This information applies to the CompactLogix 5370, ControlLogix 5570, 
Compact GuardLogix 5370, GuardLogix 5570, Compact GuardLogix 5380, 
CompactLogix 5380, CompactLogix 5480, ControlLogix 5580, and GuardLogix 
5580 controllers. 
Use the Motion Coordinated Shutdown (MCSD) instruction to perform a 
controlled shutdown of all the axes in the named coordinate system. 
Important: 
Tags used for the motion control attribute of instructions should only be 
used once. Re-use of the motion control tag in other instructions can cause 
unintended operation. This may result in damage to equipment or 
personal injury. 
 
Important: 
Risk of Velocity and/or End Position Overshoot 
If you change move parameters dynamically by any method, that is by 
changing move dynamics (MCD or MCCD) or by starting a new instruction 
before the last one has completed, be aware of the risk of velocity and/or 
end position overshoot. 
A Trapezoidal velocity profile can overshoot if maximum deceleration is 
decreased while the move is decelerating or is close to the deceleration 
point. 
An S-curve velocity profile can overshoot if: 
maximum deceleration is decreased while the move is decelerating or 
close to the deceleration point; or 
maximum acceleration jerk is decreased and the axis is accelerating. Keep 
in mind, however, that jerk can be changed indirectly if it is specified in % 
of time.
