Function and application
The CMMP-AS-...-M0 motor controller exhibits the following safety-related features:
–
“Safe Torque Off ” function (STO),
–
Potential-free acknowledgement contact for the operating status,
By using an appropriate external safety switching device and protective circuit for the CMMPAS...M0
motor controller, the “Safe Stop 1” function (SS1) can be realised.
2.2.1
Description of the safety function STO
Use the “Safe torque off ” function (STO) whenever you have to reliably disconnect the energy supply to
the motor in your particular application.
The “Safe torque off ” function switches off the driver supply for the power semiconductor, thus
preventing the power output stage from supplying the current required by the motor
