, or even as

, if the entire link is broken.
Caution
Caution
In some cases
the communication between the
Axis Monitor
and the drive could be sus-
pended. In these cases, the axis state is probably not reflected correctly. Check the registers
General.Signals.DriveState
and
Axes[].Signals.General.AxisState
instead or restart
TAM Sys-
tem Explorer
(
File > Restart
).
The axis monitor also provides two emergency buttons:
Emergency switch off
: All power sections will switch off immediately if this button is
pressed. The axes are then released and may move until the kinetic or potential energy is
dissipated. Pressing the emergency button will cause an external error which has to be reset
e.g. by pressing the
Acknowledge Errors
button.
Emergency Stop
: If emergency stop is pressed, the path planner will issue a stop move
based on the emergency parameters. This brings all active axis to a halt. The axes will remain
enabled.
Caution
Caution
Switching off the power section of a drive during motion may damage the mechanical axis.
1 Communication is suspended after a soft reboot of a drive with persistent link address observed via Tria-Link, or after an initialize of
the Tria-Link executed by another control system.
