<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello ctdtm,<br/> DS402 is a standard where you can find more different "mode of operation", like CSP, CSV, CST, PV, PP, Interpolation, HOMING and so on.<br/> When you try to realize a CNC, you want to realize a system, not the single axis. </p> <p>So, in a CNC system you can use more axes, with AXIS_REF_SM3 structure, and command their by CSP, I think.<br/> In other words, yuo have to interpolate different profile with smc_interpolator, then you assign at your axes a position profile (cyclic synchronous).</p> <p>I hope this information help you.</p> <p>Regards!<br/> conoscenza</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Are the CNC libraries compatible with the CiA402 profile (aka DS402)? I understand that I can perform basic SoftMotion using the single axis PLCOpen motion function blocks on a network like EtherCAT via the DS402 profile, but can I also use CNC motion blocks on DS402? Or is there some reason why the <br/> DS402 cannot be used with CNC?</p> <p>Also, is a CNC axis defined using the same AXIS_REF_SM3, or is it a different kind of datatype altogether. If it is different, is a CNC axis an extension of AXIS_REF_SM3?</p> <p>Thank you for your help.</p></div>
