Further information
In order to prevent inadvertent inhibition of the "STO" function in the FSA ... FSC converter, we
recommend protecting the associated switch with a cable tie.

Application examples for "Safe Torque Off"
Overview
A higher-level control system is required to select the STO safety function.
Preconditions
Basic prerequisites
● The digital outputs for the feedback of STO are correctly parameterized.
Setting the feedback signal for Safe Torque Off (Page 298)
● The higher-level control system monitors the selection of the STO safety function and the
feedback from the converter.
● Forced checking procedure (test stop):
The higher-level control system regularly selects the STO safety function and evaluates the
converter feedback signal.
We recommend that you implement a time monitoring function in the higher-level control
system, which issues an alarm if a test stop is overdue.
