WARNING!
Risk to life from the motor running down in an uncontrolled manner!
If the motor runs down in an uncontrolled manner, hazardous situations may
arise, which could result in serious injury and death.
Once the safety function STO has been triggered, electrical braking via the
drive is no longer possible.
If failsafe braking is required for the drive, an additional mechanical brake
must be used.
WARNING!
Risk of electrocution!
The safety function STO does not guarantee electrical isolation from the
power output.
Disconnect the servo amplifier from the mains and wait for the intermediate
circuit to discharge itself.
