Description
Auto Stops are Halts that are defined to occur automatically on rising edges of the axis'
error bits. The user has control over which error bits cause which levels of halts, or
whether an error will cause a halt at all. The default setting of all the Auto Stops is Direct
Output Halt. This means that when an error bit turns on, the axis will receive a Direct
Output halt.
During startup and tuning, you will typically need to set some Auto Stops to Status Only
to keep halts from interfering with the tuning. After completing the startup procedure,
make sure to set the Auto Stops to setting that are safe for the machine operation.
Auto Stops are always active unless the axis is in the Direct Output state (whether it was
caused the Direct Output (9) command, or a halt), in which case no Auto Stops will be
triggered even though error bits may be set.
Note: Auto Stops will not occur if the axis is in Direct Output (as indicated by the Direct
Output Status bit)!
Each Auto Stop may be configured to one of the following levels:
Level Action
Status Only No action is taken.
Note:
The No Transducer Auto Stop cannot be set to Status Only.
The Transducer Overflow Auto Stop cannot be set to Status
Only for certain feedback types.
External Halt An External Halt is initiated. An External Halt only sets the
External Halt status bit. No other action is taken.
Closed Loop Halt If the axis is currently in Position or Velocity Closed Loop
Control, then a Closed Loop Halt is initiated, otherwise an
Open Loop Halt is initiated.
Note:
The No Transducer, and Noise Error Auto Stop bits cannot
be set to Closed Loop Halt. The Transducer Overflow Auto
Stop cannot be set to Closed Loop Halt for certain feedback
types.
Open Loop Halt An Open Loop Halt is initiated.
