Safety Information
Your application consists of a whole range of different interrelated mechanical,
electrical, and electronic components, the soft starter being just one part of the
application. The soft starter by itself is neither intended to nor capable of providing
the entire functionality to meet all safety-related requirements that apply to your
application. Depending on the application and the corresponding risk assessment
to be conducted by you, a whole variety of additional equipment is required such
as, but not limited to, external encoders, external brakes, external monitoring
devices, guards, etc.
As a designer/manufacturer of machines, you must be familiar with and observe
all standards that apply to your machine. You must conduct a risk assessment and
determine the appropriate Performance Level (PL) and/or Safety Integrity Level
(SIL) and design and build your machine in compliance with all applicable
standards. In doing so, you must consider the interrelation of all components of
the machine. In addition, you must provide instructions for use that enable the
user of your machine to perform any type of work on and with the machine such as
operation and maintenance in a safe manner.
The present document assumes that you are fully aware of all normative
standards and requirements that apply to your application. Since the soft starter
cannot provide all safety-related functionality for your entire application, you must
ensure that the required Performance Level and/or Safety Integrity Level is
reached by installing all necessary additional equipment.
WARNING
INSUFFICIENT PERFORMANCE LEVEL/SAFETY INTEGRITY LEVEL AND/
OR UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Conduct a risk assessment according to EN ISO 12100 and all other
standards that apply to your application.
• Use redundant components and/or control paths for all critical control
functions identified in your risk assessment.
• Verify that the service life of all individual components used in your
application is sufficient for the intended service life of your overall
application.
• Perform extensive commissioning tests for all potential error situations to
verify the effectiveness of the safety-related functions and monitoring
functions implemented, for example, but not limited to, speed monitoring by
means of encoders, short circuit monitoring for all connected equipment,
correct operation of brakes and guards.
• Perform extensive commissioning tests for all potential error situations to
verify that the load can be brought to a safe stop under all conditions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
Read and understand the instructions in Safety Information chapter before
performing any procedure in this chapter.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Wire cross sections and tightening torques must comply with the
specifications provided in this document.
• If you use flexible multi-wire cables for a connection with a voltage higher
than 25 Vac, you must use ring type cable lugs or wire ferrules, depending
on the wire gauge and the specified stripping length of the cable.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
The product has a leakage current greater than 3.5 mA. If the protective ground
connection is interrupted, a hazardous touch current may flow if the product is
touched.
DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAUSED BY HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT
Verify compliance with all local and national electrical code requirements as well
as all other applicable regulations with respect to grounding of the entire drive
system installation.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION AGAINST OVERCURRENTS CAN CAUSE
FIRE OR EXPLOSION
• Use properly rated overcurrent protection devices.
• Use the fuses/circuit breakers specified.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR FIRE
The opening of the branch-circuit protective device is able to be an indication
that a fault current has been interrupted.
• Current-carrying parts and other components of the controller should be
examined and replaced if damaged.
• If burnout of the current element of an overload relay occurs, the complete
overload relay must be replaced.

Wiring
Product may perform unexpected movements because of incorrect wiring,
incorrect settings, incorrect data or other errors.
WARNING
UNANTICIPATED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
• Carefully install the wiring in accordance with the EMC requirements.
• Do not operate the product with unknown or unsuitable settings or data.
• Perform a comprehensive commissioning test.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Refer to the following instructions to wire the soft starter:
• Do not route signal cables next to power cables.
• Cables connected to the motor must have the maximum possible separation
from all other power cables. Do not run them in the same conduit. This
separation reduces the possibility of coupling electrical noise between
circuits.
• Voltage and frequency specifications for the supply mains must match the
soft starter configuration.
• A disconnect switch must be installed between the supply mains and the soft
starter.
• Power factor correction capacitors should not be connected to a motor
controlled by a soft starter. If power factor correction is required, the
capacitors must be located on the mains of the soft starter. A separate
contactor should be used to switch the capacitors off when the motor is off, or
during acceleration and deceleration. Use the relay R2 or R3 to switch the
contactors.
• The soft starter must be grounded to conform to the regulations concerning
leakage currents. If the installation involves several soft starters on the same
supply mains, each soft starter must be grounded separately.

The use of aluminum field wiring cables is allowed on ATS480 from ATS480C14Y
to ATS480M12Y with limitation.
In case of usage of terminal protection kits, the cross section of aluminum cable
may be incompatible with the protection kit capacity and can cause equipment
damage or impossible mounting.
DANGER
HAZARD OF FIRE OR/AND TERMINALS OVERHEATING
• The plating of aluminum wire termination must only be compatible with the
tin plated copper terminals of the product as regards to galvanic corrosion.
• The sizing of the aluminum wires must be made in accordance with the
information below
• The sizing of aluminum wire terminations must not exceed the terminal
dimension capacity (refer to Power Connections table ).
• Cross sections exceeding the terminal dimension capacity can cause
impossible wiring, damage on the terminals or the equipment, or electrical
insulation weakness and therefore shall be avoided.
• The tightening torque on aluminum wires termination must be adapted to
prevent damage during installation, reduce creeping risk and prevent risk of
overheating in operation
• In order to prevent risks from aluminum oxide low conductivity, the aluminum
wire termination must be protected against corrosion or not submitted to
corrosive substances.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Bypassing The Soft Starter
The soft starter can be bypassed with a contactor (K) at end
of start. The bypass contactor can be controlled by the soft
starter, using the relay R2. The monitoring functions such as
current measurement remain active when the soft starter is
bypassed.
Bypassing soft starter limits heat dissipation of the SCR,
which allows:
• To downsize the soft starter by one current rating
• More starts per hour
• Higher starting current
• Longer starting time

Connection In The Motor Delta Winding
The Soft starter can be connected in series with motor
windings in a delta connection (inside the delta connection).
By doing so, for the same motor power rating, the current
going through the winding and the soft starter is reduced by
1.7 (√3). This reduction allows to choose a soft starter with
lower current rating.
Example:
Using a 400V 110kW 4 pole motor with a mains supply
current of 195A (nominal current for the delta connection).
• In-line connection: a soft starter is selected with a
current rating just above 195A, i.e. ATS480C21Y (210A)
for a normal duty application.
• Inside delta connection: the current in each winding is
equal to 195/√3 = 114A, ATS480C14Y is sufficient for
this normal duty application.
• (a): Supply mains
• (b): Soft starter
• (c): Induction motor
For more information about the parameters enabling insidedelta usage, refer to Connection Inside The Delta Of The
Motor, page 105.

General
The AC voltage source must be of overvoltage category II (OVC II) according to
IEC 60947-4-2 and IEC 60947-1.
If it is not the case, an isolation transformer must be used.
Contactors with AC Coil
If controlled by a relay, a resistor-capacitor (RC) circuit must be connected in
parallel to the coil of the contactor as shown on the drawing below.
(1) AC 250 Vac maximum.
Schneider Electric AC contactors have a dedicated area on the housing to plug
easily the RC device. Refer to the Motor control and protection components
catalog MKTED210011EN available on se.com to find the RC device to be
associated with the contactor used.
Example: With a 48 Vac source, contactors LC1D09E7 or LC1DT20E7 have to be
used with LAD4RCE voltage suppression device.
Other Inductive AC Loads
For other inductive AC loads:
• Use an auxiliary contactor connected on the product to control the load.
Example: with a 48 Vac source, auxiliary contactors CAD32E7 or CAD50E7
with LAD4RCE voltage suppression device.
• When using a third-party inductive AC load, request the supplier to provide
information on the voltage suppression device, in order to avoid overvoltage
above 375 V during relay opening.

