17-2 Safe Torque Off Terminal Function Description 
Table 17-1 describes the STO (Safe Torque Off) related terminal functions. 
When the STO function is not 
used, you can disable the 
STO function by shorting S1 
and S2 with + 24 V. 
Output voltage range: +24 V ± 10%   
Output voltage capacity: 100 mA

the keypad 
Table 17-2: Action logic and keypad display description 
  STO means channel 1 and 2 operate simultaneously and enter Safe Torque Off. 
  STL1 means channel 1 operates. 
  STL2 means channel 2 operates. 
  STL3 means there is an error detected in the internal loop of the channel 1 or channel 2.   
  S1–DCM / S2–DCM ON: means S1–DCM / S2–DCM inputs a power supply > 11 V
DC
. 
  S1–DCM / S2–DCM OFF: means S1–DCM / S2–DCM inputs a power supply < 5 V
