Safety
Operation Manual Expansion Module SO CM-E
1800.202B.0-01 Date: 02/2019
The emergency stop function (as per EN 60204) shuts down the supply of power to a
machine, which results in the drives coasting down in an uncontrolled manner. To avert
hazards, check whether it is appropriate:
− To keep individual drives in operation
− To initiate specific safety procedures
− To incorporate an emergency stop function (emergency stop function: movement stop
by "switching off the electrical supply" or STO Safe Torque Off)