Example: with I(load) = 0.9 A and V(TVS) = 50 Vdc, TVS peak power
must be greater than 45 W
following 0.5 x I(load) x V(TVS) x load time constant x number of operation
per second.
Example: with I(load) = 0.9 A and V(TVS) = 50 Vdc, load time constant =
40 ms (load inductance divided by load resistance) and 1 operation every
3 s, the TVS average power dissipation must be greater than 0.5 x 0.9 x
50 x 0.04 x 0.33 = 0.3 W.
(1) DC 30 Vdc maxi.
(2) Flyback diode
The diode is a polarized device. The fly-back diode must be defined by:
• A reverse voltage greater than 100 Vdc,
• A rated current greater than two times the load rated current,
• A thermal resistance: junction to ambient temperature (in K/W) less than 90 /
(1.1 x I(load)) to operate at maximum 60°C (140°F) ambient temperature.
Example: with I(load) = 1.5 A, select a 100 V, 3 A rated current diode with a
thermal resistance from junction to ambient less than 90 / (1.1 x 1.5) = 54.5 K/
W.
Using a flyback diode, the relay opening time will be longer than with a TVS diode.
NOTE: Use diodes with leads for easy wiring and keep at least 1 cm (0.39 in.)
of leads on each side of the case of the diode for a correct cooling.

Upstream Protection Devices
The EN/IEC 60947-4-1 make a distinction between two different types of coordination, which are designated coordination type 1 and co-ordination type 2.
Type 1 co-ordination:
Type 1 co-ordination requires that, under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or
starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and may not be suitable for
further service without repair and replacement of parts.
Type 2 co-ordination:
Type 2 co-ordination requires that, under short-circuit conditions, the contactor or
starter shall cause no danger to persons or installation and shall be suitable for
further use. The risk of contact welding is recognized, in which case the
manufacturer shall indicate the measures to be taken as regards the maintenance
of the equipment.
NOTE: Use of an SCPD not in compliance with the manufacturer's
recommendations can invalidate the co-ordination.

Cybersecurity
Overview
The objective of Cybersecurity is to help provide increased levels of protection for
information and physical assets from theft, corruption, misuse, or accidents while
maintaining access for their intended users.
No single Cybersecurity approach is adequate. Schneider Electric recommends a
defense-in-depth approach. Conceived by the National Security Agency (NSA),
this approach layers the network with security features, appliances, and
processes.
The basic components of this approach are:
• Risk assessment
• A security plan built on the results of the risk assessment
• A multi-phase training campaign
• Physical separation of the industrial networks from enterprise networks using
a demilitarized zone (DMZ) and the use of firewalls and routing to establish
other security zones
• System access control
• Device hardening
• Network monitoring and maintenance
This chapter defines the elements that help you configure a system that is less
susceptible to cyber-attacks.
Network administrators, system integrators and personnel that commission,
maintain or dispose of a device should:
• Apply and maintain the device’s security capabilities. See Device Security
Capabilities sub-chapter for details
• Review assumptions about protected environments. See Protected
Environment Assumptions sub-chapter for details
• Address potential risks and mitigation strategies. See Product Defense-inDepth sub-chapter for details
• Follow recommendations to optimize cybersecurity
For detailed information on the system defense-in-depth approach, refer to the
TVDA: How Can I Reduce Vulnerability to Cyber Attacks in the Control Room
(STN V2) on se.com.
To submit a Cybersecurity question, report security issues, or get the latest news
from Schneider Electric, visit the Schneider Electric website.
WARNING
POTENTIAL COMPROMISE OF SYSTEM AVAILABILITY, INTEGRITY, AND
CONFIDENTIALITY
• Change default password to help prevent unauthorized access to device
settings and information.
• Disable unused ports/services and default accounts, where possible, to
minimize pathways for malicious attacks.
• Place networked devices behind multiple layers of cyber defenses (such as
firewalls, network segmentation, and network intrusion detection and
protection).
• Use cybersecurity best practices (for example: least rights, separation of
duties) to help prevent unauthorized exposure, loss or modification of data
and logs, interruption of services, or unintended operation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
NNZ85515.04 – 07/2023 63

