8.2 Settings for Controller Communication
For the controller to be able to communicate with the Gateway, the settings specified below must be
performed.
(1) Setting the axis number
Set a unique axis number in a range of 0 to 15.
Take note that the range of settable axis numbers varies depending on the operation mode of the
Gateway Unit.
The steps to set an axis number using the PC (software) are explained below. For details, refer to
the operation manual for your PC (software) or teaching pendant.
[1] Connect the PC (software) or teaching pendant to the Gateway Unit, and turn the port switch
ON.
(Note) Link only the target axis via SIO. Specifically, connect only the target axis to the 4-way
junction. When setting an axis number for the next axis, swap the connectors for the
current and next axes.
[2] Start the PC software.
[3] Click Settings (S), and then select Controller Settings.
[4] Click Assign Axis Number (N).
[5] When the axis number assignment table appears, set a desired number.
[6] Click OK, and then press the Esc button.
[7] Swap the SIO link cables to set an axis number for the next axis.
[8] When all axis numbers have been set, connect all axes to the SIO link.
(Note) You can also disconnect only the target axis from the SIO link and connect it to the PC
or teaching pendant via one-on-one connection. (Steps [2] to [6] above are the same.)
