SAFE TORQUE OFF SAFETY FUNCTiON
(TRANSLATION OF ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
)
7.1. Application
The Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function of the DR2020 has been manufactured with a redundant circuit incorporated into the
control board.
The STO function must only be used according to the instructions in this Manual.
7.2. Risk assessment of the installation
The functional safety requirements of a drive depend on the application, and must be considered during the overall risk
assessment of the installation. Where the supplier of the drive is not responsible for powered devices, the subject designing the
installation is responsible for a risk assessment, and for specifying requirements relative to the functional integrity levels and
safety integrity levels (SIL) of the drive according to CEI EN 62061:2005 and/or performance levels (PL) according to EN ISO
13849-1:2008.
The table below, identical to Table 4 of UNI EN ISO 13849-1:2008, shows the relationship between PL and SIL.

INFORMATION
SIL 4 refers to catastrophic events,; Therefore it does not involve risks relative to machines.
The risk assessment of the machine must be carried out according to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, referring to UNI
EN ISO 12100:2010 and must contain the con
�
