Title: A axis cancel
Post by: Renatox_ on August 04, 2015, 02:17:36 PM

I am using the code 253 (Jog Axis Inhibit A toogle) to enable or disable the axis A.

It is possible to know if the axis is enabled or canceled? there will be some flag ?.

In a Reset or External Stop can happen over incoordination between Mach and my PLC, for one can be enabled A  axis and for the other canceled.

regards
Renato

Normally there is an associated LED with every function. Look at the LED list if there is one just add the LED to your screenset.

Just curious but WHY would you want to turn off an axis ??

Thansk BR549, this OEM LED is 89 and serve for my macro.

I command brake or No brake of the axis A with macros M40 and M41, they send a signal to the PLC to stop the table hydraulically and must cancel axis movement by software, so if A axis is Jog, mach not send pulses and the driver is not overloaded.
