EO – Axis Enable Status
Read/Write command that returns/sets the enable status of all axes (1-4) at once or return/sets status individually.
Applies to: CMD-4CR, CMD-4EX-SA, PMX-4EX-SA, PMX-4ET-SA, PMX-2ED-SA, PMX-2EX
ASCII/Standalone EO Return/sets status for all axes
EO[1-4] Return/sets status for an axis individually
Syntax:
All axis at once
Read: EO
Write: EO=[value]
|
Where: [value] is an integer [(0-3) for 2-axis, (0-15) for 4-axis] that represents the bit configuration of the enable outputs. See table in the Notes section for more details. |
Each axis individually:
Applies to: CMD-4CR, CMD-4EX-SA, PMX-4EX-SA, PMX-4ET-SA
Read: EO[1-4]
|
Where: [1-4] specifies the axis (1 = X, 2 = Y, 3 = Z, 4 = U) |
Write: EO[1-4]=[value]
EO=[value]
|
Where: [1-4] specifies the axis (1 = X, 2 = Y, 3 = Z, 4 = U) [value] indicates/sets the enable status (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled) |
Applies to: PMX-2ED-SA, PMX-2EX
Read: EO[1-2]
|
Where: [1-2] specifies the axis (1 = X, 2 = Y) |
Write: EO[1-2]=[value]
|
Where: [1-2] specifies the axis (1 = X, 2 = Y) [value] indicates/sets the enable status (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled) |
Reply:
Command is accepted and executed
Read:
EO returns an integer [(0-3) for 2-axis, (0-15) for 4-axis] that represents the bit configuration of the enable outputs.
EO[1-4] returns the status of a single enable, With a value of 1 indicating on, and 0 off.
Write:
OK
Command cannot be processed
An error message is returned. See Error Codes
Example:
Read:
EO * Returns enable status for all axes
Ex. Return a value of 9, or binary 1001, indicates axes X and U are enabled, 2 and 3 are disabled.
EO3 * Returns the status of Z-axis enable
Write:
EO4=1 * Enables U axis
EO=11 * Since 11 is binary 1011, axes X, Y, and U are enabled, Z-axis is disabled.
Notes:
- It is strongly recommended not to disable any axis while moving.

- While the EO command can be used to enable or disable the current to the motor, the effect of the enable output signals will depend on the characteristics of the motor drive.
