Hi, While reading the EMC2 documents, I think I may have missed a concept... I'm wondering about the intended purpose for F2.
The docs talk about F2 "toggling the machine power". The usage steps are always F1 (toggle estop) and then F2 (toggle power) - and if one just follows the recipe of F1, F2 things work... But it seems odd to me: The names of the functions make me think the steps are logically reversed - as a machine that is not powered on should have a hard time getting out of estop.... I'd have expected the sequence to be "toggle power" and then "toggle estop". So I find myself wondering what it is that F2 is supposed to toggle on/off.... Is there some historical aspect to the intention for F2 that I missed? Perhaps someone could enlighten me as to what F2 actually does under the hood?
