Function and structure of the axis control panel

Description
You traverse individual axes with the axis control panel.
A user program is necessary for the operation of the axis control panel. With the axis control
panel, you take over master control for a technology object and control the movements of the
axis.
Uncontrolled axis motions
During operation with the axis control panel, the axis can execute uncontrolled motions
(e.g. due to erroneous configuration of the drive, or of the technology object). Furthermore,
any synchronized following axis is moved as well when moving a leading axis with the axis
control panel.
Therefore, perform the following protective measures before operation with the axis control
panel:
• Ensure that the EMERGENCY OFF switch is within the reach of the operator.
• Enable the hardware limit switches.
• Enable the software limit switches.
• Ensure that following error monitoring is enabled.
• Make sure that no following axis is coupled to the axis to be moved.
The axis control panel of the speed axis, positioning axis and synchronous axis can be found
in the Project Navigator under "Technology object > Commissioning".
The axis control panel is divided into the following areas:
● Master control
● Axis
● Operating mode
● Modify
● Axis status
● Current values
