Motion State Instructions 
 
  Rockwell Automation Publication MOTION-RM002H-EN-P-February 2018  47 
Description 
The MASR instruction clears all axis faults and takes the specified axis out of the 
Shutdown state. If the motion module supports an OK contact, and no other 
module axis is in the Shutdown state, the MASR instruction results in closure of 
the module’s OK solid-state relay contact. Regardless of the OK contact 
condition, execution of the MASR places the axis into the Axis Ready state. 
Just as the Motion Axis Shutdown (MASD) instruction forces the targeted axis 
into the Shutdown state, the MASR instruction takes the axis out of the 
Shutdown state into the Axis Ready state. One of the unique characteristics of the 
Shutdown state is that any associated OK solid state relay contact for the motion 
module is Open. If, as a result of an MASR instruction there are no axes associated 
with a given motion module in the Shutdown state, the OK relay contacts close as 
a result of the MASR. This feature can be used to close the E-Stop string that 
controls main power to the drive system and, thus, permit the customer to reapply 
power to the drive. Note that there is typically only one OK contact per motion 
module which means that execution of the MASR instruction may be required for 
all axes associated with a given module for the OK contact to close. 
The MASR instruction is a procedure type command that is processed from the 
Logix controller, through the associated motion module, and to the associated 
drives.   
Important: 
The instruction execution may take multiple scans to execute because it 
requires multiple coarse updates to complete the request. The Done (.DN) 
bit is not set immediately, but only after the request is completed. 
In this transitional instruction, the relay ladder, toggle the rung-condition-in from 
cleared to set each time the instruction should execute.
