Hello Gene, Did you mean motion.enabled pin? That's the one that outputs the machine on/off state. But there's the motion.enable pin (turned on by default) that can be turned off and in that state you can't turn on the machine using the GUI unless you turn motion.enable pin ON again.
I never used it, and I don't have on hand the configurations of the other machines so that's why I was a little confused about it's use. What's strange for me mostly is why this pin is in the MOTION module, and the ones used for the ESTOP chain are in the IOCONTROL module.
