Vertical Axis and External Forces
When the safety function STO is triggered, the power stage is immediately disabled. In the case of vertical
applications or external forces acting on the motor shaft, you may have to take additional measures to bring
the motor to a standstill and to keep it at a standstill when the safety function STO is used, for example, by
using a service brake.
