The main functions of MyLink in the Axis Module are:
Confirmation of module IDs and communication testing
Verification of relevant IO logic in the axis module and servo motor driver (stepper motor driver), including ALM, INP, EZ, ERC, etc
Confirmation of pulse output and input interfaces in the axis module and servo motor driver (stepper motor driver) – Pulse output/Pulse input (Encoder)
Verification of relevant IO logic on the mechanical equipment, such as EL+/-, ORG, EMG
After completing all settings, confirmation of motor operation through single-axis module control
– Move: Relative / Absolute / Continuous / Home / Home search… – Compare Trigger

MyLink Axis Module Screen Explanation - Display Area
Setting up Single-Axis Groups: (Axis modules must be in the same Ring)
– Step1 : Click on Ring0 or Ring1 in the display area
– Step2: Right-click, and the option “Set Axis Groups…” will appear. Click to enter the setup screen
– Step3 : Click on the individual axis to select the group
– Step4 : After assigning, click OK
– Step5 : After completing the setup, you will see “AxisGroupx table selected.”

3.Information
4.Interface I/O
5.Operation
6.Pulse I/O
1.Auto Compare: Mainly sets the corresponding parameters for the Compare trigger
CompareMethod:
– Comparison Method
– Directionless: No directionality – (Dir+)Signal Output While Counting Up positive direction – (Dir-)Signal Output While Counting Down negative direction
CompareSource:
– Compare Source Setting
– Command
– Encoder
CompareInterval:
– Equidistant Interval Value
– Setting Range1~32767
2.Home Configuration: Mainly setting the corresponding parameters for executing the Home operation
Home Mode: Choose the method of executing Home
– Supported modes include: Mode 0 to Mode 12, a total of 13, please refer to the illustrated explanation in section 3.7.4.1 of the software manual
ORG_Logic: Main Home Signal
– Set ORG logic to be consistent with hardware logic – LowActive / HighActive
EZ_Logic:
– Set EZ logic to be consistent with hardware logic – Home mode: 2~5,7,8,10~12are used for Home
EZ_Count:
– On a servo motor, there is one EZ signal per revolution, while optical rulers typically have only one – Home mode: : 2~5,7,8,10~12 ,use this signal for homing accordingly
ERC_Out:
– Mainly used to select whether to output the ERC signal to the servo drive when homing is completed
ORG_Offset:
– Home_Mode:Values that need to be set when executing the Home search function for modes 0 to 5, 9 to 12. Please refer to the illustration in Section 3.7.4 of the manual. An example is shown below:
3.Information
Primarily used to display information about the operating axis
The content includes Ring, IP, and axis model type
