run-down


Explanation:
It would be helpful to know whether a previous sentence indicates what the 'Auslauf' is.

In your context of a control unit (PLC ???) it could mean that the unit runs down to a gradual stop during normal operation, but this procedure will have to be cut short (terminated) as a result of certain diagnostic results.
