Enabling/Disabling the Robot Arm
In adjustment of extended-joints, if you want to turn only extended-joint motors on for operational check without turning robot arm motor on, then disable the robot arm.
- Once you change this robot arm setting, be sure to restart the robot controller. Otherwise, an encoder-related error may occur.
- If the robot arm is disabled, turning the motor power on will not start the robot arm motors.
