14.5.3 Configuration within the Device Softmotion Editor
Depending on the specific type of the device the associated Device Softmotion Editor
will include different tabs for its configuration. You will find described in detail those
that are part of the basic equipment of the Softmotion Editor:
• Softmotion Drive: Basic
• Softmotion Drive: Scaling/Mapping
• Status
• Information
Softmotion Drive: Basic
The first tab of the Device Softmotion Editor provides several boxes for the
configuration of the basic settings for the inserted device.

axis type and limits:
virtual mode: If you activate the checkbox "virtual mode", the drive will be replaced by
a simulation similar to a virtual drive device. Consequently this checkbox will always
be activated for virtual drives. In case of connected drive devices this has no influence
on the field bus devices that will work as usual, but without receiving messages from
or sending messages to the real device.
You may chose between two types of axis: linear or rotatory (modulo). Depending on
this choice the small box on the right will be entitled
• software limits (possible setting for linear drives): activate the checkbox, if you
want to limit the position values by a lower (negative) or upper (positive) bound.
• modulo settings (obligatory setting for rotatory drives): you have to define the
modulo range.
limits for CNC (SMC_ControlAxisBy) :
in this sector you may define limit values (for velocity, acceleration and deceleration)
used by the library modules SMC_ControlAxisBy* in order to detect jumps (for
example SMC_ControlAxisByPos).
