An Emergency Braking Operation 
Emergency brakes will apply through brake electronics when:
1.Response from the Vigilance module
2.Permitted maximum speed being exceeded
3.Moving of the driver’s brake handle to position EMERGENCY [automatic train brake]
4.Actuation of the emergency brake cock on the assistant driver’s side
5.Actuation of the emergency stop push button on the panel A
6. Failure of the electronic brake control system
7. Train parting
Note:-The emergency stop button is only active in the activated driver’s cab. However its function is not dependent on the speed of the locomotive. When the emergency stop button is pressed, the VCB opens and the pantograph is lowered along with BP drop and TE/BE “0”.Emergency braking is actuated directly in all cases and is not controlled by the MCE. However, the MCE responds to emergency braking by reducing tractive effort to 0. If an emergency braking operation is iggered in multiple operation, it is transferred to the slave locomotive also.
