SoftwareEmergencyStopInput Parameter
Default Value: 0
Minimum Value: 0
Maximum Value: None
Units: None
Type: int
IMPORTANT: The controller generates an axis fault only if you set the corresponding bit in the FaultMask Parameter. When an axis fault is generated, you can configure what the axis does by changing the state of the corresponding bit in the FaultMaskDecel Parameter, the FaultMaskDisable Parameter, and the FaultMaskDisableDelay Parameter.
Use the SoftwareEmergencyStopInput parameter to specify a digital binary input to be used as a software ESTOP for the system.
The SoftwareEmergencyStopInput parameter specifies a system wide input bit to be used as the ESTOP input and is scanned at the SMC task level. This method is approximately 5 milliseconds slower than the EmergencyStopFaultInput drive method but supplies more choices for the input signal. For more information, refer to EmergencyStopFaultInput Parameter.
To disable the ESTOP, set the Input Type to Disabled.
The input is active low for fail-safe operation.
