8.8 Emergency-off
8.8.1 Function
The drive is equipped with a hardwired emergency-off circuit. If an 
emergency situation occurs during operation, this safety feature ensures 
that the drive system can be disconnected without delay from the main 
power supply. When 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 (see Figure 8-1).
Pressing the emergency OFF pushbutton does not disconnect or switch 
off the auxiliary power supply from the drive.
8.8.2 Initiating an emergency shutdown
An emergency shutdown is initiated by pressing 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 shutdown is initiated during drive operation: 
• The MV switchgear opens.
• The drive system coasts down. 
• The DC link of the drive discharges.
• The status line of the CDP control panel alternates between the 
messages EmergeOff, NotReadyOn.
