 ====== Shutting down a System Properly ====== ====== Shutting down a System Properly ======
 How does a robot control system properly shut down? In general it does never stop. Pressing an emergency button might switch to a emergency safety level. From there it might restart again after certain steps are taken. \\ However, in a system under development it is often desirable to end an application. That usually means to switch to a specific safety level where the necessary steps for a well controlled stopping of the application takes place. Only after this happened the executor stops running and returns control to the main program, which then stops as well. \\ How does a robot control system properly shut down?

 In the example this function triggers a safety event ''seShutDown''. You have to add this event to all safety levels where you actually want to allow shutting down the machine. In the example this function triggers a safety event ''seShutDown''.

-After pressing ''Ctrl-C'' the safety system will go into the safety level ''slShuttingDown'', see example in [[getting_started:tutorials:safetysystem|]].+After pressing ''Ctrl-C'' the safety system will go into the safety level ''slShuttingDown'', see example in [[getting_started:tutorials:system2|]].
 The system will stay in the level as long as the shutting down will take. This could include a whole sequence of steps such as applying brakes or driving to a safe position. As soon as this point is reached another safety event, ''seSwitchingOff'' is triggered which leads to a safety level change to ''slOff''. The action to be taken in this level is stopping the executor. Therefore, you have to assign a level action in your safety properties as follows: The system will stay in the level as long as the shutting down will take.
