Description

This command puts the RMC in RUN mode. If the RMC is already in RUN Mode, nothing happens when this command is issued. If the RMC is in PROGRAM mode when this command is issued, the following happens:

The RMC is put into RUN mode.
RMC75/150: All the axes become enabled if they were not previously enabled. This means that the Enabled status bit turns on for each axis, exactly as if the Enable Controller (7) command had been issued.
RMC200: All the axes become enabled if the Auto-Enable Axes option is checked on the RUN/Disabled page of the Programming Properties.

Entering RUN mode will not affect the motion on the axes. The axes will continue doing what they were doing. Motion commands can be issued to an axis whether or not it is in RUN mode.

For details on RUN mode, see the RUN/PROGRAM/Disabled Mode topic.
