D2 Drive User Guide v1.8 A. Axis Enable Setting
HIWIN Mikrosystem Corp. 266
A.1. Start enable method
(1) Enable via host controller
Usually, the host controller sends a command to the drive to control the motor enable.
This is done through the drive’s input pin. Normally, the “Axis Enable” function is set to the
digital input I3 (see Section 5.5.1), as shown in Fig. A-1.

(2) Temporary hardware enable
When the user does not have the host controller to send the hardware enable signal to
the drive, the following method can be used to provide the hardware enable temporarily.
First, click the button in the main toolbar to open the I/O center, as shown in Fig. A-1.
Confirm that the status light of “Axis Enable” is green. Generally, I3 is set to the input of
hardware enable signal. Since each input pin has an “Invert” function, the signal logic can
be reversed via this “Invert” option to temporarily provide a simulated hardware enable
signal according to the test requirement. When the status light in the “State” column is
green, it indicates that the drive has received a hardware enable signal.
