Turning Motors on and off

mbwelenc

Hi, I'm a newbie to PC SDK and I'm working on an application that requires being the ability to turn the motors on or off.  I'm using PC SDK version 5.11. Is there a method, either directly or through RAPID, to turn the motors on or off?

It's easy 
In my case, I use Visual studio C# to do my application. And there is a button event to turn on or off 

private Controller mycontroller = null;

private void button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

                if (mycontroller.State == ABB.Robotics.Controllers.ControllerState.MotorsOn)

                {

                    mycontroller.State = ABB.Robotics.Controllers.ControllerState.MotorsOff;

                }

                else

                {

                    mycontroller.State = ABB.Robotics.Controllers.ControllerState.MotorsOn;

                }

        }

then done.
