Faults and Alarms Chapter 10
The list of actions that are taken can be restricted by the drive. When a previously
selected entry is no longer supported due to a configuration change, most of the
entries default to Stop Drive. In the few cases where Stop Drive does not apply,
the default is Fault Status Only. For example, Stop Drive does not apply with a
Feedback Only type configuration.

Task Choose Description
Shut down the axis and let it
coast to a stop.
Shutdown Shutdown is the most severe action. Use it for faults that could
endanger the machine or the operator if you don’t remove power
quickly and completely.
A fault happens when the following occurs:
• Axis servo action is disabled
• Servo amplifier output is zeroed
• Appropriate drive enable output is deactivated
• OK contact of the servo module opens. Use this to open
the E-Stop string to the drive power supply
Stop the axis and let the drive
stop the axis where you use the
Stopping Action attribute to
configure how to stop the drive.
Stop Drive A fault happens when the following occurs:

• Drive switches to local servo loop control and the axis is
slowed to a stop using the Stopping Torque
• The servo action and the power structure are disabled if the
axis doesn’t stop in the Stopping Time
