Description

As a user I would like to know that my galil/beckhoff motor will not move because it is neither A) energised and B) has auto-energise enabled

Acceptance criteria

  • a big red angry box is shown when a motor is not energised and doesn't have auto energise turned on. This will only be applicable for galils and beckhoffs, other motion controllers do not have the PVs for energise etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the motor table UI component, understand how PVs for energise and auto energise are accessed, and add a warning element when both are false for Galil and Beckhoff motors.
