THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD TUTORIALS

[@ShaneWelcher]

Glad I could help

Very helpful when troubleshooting a servo issue, vs a program issue.

[@ShaneWelcher]

Thanks, I agree

Hey Shane, where is the drive enable input checking for studio 5000 firmware 21.11? The axis properties doesn’t have a drive/motor tab. It must be hidden somewhere else possibly? Thanks for the help and the video

[@ShaneWelcher]

Are you using a real servo drive axis? Or a just a axis that is not for a motor?

[@traviscoleman9520]

Real axis. Not a virtual.

@@ShaneWelcher so the motor does have a brake but I fear with how much stopping and starting its doing, I might create a new problem by engaging and disengaging the brake.

@@danekline7913 You should not have any motor issues with a MAS with a servo that has a brake
