6.11.14 Emergency stop monitoring
For the emergency stop routine of the iTNC 530 HSCI without functional 
safety (FS), the PLB has the PLC "control-is-ready" output X9/3a (-STO.A.G) and 
the two emergency stop inputs -ES.A (X9/7a) and -ES.B (X9/7b) (ES: 
Emergency Stop). The delayed control of the safety relay in the compact 
inverters or supply units (X71, X72) over the PLC output -STO.A.G is 
mandatory. Please read the corresponding basic circuit diagram.
The -STO.A.G output signalizes the readiness of the control and is = 1 until one 
of the following conditions is met:
 Controller unit reports fatal error
 Controller unit reports an error with an emergency stop as reaction
 Main computer reports fatal error
 Main computer reports an error with an emergency stop as reaction
 PLC, PLC program reports an error with an emergency stop as reaction
 No PLC program is run
As a result of these events, -STO.A.G  becomes  0. When the error message 
is acknowledged, -STO.A.G become 1 again and the control is again ready for 
operation. To prevent that the control then immediately goes into closed-loop 
mode, the -STO.A.G signal must be wired into the emergency stop chain 
(-ES.A, -ES.B). Switching -STO.A.G off must result in a switch-off of the -ES.A 
and -ES.B inputs. This triggers additionally an external emergency stop. In 
addition, -STO.A.G = 0 must remove the latch circuit of the machine control 
voltage. This makes it possible to switch the machine back on by means of 
"Control voltage on." 
On the PLB, for example, the -ES.A and -ES.B are available for triggering an 
emergency stop on the iTNC 530 HSCI with functional safety (FS). However, 
the wiring of the safety relays in the compact inverters or power supply units 
via the PLC outputs STO.A.G and STOS.A.G is then optional. Please note the 
special documentation for controls with functional safety (FS) an the 
corresponding basic circuit diagram!
Switching STO.A.G off must result in a switch-off of the -ES.A and -ES.B 
inputs.
