Commanded Axes

As described in Event Control Overview, each event step contains a command and a link section. The command, by default is issued only to the axis running the event sequence. In this case, the Commanded Axes field will display "Default."

With RMC CPU firmware dated 19980414 or later, this field can be changed to select one or more specific axes to receive the command. There are three ways of changing this field:

Type directly in the Commanded Axes field. Enter the axes numbers separated by spaces or commas, and use a hyphen (-) to indicate a range of axes (e.g. the first four axes are indicated by 0-3; the second and fourth axes are indicated by 1,3; etc.).
Use the Commanded Axes popup editor. See Using Popup Editors for details on opening the editor. Once the editor is open, either click Use axis running event sequence, or click Use axes selected below and check the boxes next to the names of the axes you want to command.
With most communication types, you can change the event steps from the programmable controller. Refer to the section of the communication type you are using for details on changing event steps. The Commanded Axes field is stored in the most significant byte of the Command field. See Command/Commanded Axes for a bit map.
