4.1  Safety Instructions

See 

chapter 2 Safety

 for general safety instructions.

4.2  Activation of STO

The STO function is activated by removing the voltage at
terminal 37 of the frequency converter. By connecting the
frequency converter to external safety devices providing a
safe delay, an installation for a Safe Stop 1 can be
obtained. External safety devices need to fulfill Cat./PL or
SIL when connected to terminal 37. The STO function can
be used for asynchronous, synchronous, and permanent
magnet motors.

When the STO function (terminal 37) is activated, the
frequency converter issues an alarm, trips the unit, and
coasts the motor to a stop. Manual restart is required. Use
the STO function to stop the frequency converter in
emergency stop situations. In normal operating mode
when STO is not required, use the standard stop function
instead. Ensure that requirements according to ISO 12100
paragraph 6.3.3.2.5 are fulfilled before using the automatic
restart function.

4.3  Parameter Settings for STO in

Combination with VLT

®

 PTC Thermistor

Card MCB 112

When MCB 112 is connected, additional selections are
available for 

5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop

 (

[4] PTC 1 Alarm

 to

[9] PTC 1 & Relay W/A

). 

Selections 

[1]* Safe Stop Alarm

 and 

[3] Safe Stop

Warning

 are still available, but are for installations

without MCB 112 or any external safety devices.
If 

[1]* Safe Stop Alarm

 or 

[3] Safe Stop Warning

 are

selected and MCB 112 is triggered, the frequency
converter reacts with an alarm 

Dangerous Failure

[A72]

 and coasts the motor safely, without

automatic restart.

Selections 

[4] PTC 1 Alarm

 and 

[5] PTC 1 Warning

are not to be selected when an external safety
device is used. Those selections are for when only
MCB 112 uses the STO.
If selection 

[4] PTC 1 Alarm

 or 

[5] PTC 1 Warning

 is

selected and the external safety device triggers
STO, the frequency converter issues an alarm

Dangerous Failure [A72]

 and coasts the motor

safely, without automatic restart.

Select 

[6] PTC 1 & Relay A

 to 

[9] PTC 1 & Relay W/A

for the combination of external safety device and
MCB 112. 

CAUTION

Selections allow for automatic restart when the external
safety device is de-activated.

Before selecting 

[7] PTC 1 & Relay W

 or 

[8] PTC 1 & Relay

A/W

, ensure that:

The unintended restart prevention is
implemented by other parts of the STO instal-
lation, or

A presence in the dangerous zone can be
physically excluded when STO is not activated.
In particular, paragraph 6.3.3.2.5 of ISO
12100:2010 must be observed.

See 

VLT

®

 PTC Thermistor Card MCB 112 Operating

Instructions

 for further information.

4.4  Automatic/Manual Restart Behaviour

By default the STO function is set to unintended restart
prevention behaviour. To terminate STO and resume
normal operation:

1.

Reapply 24 V DC supply to Terminal 37.

2.

Give a reset signal (via Bus, Digital I/O, or [Reset]
key).

Set the STO function to automatic restart by setting the
value of 

5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop

 from default value 

[1]*

Safe Stop Alarm

 to value 

[3] Safe Stop Warning

.

Automatic restart means that STO is terminated, and
normal operation is resumed, as soon as the 24 V DC is
applied to terminal 37. No reset signal is required. 

4.5  STO Commissioning Test

After installation and before first operation, perform a
commissioning test of the installation, using STO.
Perform the test again after each modification of the
installation or application involving the STO.

NOTICE

A succesful commissioning test of the STO function is
required after the initial installation, and after each
subsequent change to the installation.
