Stop

The Stop command instructs the axis to decelerate to a complete stop.

Description
Command Tags
O.Axisxx.Command_Stop
BOOL
Indicates that the axis is to perform the Stop command.
O.Axisxx.HardStop
BOOL
Determines whether the axis performs a hard stop (immediate) or a smooth stop (controlled deceleration).
TIP: When the axis is moving with a heavy load and a hard Stop command is applied, the axis might move additional steps before it becomes stationary. You might require to perform a Home command again.
Status Tags
I.Axisxx.CommandActive
BOOL
This tag is set when axis is decelerating and cleared when the axis becomes stationary.

Smooth Stop

When the axis receives a smooth Stop command, it decelerates to zero speed at the rate that is defined in the tags (C.Axisxx.JogAccel, C.Axisxx.HomeAccel, O.Axisxx.Decel, and O.Axisxx.Accel) and then stops.

Hard Stop

When the axis receives a hard Stop command, it stops immediately.
If the axis is moving with a heavy load when a hard Stop command is received, the axis may move additional steps before it completely stops. The axis's I.Axisxx.PositionValid tag is not cleared automatically. In this scenario, we recommend that you perform the Home command again.
