down of the following components: oven, laser, motors, turbine, as well as the pneumatic drives,
•
Emergency shutdown (as per IEC 947-3): this involves a circuit-breaker located on the network upstream of the ma-
chine . It can be used to cut off the power supply to the machine in a single operation,
