Overview

Each axis represents a servo motor that can be controlled by WMX3.

Each axis is identified by an axis number between 0 and maxAxes-1. All platforms, including the simulator platform, share the same set of axis numbers. No two axes in the entire system can share the same axis number.

The axis number of each axis can be defined using the UserDef option in the network define file. If the axis number is not defined for an axis, the smallest unused axis number is automatically assigned when starting communication with the network. Automatic assignment of axis numbers occur in the order that the networks are defined in Module.ini and in the order that the axis is connected to the network. Also see Masters for an explanation of how axis numbers are automatically assigned this way.
