Abstract

Disclosed is a method for braking or stopping an electromotor which can be operated with direct current, such as a brushless direct current motor. If there is an error in the electromotor or in the electronic or mechanical units connected to the electromotor, the presence of definite error states is verified, and the electromotor is braked, by carrying out, taking into consideration a maximum loading capacity of an electronic control unit which is connected to the electromotor, at least temporarily, a control of the electromotor which is adapted to the detected, definite error state.
