Operating Guide
4.5.1 Restart Prevention for STO Application
Application where parameter 5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop is set to default value [1] Safe Stop Alarm.
Procedure
1.
Remove the 24 V DC voltage supply to terminal 37 using the interrupt device while the drive runs the motor (that is, mains
supply is not interrupted).
2.
Check that:
-
a.
The motor coasts.
b.
-
The mechanical brake activates (if connected).
-
c.
The LCP (if mounted) shows Alarm 68, Safe Stop.
3.
Reapply 24 V DC to terminal 37.
4.
Ensure that the motor remains in the coasted state, and that the mechanical brake (if connected) remains activated.
5.
Send a reset signal via bus, digital I/O, or [Reset] key.
6.
Ensure that the motor is operational again.
When all given steps are passed, the commissioning test is successfully completed.
4.5.2 Automatic Restart of STO Application
Applications where parameter 5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop is set to [3] Safe Stop Warning or combined STO.
Procedure
1.
Remove 24 V DC voltage supply to terminal 37 by the interrupt device while the drive runs the motor (that is, mains supply
is not interrupted).
2.
Check that:
-
a.
The motor coasts.
b.
-
The mechanical brake activates (if connected).
-
c.
The LCP (if mounted) shows Warning 68, Safe Stop.
3.
Reapply 24 V DC to terminal 37.
4.
Ensure that the motor is operational again.
When all the given steps are passed, the commissioning test is successfully completed.

4.6 System Configuration Security
•
Security measures are the responsibility of the user.
•
The drive parameters can be password-protected.
4.7 Service and Maintenance
It is required for PL d or SIL2 to conduct a functional test every 12 months to detect any failure or malfunction of the STO functional-
ity. For lower PL or SIL, it is a recommendation.
4.7.1 Performing Functional Tests
It is required to perform successful functional tests. If hardware faults are detected during a test, leading to situations where step 3–
5 and step 7 cannot be verified:
•
Immediately initiate the STO.
•
Replace the faulty unit and run a successful commissioning test before resuming normal operation.
•
Operation is not allowed with a faulty unit.
•
Repair is not allowed.
•
If a failure is found in the periodic test, it must result in a safe state. The drive cannot guarantee a safe state so the test must be
conducted in a way that secures a safe state, for example, via a safety PLC.
Procedure
1.
Remove 24 V DC voltage supply at terminal 37.
