Host Command Reference
AX - Alarm Reset (Buffered)
Compatibility: All drives
Affects:
Alarm Code
See also: AR, ME, OF, WT Commands
Clears Alarms and Drive Faults. This command functions the same as AR (Alarm Reset) but is a Buffered type
command.
Typically used in conjunction with OF within a Q program. Please note that while immediately executing AX will
clear the alarm code, it does not guarantee that the condition that caused the alarm has been resolved. Therefore
it is recommended to include a short delay or wait for user input before clearing the alarm and resuming normal
operation.
In addition to clearing alarms and faults, the AX command resets the LED blink timer. As such, if the AX
command is used within a tight loop in a Q program, the LED may actually appear to be solid green.
NOTE: Does not re-enable the drive. Use ME (Motor Enable) command to re-enable drive.
