MLPNAxisCreate

 Function - Creates a new axis object.

Inputs

Input	Data Type	Range	Unit	Default	Description
Name	STRING	No range	N/A	No default	Name of the created Axis.
DriverName	STRING	No range	N/A	No default	Is the Motion bus driver name or Simulated.
DriveAxisNumber	UINT	1 to 256	N/A	No default	This one-based number specifies the axis on the drive. For a single-axis drive, this number should be 1.
Address	DINT	No range	N/A	No default	Axis motion bus address.

Outputs

Output	Data Type	Range	Unit	Description
ID	DINT	0 to 1024	N/A	Returns the ID of the newly created axis object or 0 if the function failed.

Remarks

• The ID of the axis object returns 0 (zero) when the number of axes created in the application has reached the maximum permitted for the controller model.
  • In this function, the ID is set to 0 (zero) when the number of axes created in the application has already reached the maximum permitted for the controller model.
    • When this axis limit is exceeded, the controller generates error E45.
      • This error is shown on the 7-segment display and on the Diagnostics tab of the Web server.
    • See E45 for an explanation and recommended corrective actions.
  • The maximum axis count specified for each controller model applies only to physical axes.
    • This includes both PLCopen and Pipe Network axes.
  • This limit does not apply to virtual axis or digitizing axis.

• 
  

• This function should be called after MLMotionInit is called and before MLMotionStart is called.
