Switch-on is inhibited

What does A01696 mean?

The drive is unable to switch on and remains in the READY state because its start is inhibited. This can be caused by a deactivated gate driver, an active safety function such as Safe Torque Off (STO), Safe Stop 1 (SS1), or Safe Limited Speed (SLS), or another inhibit condition, preventing motor operation.
