Interaction with Single-Axis Movements

Each axis of an axis group (including any additional axes) can also be moved with single-axis movements. This does not require the axis to be removed from the axis group. The following rules are used:

  • If the axis group is in the GroupStandby state when a single-axis movement is commanded on one of its axes, then the axis group remains in this state.

    For more information, see the following: Axis Group States

  • If the axis group is in the GroupMoving state when a single-axis movement is commanded on one of its axes, then the axis group switches to the GroupError state. The error SMC_AXIS_GROUP_INTERRUPTED_BY_SINGLE_AXIS is reported and all other axes are stopped.

  • If a movement is commanded on the axis group while a single-axis movement is active on at least one of its axes, then the axis group goes into the GroupError state.
