Why does my axis reverse direction when I stop and start it?
While an axis is jogging at its target speed, you stop the axis. Before the axis stops
completely, you restart the jog. The axis continues to slow down and then reverse
direction. Eventually, the axis changes direction again and moves in the
programmed direction.
Important:
You should not see this situation in revision 16 and later. See Corrective
action for Revision 16 or later in this section.
Example
You use a Motion Axis Stop (MAS) instruction to stop a jog. While the axis is
slowing down, you use a Motion Axis Jog (MAJ) instruction to start the axis again.
The axis continues to slow down and then moves in the opposite direction.
Eventually, the axis goes back to its programmed direction.
