General Motion Enable Lost

What does GENERAL MOTION ENABLE mean?

The robot's general motion enable signal has been lost, indicating that the drives have been switched off by the higher-level controller. This state stops all robot drives and inhibits all active commands, preventing any further robot movement until the condition is resolved.

• The higher-level controller (PLC) has explicitly de-energized the robot drives.
• The $MOVE_ENABLE signal from the higher-level controller is set to FALSE.
• Interruption or loss of communication for the motion enable signal.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Verify the status of the $MOVE_ENABLE signal from the higher-level controller (e.g., PLC output) and ensure it is TRUE.

2. 2

   Reset the "GENERAL MOTION ENABLE" message on the smartPAD's message window.

3. 3

   Send a new external start signal from the higher-level controller to re-enable robot motion.
