Motion Instructions 265

At the top of the dialog, in the title bar, there is a number at the end of the axis
or group that the command is being applied upon. This is the Instance
reference number. This number increases by one every time a command is
accessed for that axis or group. The number is cleared when you execute
RSLogix.

Located at the bottom of the dialog are the following buttons: Motion Group
Shutdown, Execute, Close, and Help.

Motion Group Shutdown Button

The Motion Group Shutdown button is located to the left of the screen to
avoid accidental invoking of this command when you really want to execute
the command accessed from the Command tree. Clicking on this button
causes the Motion Group Shutdown instruction to execute. If you click on the
Motion Group Shutdown button and it is successfully executed, a Result
message is displayed in the results window below the dialog. Since the use of
this button is an abrupt means of stopping motion, an additional message is
displayed in the error text field. The message "MOTION GROUP
SHUTDOWN executed!" is displayed with the intention of giving greater
awareness of the execution of this command. If the command fails then an
error is indicated as per normal operation. (See Error Conditions later in this
chapter.)

There is space above the Motion Group Shutdown button and below the line
where status text is displayed when a command is executed.

Execute Button

Clicking the Execute button verifies the operands and initiates the current
Motion Direct Command. Verification and error messages display as the

Close Button

To end a Motion Direct Command session, click on the Close button. The
data is not saved and the command is not executed. It acts the same as a
Cancel button.

Help Button

Click on the Help button to access the on-line Help.
