8-1-1 Safety Input Signals
There are 2 safety input circuits to operate the STO function.
• When safety input 1 or 2 turns “OFF,” the STO function will start operating within 5 ms of the input,
and the motor output force will be reduced to 0.
• Connect the equipment so that the safety input circuit is turned “OFF” to operate the STO function.
• Set the operation when the safety input turns “OFF” in the Fault reaction option code (605E hex).
Precautions for Correct UsePrecautions for Correct Use
L pulses for self-diagnosis of safety device
When you connect a safety device, such as a safety controller or a safety sensor, the safety
output signal of the device may include L pulses for self-diagnosis. To avoid malfunction due
to the L pulses for self-diagnosis, a filter that removes the L pulses is built into the safety
input circuit. If the OFF time of the safety input signal is 1 ms or less, the safety input circuit
does not recognize it as “OFF.” To make sure that “OFF” is recognized, maintain the OFF
status of safety input signal for at least 5 ms.