Protected Environment Assumptions
Machines, controllers, and related equipment are usually integrated into networks.
Unauthorized persons and malware may gain access to the machine as well as to
other devices on the network/fieldbus of the machine and connected networks via
insufficiently secure access to software and networks.
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE MACHINE VIA SOFTWARE AND
NETWORKS
• In your hazard and risk analysis, consider all hazards that result from access
to and operation on the network/fieldbus and develop an appropriate cyber
security concept.
• Verify that the hardware infrastructure and the software infrastructure into
which the machine is integrated as well as all organizational measures and
rules covering access to this infrastructure consider the results of the hazard
and risk analysis and are implemented according to best practices and
standards covering ITsecurity and cyber security (such as: ISO/IEC 27000
series, Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation,
ISO/ IEC 15408, IEC 62351, ISA/IEC 62443, NIST Cybersecurity
Framework, Information Security Forum - Standard of Good Practice for
Information Security, SE recommended Cybersecurity Best Practices*).
• Verify the effectiveness of your ITsecurity and cyber security systems using
appropriate, proven methods.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

Cybersecurity
Before considering cybersecurity practices on the device, please pay attention to
following points:
• Cybersecurity governance – available and up-to-date guidance on governing
the use of information and technology assets in your company.
• Perimeter security – installed devices, and devices that are not in service, are
in an access-controlled or monitored location.
• Emergency power – the control system provides the capability to switch to
and from an emergency power supply without affecting the existing security
state or a documented degraded mode.
• Firmware upgrades – the ATS480 upgrades are implemented consistently to
the current version of firmware available on se.com.
• Controls against malware – detection, prevention, and recovery controls to
help protect against malware are implemented and combined with
appropriate user awareness.
• Physical network segmentation – the control system provides the capability
to:
◦ Physically segment control system networks from non-control system
networks.
◦ Physically segment critical control system networks from non- critical
control system networks.
• Logical isolation of critical networks – the control system provides the
capability to logically and physically isolate critical control system networks
from non-critical control system networks. For example, using VLANs.
• Independence from non-control system networks – the control system
provides network services to control system networks, critical or non-critical,
without a connection to non-control system networks.
• Encrypt protocol transmissions over all external connections using an
encrypted tunnel, TLS wrapper or a similar solution.
• Zone boundary protection – the control system provides the capability to:
◦ Manage connections through managed interfaces consisting of
appropriate boundary protection devices, such as: proxies, gateways,
routers, firewalls, and encrypted tunnels.
◦ Use an effective architecture, for example, firewalls protecting application
gateways residing in a DMZ.
◦ Control system boundary protections at any designated alternate
processing sites should provide the same levels of protection as that of the
primary site, for example, data centers.
• No public internet connectivity – access from the control system to the
internet is not recommended. If a remote site connection is needed, for
example, encrypt protocol transmissions.
• Resource availability and redundancy – ability to break the connections
between different network segments or use duplicate devices in response to
an incident.
• Manage communication loads – the control system provides the capability to
manage communication loads to mitigate the effects of information flooding
types of DoS (Denial of Service) events.
• Control system backup – available and up-to-date backups for recovery from
a control system failure.

Security Policy
Cybersecurity
WARNING
ACCESSIBILITY LOSS
• Setup a security policy to your device and backup the device image with
security administrator user account.
• Define and regularly review the password policy.
• Periodic change of the passwords, Schneider Electric recommends a
modification of the password each 90 days.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Cybersecurity helps to provide:
• Confidentiality (to help prevent unauthorized access)
• Integrity (to help prevent unauthorized modification)
• Availability/authentication (preventing the denial of service and assuring
authorized access)
• Non-repudiation (preventing the denial of an action that took place)
• Traceability/detection (logging and monitoring)
Norm IEC 62443 is the worldwide standard for security of industrial control system
(ICS) networks.
From the norm definition, Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 is considered as Embedded
Device of the ICS network, and has been designed following the norm IEC624434-1 and the technical security requirements are defined in compliance with norm
IEC 62443-4-2.
Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 security features prevent the unauthorized disclosure
of information via eavesdropping or casual exposure.
For an efficient security, the instructions and procedures should structure the roles
and responsibilities in terms of security within the organization; in other words,
who is authorized to perform what and when. These should be known by the
users.
The anti-intrusion and anti-physical access to any sensitive installation should be
set up.
All the security rules implemented in the ATS480 are in complement of the points
above.
66 NNZ85515.04 – 07/2023
Page 67
Cybersecurity
The device does not have the capability to transmit data encrypted using the
following protocols: HTTP, Modbus slave over serial, Modbus slave over Ethernet,
EtherNet/IP, SNMP, SNTP. If other users gained access to your network,
transmitted information can be disclosed or subject to tampering.
WARNING
CYBERSECURITY HAZARD
• For transmitting data over an internal network, physically or logically
segment the network, the access to the internal network needs to be
restricted by using standard controls such as firewalls.
• For transmitting data over an external network, encrypt protocol
transmissions over all external connections using an encrypted tunnel, TLS
wrapper or a similar solution.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
The access through the digital inputs is not controlled.
Any computer using SoMove, DTM, Webserver or EcoStruxure Control Expert
should have an updated anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-ransomware application
activated during the use.
The ATS480 have the capability to export its settings and files manually or
automatically. It is recommended to archive any settings and files (device backup
images, device configuration, device security policies) in a secure area.
Product Defense-in-Depth
Use a layered network approach with multiple security and defense controls in
your ITand control system to minimize data protection gaps, reduce single-points
of failure and create a strong cybersecurity posture. The more layers of security in
your network, the harder it is to breach defenses, take digital assets or cause
disruption.

