Kinetix 5700 Safe Torque-off Function
Chapter 9
Cascade the Safe Torque-off Signal
The total number of drives in a single cascaded safety circuit is limited by the
current carrying capacity of the cascaded safety wiring. Refer to
current rating per channel, per drive.
In this example, the cascaded safe torque-off (STO) wiring is for one single-axis
inverter application.
Figure 112 - Cascaded STO Wiring - Single-axis Inverter
In this example, the cascaded safe torque-off (STO) wiring is for one dual-axis
inverter application with a separate safety device for each axis.
