At a Glance

The Motion directory of the structural view of the project allows you to access the declaration and configuration of the servodrives.

When declaring a servodrive, various information is required, such as:

  • the name given to the servodrive

  • the type of servodrive

  • the CANopen address of the servodrive

  • the reference of the servodrive

  • the version of the servodrive

  • the input of variable names associated to the axis.

The following diagram shows an example of a tree structure for the Motion directory:

In this diagram, the name given to the servodrive is ‘Axis_Z’.

A recipe is linked, by default, each time an axis is created. It is possible to create several recipes.
