3.1 Emergency stop according EN 60204
By using suitable safety switchgear units, stop category 0 and 1 according to EN 60204 can
bereachedbytheSTOfunctioninthesystem.Notechapter6forsafetyswitchgearunits.
Stop category 0
„uncontrolled stop“, i.e. stop by immediate removal of power to the
actuators.
Stop category 1
„controlled stop“, i.e. power to the actuators is retained to apply
braking until the stop is achieved. The energy is switched off at
standstill.
Emergency stop to EN 60204 must be functional in all operating modes of the drive module.
The reset of emergency stop may not lead to an uncontrolled start of the drive.

Jerks in error
case
In case of double malfunction it can lead to unwanted jerk, the
rotation angle is depending on the number of poles of the se-
lected drive and the gear ratio.
Calculationofthejerk:
Rotation angle of the jerk WR[°]=
