See the Setup section of the Installation and Setup manual for your
motion controller for more information on position lock tolerance.

When Lock_status = 1, Axis_status = 0 if no faults are active and no
motion is being commanded on the axis.

When Lock_status = 0, Axis_status = 1 if no faults are active and no
motion is being commanded on the axis.

Move Status

Move_status is a logical (Boolean) variable which has values of:

1 (true) if the axis is being commanded to move

0 (false) if not

In the Tag Explorer, select both Axis System Variables and the desired
physical or imaginary axis, then select Move_status in the Tag Window.

Moves are initiated by a Move Axis block and stopped by a Stop Motion
block.

When Move_status = 1, Lock_status = 0, and Axis_status = 3 if no faults
are active on the axis.
