Inhibit an Axis
Follow these instructions to determine when to inhibit an axis and how to block
the controller from using an axis.
You want to block the controller from using
an axis because the axis has faulted or is not
installed.
You want to let the controller use the other
axes.
Table 30 - Inhibit Axes
Before you inhibit or uninhibit an axis, turn off all axes. Before you inhibit or uninhibit an axis, be aware that inhibit/uninhibit of an axis will also affect any half axes in the same
drive.
1. Stop all motion in the axis.
2. Use an instruction such as the Motion Servo Off (MSF) for the axis.
This lets you stop motion under your control. Otherwise the axes turn off on their own when you inhibit or uninhibit one
of them.
The controller automatically restarts the connections.
To inhibit the axes, inhibit the communication module. Do you want to inhibit the Integrated Motion on the EtherNet/IP network axes?
• YES—Inhibit the 1756-ENxT communication modules.
• NO—Inhibit the individual axes.
You can inhibit the axes of a module on an individual basis. However, it is more efficient to inhibit all axes at once by
inhibiting the module.
Important: If you inhibit an axis on a drive, you inhibit all action on the drive, including any half axes. Make sure that
you are aware of all action on a drive before inhibiting the axis.

Drives
CIP only connections to the drive with the affected axis
are shut down. Connections and motion on all other
drives axes continue uninterrupted.
