Axis Status Registers Overview

The Status Registers provide information on the status of each axis. These registers are not editable; they are read-only. Each Register is a 32-bit word. The Status Registers are axis dependant. Each group listed below contains Status Registers for the specified axes. For details on the addressing format for the registers, see the Register Address Format topic.

For a list of the Status Registers, see the Register Maps.

Tag Names

Tag names for axis status and parameter registers can be referenced in two ways as shown below. To change the format of already existing axis tags, or to change tag name preferences, see Programming Properties:

By axis number:

Use the format _Axis[x].reg, where x specifies the axis number and reg is the tag name for that register.

Example: _Axis[2].ActPos is the Actual Position of Axis 2.

If the brackets are left empty, such as _Axis[].ActPos, the axis is the current axis for the current task. See the Tasks topic for more details.
By axis name:

If the axis has a name, you can reference it directly as AxisName.reg.

Example: MyAxisName.ActPos is the Actual Position of the axis named MyAxisName.
