Profile.#.Feedhold
The Profile.#.Feedhold Destination acts the same as Feedhold listed above, however this destination will Feedhold only the motion
on a single profile rather than all motion. The profile on which to feedhold motion is specified in the instance segment (# is replaced
by 0 or 1 for Profile 0 or Profile 1 respectively).
Profile.#.MotionStop
The Profile.#.MotionStop Destination acts the same as MotionStop listed above, however this destination will stop only the motion on
a single profile rather than all motion. The profile on which to stop motion is specified in the instance segment (# is replaced by 0 or
1 for Profile 0 or Profile 1 respectively).
10.2.2 From Programs
Following are the instruction used to stop the various motion types within a user program.
Jog.Stop
The Jog.Stop command is used to stop any jogging motion that is currently active. This command will stop either Jog 0 or Jog 1
without specifying which one to stop.
If jog is active on the alternate profile (Profile 1), then the On Profile.1 modifier must be added to the Jog.Stop command.
If this instruction is used while gear motion is not active, it will be ignored, and the program will move to the next instruction.
Gear.Stop
The Gear.Stop command is used to stop gearing motion that is active.
If gear is active on the alternate profile (Profile 1), then the On Profile.1 modifier must be added to the Gear.Stop command.
If this instruction is used while gear motion is not active, it will be ignored, and the program will move to the next instruction.
Stop
The Stop command can be used in a program to stop all programs and motion that are active at that time. To use this command,
Stop must be set equal to ON to activate it (i.e. Stop = ON). This presents a bit of a problem since the program that turns the stop on
will also stop, and then there is no way to deactivate the stop. If Stop is activated from a program, it is necessary to create an
Assignment to clear the Stop function.
Programs and motion will be prevented from initiating while Stop is active.
Feedhold
The Feedhold instruction functions identically in a program as it does from an assignment. To activate Feedhold from a program, it
must be set equal to ON. Feedhold will remain active until it is deactivated from a program (Feedhold = OFF). See Feedhold from
Assignments above for further details.
Profile.#.Feedhold
The Profile.#.Feedhold instruction functions identically in a program as it does from an assignment. To activate Profile.#.Feedhold
from a program, it must be set equal to ON. Feedhold will remain active on the specified profile until it is deactivated from a program
(Profile.#.Feedhold = OFF). See Profile.#.Feedhold from Assignments above for further details.
Profile.#.ProfileStop
The Profile.#.ProfileStop instruction in a program acts much the same as the Profile.#.MotionStop assignment. When the
Profile.#.ProfileStop instruction is processed, any motion on the specified profile is stopped using the stop deceleration ramp. This
instruction acts like an edge sensitive instruction, therefore after the active motion is stopped, any motion can again be started on the
profile. Profile.#.ProfileStop does not prevent then next motion from starting.
10.2.3 From PowerTools Pro
Motion can be stopped while online with PowerTools Pro in a number of different ways. Following is a list of ways to stop motion
while online with the device.
Stop All - Main Toolbar
The Stop All button on the PowerTools Pro toolbar can be used to stop all motion and programs that are active. The Stop All can be
toggled on and off from the toolbar. Click the button once to toggle the Stop on. Motion will be prevented from running until the button
is clicked again.
Feedhold
The Feedhold button on the PowerTools Pro toolbar can be used to Feedhold all motion that is currently active. The button toggles
on and off each time it is clicked. Click the button once to activate Feedhold then click it a second time to deactivate Feedhold.
Stop All - Program Toolbar
Motion and Programs can also be stopped from the Program Toolbar using the Stop All button. This button is like an edge sensitive
function that will not prevent motion or programs from being initiated again.
Pause/Break Key
When online it is possible to stop any motion pr program from the keyboard on your PC by pressing the Pause/Break key. Pressing
Pause/Break is identical to clicking the Stop All button on the PowerTools Pro toolbar. Once motion has been stopped using the
Pause/Break key on the keyboard, it is necessary to press the Pause/Break key a again to allow motion.
