Application examples for the STO function
The STO function is suitable for applications where the motor is already at a standstill or will
come to a standstill in a short, safe period of time through friction. STO does not shorten the
run-on of machine components with high inertia.
Examples
Possible solution
When the Emergency Stop button is
pressed, a stationary motor should not
unintentionally start.
● Interconnect the Emergency Stop pushbutton with a fail-
safe inverter digital input.
● Select STO via the fail-safe digital input.
A central Emergency Stop button must
prevent the unintentional acceleration
of several motors that are at a stand‐
still.
● Evaluate the Emergency Stop button in a central control.
● Select STO via PROFIsafe.
