Servo control signals

I have a Kinco FD422 servo drive and motors for a router project and in the planning stage for the interface to and from the 7i77 to the drive.
I have the usual inputs to the FD422, analog +-10V for speed & direction control with digital inputs "enable & "fault reset" but I noticed that there is also a option for a "quick stop" input.
Its description in the manual is :" When the signal is valid, the motor shaft releases. After the signal is removed, the driver requires re-enabling".

I was wondering if this input required when I could just use he drive enable input?
Its description is : "By default, the driver enable signal is valid, and the motor shaft is locked".
I assume that the shaft is unlocked if it is not enabled.

For outputs from the FD422 , I have 'ABZ encoder signals",  "Drive ready" and "error" to the 7i77.

I know there are power & grounds that need to be wired to get it going but is there any other IO I should be considering?

Thanks,
Steve

I would think that enable is sufficient
(you would expect enable to have the same effect, no torque when enable is false)

If that is in the manual, it means the drive is enabled when there is nothing on the enable input!
That is ok for stepper systems to a certain point, but it is a big nono for servo systems.
Pretty sure there is also how to reverse that in the manual, you can use it as is while testing, but for daily use i would change that for sure.

The quick stop signal is for external E-stop circuit. It basically puts the drive in a "safe torque off" state that it can't get out of without reset.

Thanks for the answers Gents.
All the answers make sense. Thinking about it the drives have a position mode in them where you can define a movement based on inputs and timers without a external controller so Roiki's answer would fit the best where a simple enable & stop button could control the movement.

In the case of external control I think PCW's answer is correct for this purpose.
