SAFETY FUNCTIONS
7.1.8 Overspeed
When the rotational speed of the STP pump exceeds 58,000 rpm due to a failure in the motor driver,
the STP pump decelerates and stops. When the rotational speed increases and exceeds 59,000 rpm,
the STP pump changes into free-running and stops.
The "STATUS" LED flashes in red, and a failure signal is output from the "X2 REMOTE" connector.
