Description

This command enables or disables the Enable Output on axes that have an Enable Output.

To specify the behavior of the Enable output switch when the Enable Output is enabled, see the Enable Output Behavior topic.

Why Bother?

You can wire the Enable Output to the enable input on a motor drive or hydraulic valve. If an error occurs for which the corresponding Auto Stop is set to Direct Output Halt, the Enable Output will be turned off, and the drive or valve will shut off. This is a good safety precaution if your transducer fails, for example. Use this command to turn the Enable Output back on.
