Gecko E-Stop recommended configuration

Mariss, and other Gentlemen,

If this has not been already covered, do we need an application note on this subject?

Many of us are using or are planning to use the G320, 340 drives. What is the recommended proceedure for E-stopping a G320 servo loop? It is my understanding that for safety reasons, the power is to be removed from the motor/drive, and IC logic is not to be depended upon to actually stop motion in an emergency situation. If so, where should we put in the relay to do so, in the power line to the amp, or inside the motor/drive loop? If not, should we simply use the disable input to the drive for emergencies?

Thanks again,

Tom Eldredge
