External Axis Wizard Guide/Usage

Hello,

Is there a guide for the external axis wizard (EAW)?

I’m currently trying to get a robot to work with an external axis but I can’t get it to work. I’ve attached the first error message to this post.

As a small side question: Does RS save your station each time you restart the VC?

Thanks in advance,

Leo

Hi WindesheimStudent,

You need to add drive unit for each additional axes you use.

I created a movie that shows how to add the drive units, see below:

Ah yes. Thank you for your quick and elaborate response!

Hi
You need to add a drive module to the controller using system builder.
