9.9 Emergency-off
The drive is equipped with a hard-wired emergency-off circuit. When an emergency situation 
occurs during operation, this safety feature ensures that the drive can be disconnected 
without delay from the main power supply. If the EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton has been 
pressed while the drive is at standstill, the main power supply cannot be connected to the 
drive, hence the drive cannot be started up.
The EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton of the drive is part of the operator control panel (Fig. 9-1) 
and features a latching switch action.
CAUTION
 ⚠ 
9.9.1 Initiating an emergency-off
To initiate an emergency-off, press the EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton on the control 
compartment door, or an external EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton (if present) linked to the 
emergency-off circuit.
When an emergency-off is initiated during drive operation, the following takes place:
- The MCB opens.
- The drive coasts down.
- The status line of the CDP control panel displays the message Emerg Off.
- The DC link of the drive discharges.
Pressing the EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton does not disconnect the auxiliary 
power supply from the drive.
