What safety functions does the OPTAF option board provide?
The OPTAF option board provides Safe Torque Off (STO) and Safe Stop 1 (SS1) safety functions, along with motor thermistor overtemperature protection for ATEX certified motors.
What standards does the STO safety function comply with?
The STO safety function is designed for use in accordance with EN 61800-5-2 (SIL3), EN ISO 13849-1 (PL 'e' Category 3), EN 62061 (SILCL3), and IEC 61508 (SIL3).
What standards does the SS1 safety function comply with?
The SS1 safety function is designed for use in accordance with EN 61800-5-2 (SIL3), EN ISO 13849-1 (PL 'e' Category 3), EN 62061 (SILCL3), and IEC 61508 (SIL3).
How is the STO safety function achieved?
The STO safety function is achieved by disabling the drive modulation through two independent paths controlled by SD1 and SD2 inputs, preventing the drive from generating torque.
What is the principle of the Safe Stop 1 (SS1) function?
SS1 initiates motor deceleration and then activates the STO function after a user-set time delay, corresponding to a controlled stop (stop category 1).
What is the purpose of the thermistor input on the OPTAF board?
The thermistor input is for overtemperature detection of ATEX certified motors, acting as a tripping device.
What are the input voltage levels for the STO function?
The input voltage for logic 1 is typically 24 V (11-30 V), and for logic 0 it is typically 0 V (-3-3 V).
What is the response time for the STO safety function?
The activation time for the STO safety function is less than 20 ms, and the de-activation time is 1000 ms.
How is the thermistor input disabled if not used?
If the thermistor input is not used, it must be disabled by making a short circuit to the terminals and setting jumper X10 to the 'OFF' state.
What is the maximum voltage and current for the thermistor input?
The maximum voltage for the thermistor input is 10 V, and the maximum current is 6.7 mA.
