Safe Torque Off
9.5.2
Safety Capability Cat. 3 / PL
e
/ SIL 3
The safety capability is reduced to Cat. 3 / PL e / SIL 3 if the STO inputs are statically used(which
means they are forced to commute together).
Both STO inputs and the STO feedback have to be used. The same warnings and cabling instruction
of 9.5.1 apply.
9.5.3
Safety Capability Cat. 2 / PL
d
/ SIL 2
The safety capability is even more reduced to Cat. 2 / PL d / SIL 2 if the STO inputs are connected in
parallel (no redundancy of the STO inputs).
The STO feedback has to be used. The same warnings of 9.5.1 apply.The picture below shows an
example of connection for the STO function. The external device has to be connected with 4 wires
to the drive.

in parallel. (*) Only for MU3.
