A45638 What this chapter contains This chapter describes the Safe torque off (STO) function of the drive and gives instructions for its use. Description The Safe torque off function can be used, for example, to construct safety or supervision circuits that stop the drive in case of danger. Another possible application is a prevention of unexpected start-up switch that enables short-time maintenance operations like cleaning or work on non-electrical parts of the machinery without switching off the power supply to the drive. Note: The Safe torque off function does not disconnect the voltage from the drive, see the warning on page 128. When activated, the Safe torque off function disables the control voltage of the power semiconductors of the drive output stage (A, see diagram on page 124), thus preventing the drive from generating the torque required to rotate the motor. If the motor is running when Safe torque off is activated, it coasts to a stop. The Safe torque off function has a redundant architecture, that is, both channels must be used in the safety function implementation. The safety data given in this manual is calculated for redundant use, and does not apply if both channels are not used. 122 Safe torque off function The Safe torque off function of the drive complies with these standards: The function also corresponds to Prevention of unexpected start-up as specified by EN 1037:1995 + A1:2008 and Uncontrolled stop (stop category 0) as specified in EN 60204-1:2006 + AC:2010. Compliance with the European Machinery Directive See section Compliance with the European Machinery Directive on page 100.
