PMAC Axis - PMACs have two types of axes, physical and logical. The number of physical axes are based on the options purchased with the PMAC. Typical numbers are 4, 8 and 12. These physical axes have a relation to software; the hardware registers and memory are mapped into specific PMAC addresses. A logical axis is a definition used by the PMAC to specify a geometric axis of movement to a PMAC motor number. An example of a physical and logical axis definition is as follows. The left azimuth motor is assigned to PMAC Motor #1, PMAC physical axes 1 and 2, and PMAC logical axis X in coordinate system 1. The assignment looks like this: &1 #1-11650.844444X
