5.4.3 Setting the drive enable output
The drive enable output allows NextMove PCI-2 to enable the external drive amplifier to allow
motion, or disable it in the event of an error. Each axis can be configured with its own drive
enable output, or can share an output with other axes. If an output is shared, an error on any
of the axes sharing the output will cause all of them to be disabled.
The drive enable output can either be a digital output or the relay .
1. In the Toolbox, click the Digital I/O icon.
2. At the bottom of the Digital I/O screen, click
the Digital Outputs tab.
The left of the screen shows a column of
yellow icons - High, Low, Rising, Falling and
Rise/Fall. These describe how the output
should behave when activated (to enable the
axis).
3. If you are going to use the relay, ignore this
step and go straight to step 4.
If you are going to use a digital output, drag
the appropriate yellow icon to the grey OUT
icon that will be used as the drive enable
output. Its color will change to bright blue.
