A.2. Confirm enable status via HMI
When the light of “Hardware enable input” in the HMI main window is green, it indicates that
the drive has received a hardware enable signal from the host controller, as shown in Fig. A-2.

Usually, the motor enable is controlled by the “Axis Enable” signal sent from the host
controller to the drive’s input pin. When HMI is turned on, following items must be noticed.
(1) When Lightening is a valid window on the computer, the F12 key can be pressed to
disable the motor at any time. Usually, it is useful in the emergency situation.
(2) When the performance center in Lightening is turned on, the “Disable” button (same
as F12) can be pressed to disable the motor. Click the “Enable” button on the window
to enable the motor again (but only if the “Hardware enable input” light is still green).
