Function description

How does the STO safety function work?
Table 8- 25
1. The inverter recognizes the selection of STO
2. The inverter prevents energy from being fed to
3. The inverter signals that "STO is active" via a

If the motor is still rotating when STO is selected, then it coasts down to standstill.
The STO safety function is standardized
The STO function is defined in IEC/EN 61800-5-2:
"[...] [The inverter] does not supply any energy to the motor which can generate a torque (or
for a linear motor, a force)."
