Description

This command disables transitions on a position axis. When transitions are disabled, issuing any command that requires a transition will cause a command error, which will halt the axis if the AutoStops are set to do so.

Transitions are useful for starting certain types motion even though the axis is not at the correct starting point. For example, the Curve Start (86), Sine Start (72), and Gear Absolute (25) commands normally require that the axis be at the correct starting point. However, if a transition has been enabled (by issuing the Transition Rate (56) command), then these commands can be issued even though the axis is not at the correct starting point. The axis will transition in the manner requested by the current transition mode. See the Transition Rate (56) command for details.

This command will not affect any transitions that are in progress. When the RMC powers up, transitions are disabled on all axes. To enable transitions, issue the Transition Rate (56) command.
