Grouping drives 
To ensure that the function works for more than one drive at the same time, the terminals for 
the corresponding drives must be grouped together as follows: 
1.  Switch-off signal path 
By appropriately interconnecting the binector input to a joint input terminal for the drives 
to be combined to form a group. 
2.  Switch-off signal path (Motor Module / Power Module) 
By appropriately wiring the terminals for the individual Motor Modules / Power Modules 
belonging to the group. 
Note 
Parameterization of the grouping
 
The grouping must be configured (DI on Control Unit) and wired (EP terminals) identically in 
both monitoring channels. 
 
Response of STO for grouping
 
If a fault in a drive results in a "Safe Torque Off" (STO), this does not automatically mean that 
the other drives in the same group also switch to "Safe Torque Off" (STO). 
The assignment is checked during the test for the switch-off signal paths. The operator 
selects "Safe Torque Off" for each group. The check is drive-specific.
