When the motor is performing any type of move, motion can be stopped abruptly (ABORT) or with deceleration (STOP).  It is recommended to use decelerated stops so that there is less impact on the system.  If an interpolation operation is in progress when a STOP or ABORT command is entered, all axes involved in the interpolation operation will stop.


The Commander series has an emergency stop (/CEMG) input for dedicated use as an emergency stop signal.  When in operation, if the /CEMG input goes low or the ESTOP command is sent, all axes will stop immediately.  No axis can operate while the /CEMG signal is low.
