FunctionMC_EStopPLCopen motion icon

Description

This function causes an emergency stop (E-stop). An E-stop stops motion interpolation, clear all moves from the queue (active and next), change the axis state to ErrorStop, and request the drive to open the position loop and disable the drive. The E-stop remains in effect until the application calls MC_ResetError to reset the E-stop.
