Specification

The Axes file contains the details of the Axes

No	Name	Example	Format	Notes
1	Axis Name	X	string	The Axes are standardised with numbers and names. This ensures standardisation and compatibility across machine types See Axis Naming Standards
2	Axis Id	4	numeric
3	Enabled	1	numeric	0- Axis Disabled 1 - Axis Enabled
4	Type	1	numeric	Axis Type. Changes how the system deals with homing sequences 0 - off 1 - servo 2 - stepper 3 - virtual
5	Scaling Factor	32727.430	float	Calibration factor in units per mm or degree
6	Reverse	1	numeric	Use to switch which direction is +ve Determined by Manufacturer of the drive system Mounting location of motor Handing of the machine 0 - Standard Direction 1 - Reverse axis direction
7	Maximum Speed	2000	numeric	in mms-1
8	Maximum Acceleration	3000	numeric	in mms-2
9	Maximum Deceleration	6000	numeric	in mms-2
10	Datum Offset	490.4	float	Distance from the physical axis homing point to datum zero point
11	Move to position after datum	100.0	float	Following a home sequence, this determines where the axis move to A start position
12	Home Input IO Reference	InC_GXHome	string	IO Reference code for the home input See Mul File Specification - ioDef
13	Datum Sequence Type	0	numeric	Used On Nextmove systems only, NOT Beckhoff 0 1 Back-off target. Defines the target for the back-off phase: 0 = Back-off to home input 1 = Back-off to home input and next index pulse 1 2 Initial seek direction. Determines the direction of the initial seek phase: 0 = Negative 1 = Positive 2 4 Initial seek target. Defines the target for the initial seek phase: 0 = Home input 1 = Index pulse
