DOC-0017-03-EN: AC15 Series - Hardware Installation Manual 8 Safe Torque Off (STO): SIL2, PLd 8.1 Overview Introduction The AC15 is an adjustable speed electrical power drive system that is suitable for safety related applications (PDS(SR)). The drive is used in typical applications such as pump controls, packaging machines, textile machines, printing machines, or material forming machines.
DOC-0017-03-EN: AC15 Series - Hardware Installation Manual STO Functional Description STO is a means of preventing an inverter from delivering rotational force to its connected electric motor. Please refer to EN61800-5-2:2017 para 4.2.3.2 for the formal definition. To ensure a high degree of safety, two independent STO control channels are implemented in hardware, providing the safety sub function STO.
DOC-0017-03-EN: AC15 Series - Hardware Installation Manual 2. General Requirements of Category 3: A single failure will not lead to loss of the STO safety function. Failure of more than one component can lead to the loss of the STO safety function.
DOC-0017-03-EN: AC15 Series - Hardware Installation Manual In addition to the mandatory requirements of EN61800-3, the STO functionality has been subjected to testing for immunity at higher levels. In particular, the STO function (only) has been tested for radiated immunity according to EN61800-5-2:2017 Annex E up to 6GHz which includes frequencies used by mobile transmitters in general.
The user / installer is responsible for designing a suitable system to meet all requirements of the application including assessing and validating it. Parker will not accept any liability for failure to do this or any consequential loss or damage.

STO function is a factory-fitted and factory-tested feature. Repairs to the inverter STO featured-product are to be carried out only by Parker authorised repair centres. Any unauthorised attempt to repair or disassemble the product will render any warranty null and void, and STO integrity could be impaired.
DOC-0017-03-EN: AC15 Series - Hardware Installation Manual • The STO function must not be used for electrical isolation of the inverter and power. Whenever any personnel require to work on the drive, associated motor or other power items, they must always use recognised and suitable electrical isolation devices.
DOC-0017-03-EN: AC15 Series - Hardware Installation Manual Comprehensive Checks A comprehensive check of the STO function ensures the overall integrity of the STO functionality. It proves the independent operation of each channel individually (including during the normal dual channel operation), and the essential single fault detection.
