Selecting/deselecting "Safe Torque Off" 
The following is executed when "Safe Torque Off" is selected: 
●  Each monitoring channel triggers safe pulse suppression via its switch-off signal path. 
●  A motor holding brake is closed (if connected and configured). 
If "Safe Torque Off" is deselected, this is treated as an internal safe acknowledgment. The 
following processes occur: 
●  Each monitoring channel cancels safe pulse suppression via its switch-off signal path. 
●  The safety prompt "Apply motor holding brake" is canceled. 
●  Any pending STOP F or STOP A commands are canceled (see r9772/r9872). 
●  The cause of the fault must be remedied. 
●  The messages in the fault memory also need to be reset using the general 
acknowledgment mechanism. 
Note 
If "Safe Torque Off" is selected and deselected again through one channel within the time 
in p9650/p9850, the pulses are suppressed, but no messages are output. 
If you want a message to be displayed in this case, however, you have to reconfigure 
N01620/N30620 via p2118 and p2119 as an alarm or fault. 
Restart after the "Safe Torque Off" function has been selected 
1. Deselect the function. 
2. Set drive enables. 
3. Cancel "Switching On Inhibited" and switch the drive back on. 
–  1/0 edge at input signal "ON/OFF1" (cancel "Switching On Inhibited") 
–  0/1 edge at input signal "ON/OFF1" (switch on drive) 
Status for "Safe Torque Off" 
The status of the "Safe Torque Off" (STO) function is displayed via parameters r9772, r9872, 
r9773, and r9774. 
As an alternative, the status of the function can be displayed using the configurable 
messages N01620 and N30620 (configured using p2118 and p2119). 
Response time with the "Safe Torque Off" function 
For the response times when the function is selected/deselected via input terminals, see the
