F434

Emergency-Stop

Indramat · DIAX 04

What does F434 mean?

The DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive has received an Emergency-Stop command, typically from an external safety circuit. This initiates an immediate, controlled, and safe shutdown of the drive and connected motor. This is a critical safety function to prevent injury or damage during hazardous situations.

Common Causes

  • An external Emergency-Stop button was pressed.
  • A safety light curtain, safety gate switch, or other safety device was activated.
  • Fault in the external safety circuit (e.g., wiring short, component failure) falsely triggering the E-Stop.
  • Incorrect wiring or configuration of the E-Stop input to the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive.
  • Internal fault within the DIAX04 SSE-03VRS drive's safety input monitoring.