in", with a name and password.
The ATS480 controls the access through:
• SoMove DTM (Serial and Ethernet connection)
• The webserver (Ethernet option required)
• EcoStruxure Control Expert
• EADM (EcoStruxure Automation Device Maintenance)
Non Repudiation by Security Event Logging
The security event logging prevents the repudiation issues by ensuring traceability
and detection of any service executed and affecting the security policy of the
device.
These security capabilities support the analysis of security events, help protect the
device from unauthorized alteration and records configuration changes and user
account events:
• Machine and human-readable reporting options for current device security
settings
• Audit event logs to identify:
◦ The ATS480 configuration modification
◦ The device users’ activity (login, logout, etc...)
◦ The device firmware updates
◦ Audit storage capacity of 500 event logs by default
◦ Timestamps, including date and time, match ATS480 clock

ATS480 Security Policy
To facilitate cybersecurity first configurations, the ATS480 offers 2 security profiles
with preset ATS480 security features. This operation applies default values
adapted to the security level targeted by the system of which the device is part.
Selection of these 2 security policies can be done upon first power up of the
device, both with the display terminal, SoMove, DTM or EcoStruxure Control
Expert.
Security Policy “Minimum”
This profile offers a minimum of cybersecurity features. The user access control
(login & password check at connection) are disabled on SoMove, EADM,
WebServer and EcoStruxure Control Expert.
Those connections remain unsecured and open for potential elevation of privilege.
This profile is to be used for installation where authentication & authorization
constraints are covered by access control mitigation external to the device.
When Minimum policy is selected, each user accessing the device is considered
to have ADMIN role and privileges.
Security Policy “Advanced”
This profile presets the device security by enabling security features. The user
access control is enabled for the web server, SoMove, EADM and EcoStruxure
Control Expert.
Cybersecurity
When activating the “Advanced” security policy, the user is identified as ADMIN
and is requested to create a login and a password unique to the device.
A default password is displayed on the display terminal. It can be kept as it is or
modified.

