8.6.2 STO Terminal 37 (Terminal 37 is Fixed PNP Logic)
Voltage level, logic 0 PNP
Voltage level, logic 1 PNP
Typical input current at 24 V
Typical input current at 20 V
All digital inputs are galvanically isolated from the supply voltage (PELV) and other high-voltage terminals.
See 4.7.1 Safe Torque Off (STO) for further information about terminal 37 and Safe Torque Off.
When using a contactor with a DC coil inside in combination with STO, it is important to make a return way for the current from the
coil when turning it off. This can be done by using a freewheel diode (or, alternatively, a 30 V or 50 V MOV for quicker response time)
across the coil. Typical contactors can be bought with this diode.
