Kinetix 5500 Safe Torque Off - Hardwired Safety
The 2198-Hxxx-ERS servo drives are equipped for hardwired Safe Torque Off
(STO). The hardwired STO function meets the requirements of Performance
Level d (PLd) and safety category 3 (CAT 3) per ISO 13849-1, and SIL 2 per
IEC 61508, IEC 61800-5-2, and IEC 62061.
A ControlLogix® 5570, ControlLogix 5580, CompactLogix™ 5370, or
CompactLogix 5380 controller is required for hardwired safety control of the
Kinetix® 5500 Safe Torque Off function. The 2198-Hxxx-ERS servo drives use
the STO connector for wiring external safety devices and cascading hardwired
safety connections from one drive to another.
Certification The TÜV Rheinland group has approved 2198-Hxxx-ERS servo drives with
hardwired Safe Torque Off for use in safety-related applications up to
ISO 13849-1, Performance Level d (PLd) and Category 3, SIL CL 2 per IEC 61508,
IEC 61800-5-2, and IEC 62061, in which removing the motion producing power
is considered to be the safe state.

Important Safety Considerations
You, the system user, are responsible for the following:
• Validation of any sensors or actuators that are connected to the system
• Completing a machine-level risk assessment
• Certification of the machine to the desired ISO 13849-1 Performance
Level or IEC 62061 SIL level
• Project management and proof testing in accordance with
ISO 13849
