6. COMMAND REFERENCE 153
OFF
Shutdown motor power
Syntax Units Range of ‘n’ Default See also
aOFF - - OFF ON
Description Issuing an OFF command de-energises the drive to shutdown the motor
power. The controller responds to move commands that are issued after an
OFF with *E. If you check the fault variable UF, you will see the ‘Drive
disabled’ bit set to indicate that the drive was de-energised when a move
was attempted.
OFF reduces motor heating and allows manual positioning of the load,
assuming the system mechanics allow this and it is safe to do so.
