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 (S13-S14 &
S21-S22) to the Minotaur monitoring safety relay unit. The output circuits
(13-14 & 23-24) will cause the Safe Torque Off option and 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.
Fault Detection
A single fault detected on the Minotaur safety input circuits will result in the
lock-out of the system at the next operation and will not cause loss of the
safety function.
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.
