1) Energized: STO_FB+ ⇨ STO_FB- circuit closed = current flow = logical "0" with low side driver configuration. De-energized: STO_FB+ ⇨ STO_FB- circuit open = no current flow =
logical "1" with low side driver configuration.

It can also be used as a digital output for providing a status signal. In this case, the load could be a digital input of a PLC.
STO and STO feedback are activated when 1 or both safe input channels are de-energized.

Additional information
The bootloader does not communicate and does not
know the state of the STO output on the power units.
At startup, the communication is not yet established
and the safe input card does not know the state of the
safe output on the power units.
Indicates a severe issue, for example in the STO cir-
cuitry. It cannot be assumed that the Safety IO knows
that all STO outputs are de-energized.
Triggered when a fatal internal issue has occurred, for
example, a CPU or RAM fault. The operation cannot be
guaranteed, and it cannot be assumed that the safe
outputs can be de-energized.
