12.20.7 Retraction
The retraction motion can be parameterized and programmed.
The following diagram shows the possible sources and the associated reactions for the
extended, parameterizable and open-loop controlled retraction without giving the programmable
retraction motions.

Mode group stop
There are two categories of retraction, i.e.
• as an open-loop control function and
• as an autonomous drive function.
Sources
There are four source areas for the retraction process:
• Internal axis/spindle-specific sources,
• Internal sources specific to channel/mode group or general sources,
• External sources via HW inputs,
• Communications failure (autonomous drive sources which initiate generator-mode braking
of the drive).
