What is the purpose of the Motion Axis Shutdown (MASD) and Motion Axis Shutdown Reset (MASR) instructions in Rockwells Studio Ladder Logic Designer?

Learn the purpose and usage of MASD and MASR instructions in Rockwell's Studio 5000 Logic Designer.

In this video, Henry Gilliland, a Mechatronic Specialist, explains the purpose and usage of the MASD (Motion Axis Shutdown) and MASR (Motion Axis Shutdown Reset) instructions in Rockwell's Studio 5000 Ladder Logic Designer. He demonstrates how the MASD command transitions an axis into shutdown mode, disabling the drive output and deactivating the servo loop, while the MASR command resets the shutdown state and clears faults. He also highlights other potential triggers for the shutdown state, including fault actions and parameter limit violations.
