OE
FUNCTION: Off On Error
DESCRIPTION:
The OE command causes the controller to shut off the motor command if a position error TE
exceeds the limit specified by the ER command, an abort occurs from either the abort input or
on AB command, or a limit switch is tripped.
If a position error is detected on an axis, and the motion was executing an independent move, only
that axis will be shut off. If the motion is a part of coordinated mode of the types VM, LM or
CM, all participating axes will be stopped.
