Function
AXCTSWE ()
Each channel whose axes are contained in the
specified container issues an enable for a
container rotation, if it has finished machining
the position/station. Once the control receives
the enables from all channels for the axes in
the container, the container is rotated with the
increment specified in the SD.
In the preceding example, after axis container
rotation by 1, axis AX5 on NCU1 is assigned to
channel axis Z instead of axis AX1 on NCU1.
The command variant AXCTSWED(CT1, ...) can be
used to simplify start-up. Under the sole effect of the
active channel, the axis container rotates around the
increment stored in the SD.
