It is possible to change the Inhibit signal to active high (7344 controller)?

Normal the controller 7344 generate an Inhibit signal active low. We can receive this signal from the UMI 7764, and send it to the motor drive.
We have a Nanomotion drive type AB-5. For that type of drive the is the Enable signal that is active low. It is possible that this generate a problem of dialogue between the controller and the drive? I means that it is possible that a signal that the controller explicite like inhibit is interpretated by the drive like enable and vice versa. If it is true, how is possible to swap the inhibit signal to active high?

You can set the polarity of the inhibit signal in MAX. Select the Axis Settings of your 7344 settings. To the lower right hand side there are the options for the inhibit output polarity.

Hey Falcomu
I am using Nanomotion motors with AB5 driver as well. I was able to invert the inhibit input. However, I am having difficulties with figuring out the right control settings. I followed instructions posted by NI (both Auto and Manual tuning). Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
