Stop the drive 
The drive can be stopped in two ways, either by taking away the On command directly which opens all 
contactors as fast as possible after stopping the drive according to Off1Mode (21.02) or by means of the 
following sequence: 
Overriding Control 
MainCtrlWord (7.01) 
Drive 
MainStatWord (8.01) 
The overriding control removes Run 
= 0; (bit 3)
  
In speed control mode, the drive stops according to 
StopMode
 (21.03). In torque control mode, the torque 
reference is reduced to zero. When zero speed or zero 
torque is reached the state RdyRef is removed. 
RdyRef = 0; (bit 2) 
The overriding control can keep the On 
command if the drive has to be started up 
again 
The overriding control removes On 
 = 0; (bit 0)
 
All contactors are opened - the fan contactors stay in 
according to 
FanDly (21.14) - and the state RdyRun is 
RdyRun = 0; (bit 1) 
Besides, in MainStatWord (8.01), the drive’s state is shown in DriveStat (8.08). Off2 (Coast Stop) and Off3 (E-
stop) see chapter Start, Stop and E-stop control
. 
 
Excitation 
General 
The DCS550 is equipped with an integrated field exciter its function is explained here. 
Field control 
The integrated field exciter is controlled by means of FldCtrlMode (44.01): 
constant field (no field weakening), EMF controller blocked, default 
field weakening active, EMF controller released 
Field current monitoring 
Field minimum trip 
During normal operation, the field current is compared with M1FldMinTrip (30.12). The drive trips with F541 
M1FexLowCur [FaultWord3 (9.03) bit 8] if the field current drops below this limit and is still undershot when 
FldMinTripDly (45.18) is elapsed. 
Note: 
M1FldMinTrip (30.12) is not valid during field heating. In this case, the trip level is automatically set to 50 % of 
M1FldHeatRef (44.04). The drive trips with F541 M1FexLowCur [FaultWord3 (9.03) bit 8] if 50 % of 
M1FldHeatRef (44.04) is still undershot when FldMinTripDly (45.18) is elapsed.
