MC-Basic:axis.DRIVEON

This property allows direct control over control bit 15. When this bit and bit 14 (DRIVEENABLE) are set to 1, the drive is enabled (if all other conditions for enable are met (e.g., no faults, remote enable is high)). This bit set to 0 results in an active disable on the drive (the drive stops the motor and then disable itself). Direct use of this bit is usually not necessary. Use the <axis>.ENABLE property to enable and disable the drive. A query of this property returns the state of this request and not the state of the drive.
