Compatibility: All drives
See also:
BD, BO, MD commands
Restores drive current to motor. If the drive cannot be enabled due to the Enable Input (SI) state, the drive will
respond with a “&” which indicates that the drive could not be enabled. Enabling the drive also deactivates the
Brake Output function (see BO command). Enabling of the motor is delayed by the BD (Brake Disengage) time
delay.
WARNING: This command restores the previous mode of operation. If for example the drive is operating
in Analog Velocity mode the motor may immediately start moving. External inputs to the drive must be
sequenced properly to avoid unpredictable operation.
