Take into
account initially
how many axis
your system will
have
If the Axis Operating Output Memory Area is set
to WR 0 then Axis 1 will use WR0.00-W24.00
WR0.03 used to set Absolute Movement
of the NCF
Axis Operating Output Memory Area Allocation
WR0.09 Jog Command (need to Speed Command Set)
Axis Operating Output Memory Area Allocation
Initially you need to do a Servo Lock WR1.00
Axis Operating Output Memory Area Allocation
Positioning Command WR2,WR3
If the Axis Operating Input Memory Area is set to WR 150
then Axis 1 will use WR150.00-W174.00
