STO
The safe torque off (STO) function brings the machine safely into a no‑
torque state and prevents it from unexpected start. If the motor is
running when STO function is activated, it coasts to 0 RPM.
Safe state
Disabling the PWM gating signal of the drive
System reset
Resetting the servo system through resetting the power supply or
executing software reset
Proof test
Tests used to detect the failure of safety‑related systems
Mission time
Specified cumulative operating time of the safety‑related parts of the
servo drive during its overall lifetime