Password Policy
By default, the password policy of the Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 complies with
IEEE 1686–2013 as following:
• 8 characters minimum with ASCII [32 to 122] characters
• At least one digit (0-9)
• At least one special character (@ % + ‘ ! # “ $ ^ ? : , ( ) [ ] ~ _ . ; = & / \ –
[SPACE])
In addition, for password changes, the password history is saved and prevents the
reuse of a password that has been set at least once in the last 5 times.
NNZ85515.04 – 07/2023 73
Page 74
Cybersecurity
The password policy can be customized or totally disabled to match with
password policy in place in the system of which the device is part.
The following settings are available:
• Password policy: enabled/disabled. If disabled, a password is requested as
authentication factor but there is no specific rule defined regarding the
password robustness
• Password history: No restriction, Exclude last 3, Exclude last 5
• Special character required: YES/NO
• Numeric character required: YES/NO
• Alphabetic character required: YES/NO
• Minimum password length: any value between 6 and 20
This password policy customization can only be done with SoMove, DTM or
EcoStruxure Control Expert. Please refer to DTM online help for details.
NOTE: Changing the User authentication security policy (elevation or
reduction of privilege) will be taken into account:
• Upon next connection to the soft starter, if the Initial Setup connection is
still open
• Immediately in other scenarios
Security Event Logging
The following time-stamped events are logged in a dedicated security log file:
• User authentications, authentication and logout attempts
• Security parameter changes
• Access to the security events
• Device reboot, startup
• Device hardware modifications and software updates
• Device Configuration Integrity changes (restore, download or factory settings)
The Altivar Soft Starter ATS480 can store up to 500 events, a warning is raised
when the log base is reaching 90% of capacity. This warning can be
acknowledged with SoMove. When the maximum capacity is reached, the oldest
events are erased.
If access control is disabled, any security event is identified as ADMIN action.
Embedded Device provides the capability to determine whether a given human
took a particular action. The link is established between the user identifier, the
action realized and the timestamping of the action (date and time) to provide an
efficient source of security logging.
Irrelevant date & time can result in false interpretation of the security event logging
and lead to either false positive or undetectable security threat detection.
NOTICE
WRONG TIMESTAMPING RESULT IN NON-REPUDIATION ISSUE
• Verify and regularly realign the synchronization of the device data & time.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
The security events can be read from SoMove, DTM and EcoStruxure Control
Expert. For security reasons, security logs are stored in a database to which readonly access is provided. There is no possibility to edit or erase this log database.
The format system log record follows the syntax defined by Syslog RFC–5424
2009 and the semantic normalized by Schneider Electric.

Set The Currents
The following parameters can be used to start smoothly and progressively a motor
by limiting the current in the motor during the start and ramp-up. This reduces the
current surge at the start, the mechanical stress on the motor and reduces
potential overloading of the electrical distribution network.
The value set to [Motor Nom Current] IN determines the current of the motor
thermal monitoring, depending on which motor class is set. For more information
regarding the motor thermal monitoring and the selection of the motor class, refer
to [Monitoring] PROT, page 132.
Step
With the maximum load, the current limitation should be set at a high enough
value to allow the motor to start. If the application requires more than 500% the
soft starter current rating, a higher rated soft starter must be selected.

Set Stop Profile
The following parameters can be used to control the stop of the motor.
There are three types of stop:
• Freewheel: No torque is applied to the motor by the soft starter. The motor
stops in freewheel.
• Deceleration: The soft starter applies a decreasing torque / voltage to the
motor to progressively decelerate it. The decreasing torque follows a defined
ramp. This type of stop reduces the risk of water hammering with a pump and
has no effect on high inertia applications.
• Braking: The soft starter applies a braking torque to the motor with current
injections, slowing it down even if there is considerable inertia.

[DC Braking Time] EBA parameter.
NOTE:
• [Braking] B cannot be used in series with the motor winding in delta. If
[Inside Delta] DLT is set to [Yes] YES when the braking is set, [Type of stop]
STT will be set to [Freewheel] F.
• Only one type of stop can be active at any given time.

Factory setting
[Deceleration] DEC 1...60 s 15 s
Deceleration ramp time
This parameter sets the deceleration ramp from the estimated applied torque at Stop order to no torque
applied.
Example with 80% of the nominal torque when a Stop order is applied:
• y: Estimated torque (as a percentage of the nominal torque).
• a: End of controlled deceleration set by [End Of Deceleration] EDC, motor stops in freewheel
• t: Time (s)
Depending on the load characteristics, it is possible the motor may not stop to a standstill at the end of the
ramp.
[End Of Deceleration] EDC 0...100% of estimated torque when
20%
a Stop order is applied
End of controled deceleration threshold
As soon as the estimated applied torque is below the value set in [End Of Deceleration] EDC (point “a” in the
figure above), the motor stops in freewheel.
This parameter can be accessed only if [Type of stop] STTis set to [Deceleration] DEC.
