safety issue. This situation does not apply to asynchronous
motors.
5.3.1 Liability Conditions
The user is responsible for ensuring that personnel know
how to install and operate the Safe Torque Off function by:
•
Reading and understanding the safety regulations
concerning health and safety/accident prevention.
•
Understanding the generic and safety guidelines
given in this description and the extended
description in the
VLT
®
Frequency Converters –
Safe Torque Off Operating Guide
.
•
Having a good knowledge of the generic and
safety standards for the specific application.
The user is defined as integrator, operator, service, and
maintenance staff.
5.3.2 Additional Information

5.3.3 Installation of External Safety Device
in Combination with VLT
®
PTC
Thermistor Card MCB 112
If the ex-certified thermistor module MCB 112, which uses
terminal 37 as its safety-related switch-off channel, is
connected, then the output X44/12 of MCB 112 must be
AND-ed with a safety-related sensor (emergency stop key
or safety-guard switch) that activates Safe Torque Off. The
output to Safe Torque Off terminal 37 is high (24 V) only if
both the signal from MCB 112 output X44/12 and the
signal from the safety-related sensor are high. If at least 1
of the 2 signals are low, then the output to terminal 37
must be low, too. The safety device with this AND logic
itself must conform to IEC 61508, SIL 2. The connection
from the output of the safety device with safe AND logic
to Safe Torque Off terminal 37 must be short circuit
protected.

Parameter settings for external safety device
with MCB 112
If MCB 112 is connected, then selections [4] through [9]
become possible for
parameter 5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop
(Terminal 37 Safe Torque Off).
Selections
[1]* Safe Stop Alarm
and
[3] Safe Stop Warning
in
parameter 5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop
are still available, but
are used only for installations without MCB 112 or any
external safety devices. If
[1]* Safe Stop Alarm
or
[3] Safe
Stop Warning
in
parameter 5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop
is
selected by mistake and MCB 112 is triggered, then the
frequency converter reacts with
alarm 72, Dangerous Failure
and coasts the frequency converter safely without an
automatic restart.
Selections [4] and [5]
parameter 5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop
are only selected when MCB 112 uses the Safe Torque Off.
If selections
[4] PTC 1 Alarm
or
[5] PTC 1 Warning
in
parameter 5-19 Terminal 37 Safe Stop
is selected by mistake
and the external safety device triggers Safe Torque Off, the
frequency converter reacts with
alarm 72, Dangerous Failure
and coasts the frequency converter safely without an
automatic restart.
Selections [6] through [9] in
parameter 5-19 Terminal 37
Safe Stop
must be selected for the combination of external
safety device and MCB 112.
