Implementing the Safe Torque Off function
The drive supports the Safe Torque Off function according to standards
EN 61800-5-2:2007; EN 954-1:1997; IEC/EN 60204-1:1997; EN 61508:2002 and
EN 1037:1996.
The Safe Torque Off function disables the control voltage of the power
semiconductors of the drive output stage, thus preventing the inverter from
generating the voltage required to rotate the motor (see diagram below). By using
this function, short-time operations (like cleaning) and/or maintenance work on non-
electrical parts of the machinery can be performed without switching off the power
supply to the drive.
