A processor circuit and PWM circuit will switch the IGBT withrotary field orientation. Between control logic and power module, optocouplers orpulse transmitters are used for potential separationOn the Compax3M drive controller with S1 option, the X14 (STO) connector can befound on the front plate. 2 optocouplers are controlled on two channels via theSTO1/ and STO2/ terminals of this connector. When requesting the STO via anexternal safety switching device, the two auxiliary voltage supply channels of thepower stage control circuits are switched off on two channels. Therefore the powertransistors (IGBTs) for the motor current can not longer be switched on.The hardware monitor detects a failure of the optocoupler circuit of a channel byalways checking both channels for similarity. If the hardware monitor detects adiscrepancy for a defined time (max. 20s), the error will be stored in the hardwarelatch The processor signals this error externally via the 0x5493 error code. An acti-vation of the coupler supply can then only take place via a hardware reset (swit-ching off and on again) of the device.*X14.4 STO_GNDX14.3 STO2/X14.2 STO-GNDX14.1 STO1/Hardware-Monitor+5V ControllerSoftware6 IGBTDriverPWMCompax3M ...S1* Potential separation with optocoupler.
