This operating guide provides information on the functional safety features of the iC7 drives and is targeted at users already familiar with the Danfoss iC7 series. It is intended as a supplement to the drive-specific guides. The guide includes instructions on how to verify that the built-in functional safety features are active, and about configuring the safety features.
Series Functional Safety Operating Guide Safety 2 Safety 2.1 Qualified Personnel for Working with Functional Safety Only qualified personnel can install, configure, commission, maintain, and decommission functional safety features and functions. Qualified personnel for working with functional safety features are qualified electrical engineers, or persons who have received training from qualified electrical engineers, and are suitably experienced to operate devices, systems, plants, and machinery in ac- cordance with the general standards and guidelines for safety technology.
Series Functional Safety Operating Guide iC7 Functional Safety Configurable security features can be adjusted according to application requirements. Depending on the software version of the frequency converter, the parameters can be password-protected. 3.5 Frequency Converters with Functional Safety Group 1 (Not Upgradable) Frequency converters with STO (+BEF1) provide the Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function with a dual-channel, galvanically isolated input, and an STO feedback signal for diagnostic purposes.

In this case the load could be a digital input of a PLC.
Series Functional Safety Operating Guide Installation The frequency converter is shipped without any wiring to the functional safety I/O terminals. As a result, all safe inputs are de-ener- gized and STO is active. If the STO safety function is not needed, wire the terminal block as shown in...
