Re: [Emc-users] AXIS Power Button

Actually, it doesn't enable the interface - that's a side effect ;) EMC2 has three states of being (some poorly named, but I won't get into that): 1) ESTOP - EMC2 will not command any motion, and it holds its e-stop output asserted. 2) ESTOP-Reset - EMC2 will not command any motion, but it does not assert the e-stop output. 3) Machine On - in this state, the machine is expected to be able to perform motion, and EMC2 will operate normally Pressing F1 or the EStop button toggles from ESTOP to ESTOP-Reset Pressing F2 or the power on button toggles from ESTOP-Reset to Machine On, or has no effect if the machine is in ESTOP I think there's more information on estop and machine modes, but this should be a close enough approximation for now :) - Steve Kirk Wallace - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Kirk Wallace I think http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?MazakPowerOnOff esplains it: ... snip When the user clicks the GUI Machine On button (or hits F2), the logic should check other conditions such as hydraulic pressure, lube level, spindle drive ready, servo drive ready, etc, then enable amps and begin running. When the user clicks the GUI Machine OFF button (or hits F2), the logic should disable the servo amps. ... snip - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
