Axis replacement (RELEASE, GET)

Function
For a tool change, the corresponding command axes can be requested as an action of a
synchronized action using GET(axis). The axis type assigned to this channel and the
interpolation right thus linked to this time can be queried using the $AA_AXCHANGE_TYPE
system variable. Different processes are possible depending on the actual status and on the
channel having the current interpolation right for this axis.
Once the tool change is complete, this command axis can then be released for the channel
as an action of a synchronized action using RELEASE(axis).
Machine manufacturer
The axis concerned must be assigned to the channel via machine data. Please refer to the
machine manufacturer's specifications.
