8.9 Emergency-off
The drive is equipped with a hardwired emergency-off circuit. When 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 local operator 
panel (Fig. 8-1) and features a latching switch action.
8.9.1 Initiating an emergency off
To initiate an emergency stop, press the EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton on 
the door of the control compartment, or, if present, an external 
EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton that is linked to the emergency-off circuit.
When an emergency-off is initiated during operation, the following 
takes place:
• Main circuit breaker opens
• Drive coasts down
• DC link of the drive discharges
• Status line indication of the CDP control panel alternates between 
EmergencyOff and NotReadyOn.
• EMERGENCY-OFF RESET pushbutton flashes.
• SUPPLY OFF pushbutton flashes.
8.9.2 Starting the drive system after an emergency-off
1. To start up the drive system after an emergency-off, unlatch the 
EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton. 
The EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton returns to its initial position when 
turned into the direction indicated by the arrows on the pushbutton. 
2. To reset the emergency-off safety relay of the drive, press 
EMERGENCY-OFF RESET button.
 ⚠ CAUTION 
Pressing the EMERGENCY-OFF pushbutton DOES NOT disconnect the 
auxiliary power supply from the drive.
