Circuit Status

Circuit shown with guard door closed and system ready for normal drive
operation.

Operating Principle

This is a dual channel system with monitoring of the Safe Torque Off circuit and
drive. Opening the guard door will switch the input circuits (S11-S12 & S21-
S22) to the Minotaur monitoring safety relay unit. The output circuits (13-14 &
23-24) cause the drive Enable circuit to trip and the motor will coast to stop. To
restart the drive, the Minotaur safety relay must first be reset followed by a valid
start command to the drive.

Application Considerations

When the hazard analysis for the overall machine determines the need for
external mechanical brakes or other stopping means, the external means shall be
activated after the removal of power for Stop Category 0.

If the Safe Torque Off option sticks ON, the motor will stop on command due to
the enable input. The system cannot be reset when this fault condition exists.
