Description Issuing an OFF command de-energises the drive to shutdown the motor
power. The controller responds to move commands that are issued after an
OFF with *E. If you check the fault variable UF, you will see the Drive
disabled bit set to indicate that the drive was de-energised when a move
was attempted.
OFF reduces motor heating and allows manual positioning of the load,
assuming the system mechanics allow this and it is safe to do so.
Properties Immediate or buffered, can be used in labelled block, saved by SV
