Moving the winches
When moving the winches ensure that the entire system is powered down. Unplugging the encoder cables with any power running through the system will cause a "drive error" upon power up. If a drive error does occur it can be reset by either querying the drive and enabling reset or enabling "reset drive" via the "devices" function.

Query and execute the reset option under diagnostics or call up the "drive in error" from the Devices menue and execute the drive reset from there.
