Prior to the introduction of PROFIsafe, drive/motor safety meant removing complete power from the drive. And if coasting was a hazard: adding an external brake. Sadly, that may not have been the safest action to take. It may be safer to maintain a certain torque level to hold a web in position, for example. Or it may be safer to move the shaft so the machine went to a safe position. Now, these safety states and others can be achieved. To discover these other drive safety states, watch our Drive Safety webcast.
