6.3.3 Setting the drive enable output
A drive enable output allows NextMove ES 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 error output (see section 4.4.3). If the NextMove ES is connected to a Baldor backplane with
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 yellow High and Low icons. These describe how the output should behave when activated (to enable the axis).
3.If you are going to use the error output, 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. In this example, OUT1 is being used. The icon’s color will change to bright blue.
4.If you are going to use
the error output, drag the Relay0 icon to the grey Drive Enable OP icon on the right of the screen.
Note: The error output is represented by the Relay0 icon. This is because the error output always controls a relay when the NextMove ES is used in conjunction with an
To configure multiple axes to use the error output, repeat this step for the other axes.
