MC-Basic:axis.DRIVEENABLE

This property allows direct control over control bit 14. When this bit and bit 15 (DRIVEON) are set to 1, the drive is enabled (if all other conditions for enable are met (e.g., no faults, remote enable is high)). Setting this bit to 0 immediately disables the drive and the motor coasts.

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.
