Operation Principle; Start-Up Including Acceptance Test; Competence; Acceptance Test Reports - ABB ACS880-04 Hardware Manual

Operation principle

1. The Safe torque off activates (the activation switch is opened, or safety relay contacts
open).
2. STO inputs on the drive control unit de-energize.
3. The control unit cuts off the control voltage from the drive IGBTs.
4. The control program generates an indication as defined by parameter 31.22 (refer to
the firmware manual of the drive).
5. Motor coasts to a stop (if running). The drive cannot restart while the activation switch
or safety relay contacts are open. After the contacts close, a new start command is
required to start the drive.

Start-up including acceptance test

To ensure the safe operation of a safety function, validation is required. The final
assembler of the machine must validate the function by performing an acceptance test.
The acceptance test must be performed
•
at initial start-up of the safety function
•
after any changes related to the safety function (circuit boards, wiring, components,
settings, etc.)
•
after any maintenance work related to the safety function.

Competence


The acceptance test of the safety function must be carried out by a competent person with
adequate expertise and knowledge of the safety function as well as functional safety, as
required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6. The test procedures and report must be documented
and signed by this person.

Acceptance test reports


Signed acceptance test reports must be stored in the logbook of the machine. The report
shall include documentation of start-up activities and test results, references to failure
reports and resolution of failures. Any new acceptance tests performed due to changes or
maintenance shall be logged into the logbook.

Acceptance test procedure


After wiring the Safe torque off function, validate its operation as follows.
Note: If an FSO-xx safety functions module or an FPTC-0x module is installed, refer to its
documentation.
Action
WARNING! Follow the safety instructions given in Safety instructions for ACS880 multidrive
cabinets and modules (3AUA0000102301 [English]). Ignoring the instructions can cause
physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment.
Ensure that the drive can be run and stopped freely during start-up.
Stop the drive (if running), switch the input power off and isolate the drive from the power line by a
disconnector.
Check the Safe torque off circuit connections against the wiring diagram.
