80 ● EN DMC-1400 Series Command Reference

FUNCTION: End

DESCRIPTION:

The EN command is used to designate the end of a program or subroutine. If a subroutine

was called by the JS command, the EN command ends the subroutine and returns

program flow to the point just after the JS command.

The EN command is also used to end the automatic subroutines #MCTIME, #CMDERR, and

#COMINT. When the EN command is used to terminate the #COMINT communications

interrupt subroutine, there are two arguments; the first determines whether trippoints will

be restored upon completion of the subroutine and the second determines whether the

communication interrupt will be re-enabled.

ARGUMENTS: EN m, n

m=0 Return from subroutines without restoring trippoint

m=1 Return from #COMINT and restore trippoint

n=0 Return from #COMINT without restoring interrupt

n=1 Return from #COMINT and restore interrupt

Note 1: The default values for the arguments are 0. For example EN,1 and EN0,1 have the

same effect.

Note 2: Trippoints cause a program to wait for a particular event. The AM command, for

example, waits for motion on all axes to complete. If the #COMINT subroutine is

executed due to a communication interrupt while the program is waiting for a trippoint,

the #COMINT can end by continuing to wait for the trippoint as if nothing happened, or

clear the trippoint and continue executing the program at the command just after the

trippoint. The EN arguments will specify how the #COMINT routine handles trippoints.

Note 3: Use the RE command to return from the interrupt handling subroutines #LIMSWI

and #POSERR. Use the RI command to return from the #ININT subroutine.
