3.2.216 RAPIDSTOP

fig. 45/i

Type Axis command

Syntax RAPIDSTOP

Description The RAPIDSTOP command cancels the current move on all axes from the

current move buffer (MTYPE). Moves for speed profiled move commands

(MOVE, MOVEABS, MOVEMODIFY, FORWARD, REVERSE, MOVECIRC

and MHELICAL) will decelerate to a stop with the deceleration rate as set by

the DECEL parameter. Moves for other commands will be immediately

stopped.

Notes:

• RAPIDSTOP cancels only the presently executing moves. If further

moves are buffered in the next move buffers (NTYPE) or the task buffers

they will then be loaded.

• During the deceleration of the current moves additional RAPIDSTOPs

will be ignored.

Arguments N/A

Example This example shows the implementation of a stop override button that cuts

out all motion.
