In all the Motion Coordinators it is possible to run all axes synchronously. There is no limit.
So in the Euro404 you can run all 4 axes with for example a MOVEABS(x, y, z, a)
In the Euro408 you can run all 8 axes with MOVEABS(x, y, z, a, b, c, d, e)
Linked moves can run all the axes following a master encoder or a virtual line shaft.
For example:
master_axis = 8 ' virtual line shaft
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(0)
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(1)
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(2)
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(3)
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(4)
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(5)
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(6)
MOVELINK(100, 120, 20, 20, master_axis) AXIS(7)
FORWARD AXIS(8)

AN-334 Conversion from EURO205x to EURO 404/408
The Euro 404/408 is the closest controller in the MC4 range to the performance and functionality of the Euro 205X. This document gives the answers to the most asked questions about the upgrade path from Euro 205X to the new Euro 404/408.
MC508 ATYPE, steppers and encoders
To configure the MC508 with 4 encoder + 4 pluse/dir axes, we suggest to set axes 0~3 as encoder, and 4~7 as pulse/direction. If you set the axis 0~7 atype to High density, then 8~15 must also be High density ATYPE as well and with that setting, you ...
How I can create and delete a Virtual Axis?
An axis is Virtual when the ATYPE is 0 and the axis is in the processing schedule. To add an axis to the processing schedule, simply write to any axis parameter. For example UNITS AXIS(20) = 245 will activate the axis and it will become a virtual ...
