.
PositionUnits Specify user-defined engineering units, rather than feedback units.
AverageVelocityTimebase Specify the time in seconds for calculating the average velocity of the axis (any positive number).
RotaryAxis
Specify the positioning mode for an axis. Type Rotary or Linear.
PositionUnwind For a rotary axis, specify the distance, in feedback counts, used to perform electronic unwind (any positive number).
HomeMode
Specify the homing mode. Type Passive, Active, or Absolute.
