Troubleshooting:
Motion Supervisor and Axes Mapping

MS is a Host-based Object

Problem

When running multiple applications such as a C-code application and Motion Console, you might encounter unexpected behavior where actions meant to be performed on one axis are actually performed on a different axis.

Background

A common mistake when running multiple applications on a host system is having inconsistent axes mapping on a motion supervisor. Since the Motion Supervisor is a host-based object, a Motion Supervisor's axes mapping will only be loaded onto the controller when the application runs and an action is performed.
