The MDAC link is broken when the following instructions are executed on the
slave axis:
• MAS (All), MCS (All), MGS, MASD, MCSD, MGSD, a mode change.
• The MAS (anything other than All) and MCS (coordinated) do not break
the MDAC link.
A mode change (Rem Run to Rem Prog or Rem Prog to Rem Run) or an axis fault
also breaks the MDAC link.
For information on the MDCC instruction and the other coordinate instructions,
see the Coordinate System User Manual, publication MOTION-UM002.

broken.
