PMC enters/exits service mode

Description

Use this function block to make the PMC enter/exit service mode. During service mode, motion commands are blocked, but you can:

  • Perform updates

  • Perform system hardware diagnosis

 

Service mode will be exited if the same command is used to exit service mode, or if the PMC is rebooted.

This should not be used as a safety feature!
