4.4.1 Details and parameterization
In conjunction with a machine function or in the event of a fault, the "Safe Torque Off" (STO)
function is used to safely disconnect the torque-generating energy supply to the motor.
A restart is prevented by the two-channel pulse suppression. The switching on inhibited
prevents an automatic restart after deselection of STO.
The two-channel pulse suppression function integrated in the Motor Modules / Power Modules
is the basis for this function.
