This property is used to define the axis mode of operation as simulated or real. In simulated mode, motion commands are not sent to the drives as the axis is not associated with a physical drive. Simulated axes need to be enabled (using <axis>.ENABLE=ON) before a motion command is applied.

0 (Real)
1 (Simulated)


NOTE-Info.svgNOTE
With a simulated axis, if <axis>.feedback is set to external, then all the position properties (Pfb, Pcmd, Pext) are equal, unless positionExternalFactor is not equal to positionFactor.
