The values for various I/R units are summarized in the following table. In this
case, nominal and minimum capacitances are taken into account. The maxi-
mum possible capacitance (charge limits) comprises the sum of the capaci-
tance of the I/R module and the axis/spindle modules and external supplemen-
tary capacitors (to be provided by the user).The minimum capacitance, used in
table, takes into account a component tolerance of –20% (worst case)

When engineering emergency retraction, the energy must always be investiga-
ted in order to evaluate whether additional capacitor modules or a generator
axis/spindle is required or not (with approximately dimensioned inertia).
