Stop Motion

287

resets all servo outputs to zero

deactivates all drive enable outputs

disables the CPU Watchdog

aborts the program.

Use this block only in an emergency situation when the motion controller
must be disabled quickly.

Note: The stopping rate of the axes depends on the type of amplifier and

the specific connections utilized, because the motion controller
no longer controls the axes after this block executes.

To re-enable the CPU Watchdog again, after executing a Stop Motion
block, cycle power to the motion controller or press the front panel
RESET button.

Stopping All Motion

When you select Stop All, all motion caused by any previous Move Axis,
Home Axis, Jog Axis, Gear Axes, Position Lock Cam, Time Lock Cam
and/or Interpolate Axes block stops simultaneously, bringing the axis/
axes to rest. If the specified axis is interpolating, the appropriate
interpolator is stopped. This causes interpolated motion, on all axes
commanded by the appropriate interpolator, to stop at the accelerate/
decelerate rate specified in the Interpolate Axes block that initiated the
motion.
