Appendix: Safe torque off (STO) 403
24 V auxiliary voltage load (I/O, panel load, used fieldbus or STO circuits; max.
200 mA) of the drive supplying the STO circuit (see section Control connection data
on page 369). When using external supply, all analog grounds (AGND) of the drives
must be chained together.
Note: Daisy chaining lowers the total system safety integrity level, which needs to be
calculated case by case for each system.
Start-up and commissioning
Always test the operation and reaction of the STO function before commissioning.
