AX - Alarm Reset (Buffered)

Compatibility: All drives

Affects: Alarm Code

See also: AR, ME, OF, WT Commands

Clears Alarms and Drive Faults. This command functions the same as AR (Alarm Reset) but is a Buffered type command.

Typically used in conjunction with OF within a Q program. Please note that while immediately executing AX will clear the alarm

code, it does not guarantee that the condition that caused the alarm has been resolved. Therefore it is recommended to include a

short delay or wait for user input before clearing the alarm and resuming normal operation.

In addition to clearing alarms and faults, the AX command resets the LED blink timer. As such, if the AX command is used within a

tight loop in a Q program, the LED may actually appear to be solid green.

NOTE: Does not re-enable the drive. Use ME (Motor Enable) command to re-enable drive.
