DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The OFF command turns off the power to the motor coils and terminates the activity of the
current motion mode. The motor off system flag, Bo, will be set to 1. The shaft will be free to
coast to a stop or rotated by other external means. The trajectory in progress system flag, Bt,
will be set to zero.
NOTE: When commanded OFF, the motor will still track any shaft movement and
continue to update the current encoder position.
By default, the motor will activate MTB. To disable this default behavior, issue BRKRLS and
OFF commands. For more details on MTB, see MTB on page 591.
