Troubleshooting the Safe Torque-off Function

PFD and PFH Definitions

Safety-related systems can be classified as operating in either a Low Demand
mode, or in a High Demand/Continuous mode:

Low Demand mode: where the frequency of demands for operation made

on a safety-related system is no greater than one per year or no greater than
twice the proof-test frequency.

High Demand/Continuous mode: where the frequency of demands for

operation made on a safety-related system is greater than once per year or
greater than twice the proof test interval.

The SIL value for a low demand safety-related system is directly related to order-
of-magnitude ranges of its average probability of failure to satisfactorily perform
its safety function on demand or, simply, average probability of failure on demand
(PFD). The SIL value for a High Demand/Continuous mode safety-related
system is directly related to the probability of a dangerous failure occurring per
hour (PFH).

PFD and PFH Data

These PFD and PFH calculations are based on the equations from EN 61508
and show worst-case values.

This table provides data for a 20-year proof test interval and demonstrates the
worst-case effect of various configuration changes on the data.

Safe torque-off function
mismatch. Drive will not
allow motion.

Loose wiring at safe torque-off (STO)

connector.

Cable/header not seated properly in

safe torque-off (STO) connector.

Safe torque-off circuit missing +24V

DC.

Verify wire terminations, cable/header

connections, and +24V.

Reset error and run proof test.
If error persists, return the drive to Rockwell

Automation.

ATTENTION: The safe torque-off fault (E39) is detected upon demand of the
safe torque-off function. After troubleshooting, a proof test must be performed
to verify correct operation.
