Note
In the event of damage caused by unauthorised manipulation or improper use, the
guarantee is invalidated and the manufacturer is not liable for damages.
1.1.3 Foreseeable misuse
The following foreseeable misuses are among those not approved as intended use:
– use outdoors,
– use in non-industrial areas (residential areas),
– use in a pplications where switching off can result in hazardous movements or conditions.
Note
– The STO func tion may not be used as the sole safety function for drives subject to
permanent torque or force (e.g. suspended loads).
– Bypassing of safety equipment is not allowed.
– Repairs to the motor controller are not allowed!
The S TO (S afe Torque Off ) function does not provide protection fromelectric shock, but
only against hazardous movements ( Description, mounting and installation,
GDCP-CMMS-ST-G2-HW-...)!
In applications with extremely high requirement rates, the service life of the switching elements must
be taken into account in the design (replacement interval f or the motor controller, Appendix A.1,
Tab. A.1 and Ta b. A.6).
1.1.4 Achievable s afety level, safety function in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1
The motor c ontroller CMMS-ST-...-G2 with integrated STO safety function fulfils the requirements of the
test regulations for
– Category 3 / PL e in ac c ordance with EN IS O 13849-1
and can be used in applications up to Cat. 3 / PL d in acc ordance with EN ISO 13849-1.
The achievable safety level depends on the other components used to implement th e safety funct io n.
