VLT® Safety Option MCB 140/141
Integrate the most important safety functions in a single, compact device that works with all drives.
MCB 141 – for external mounting outside the drive
enabling use of the MCB 140 functionality if another
B- option is installed.

saving on wiring can be
achieved in low safetycritical applications,
compared to traditional
dual-channel solutions.
The VLT® Safety Option MCB 140/141
series expands the Safe Torque O
(STO) function that is integrated into
the drive, by adding a safe measurement of the ramp-down time, also
called SS1, Safe Stop 1.
The MCB 140/141 has been designed
to provide drive-integrated safety
without needing to change the
overall safety concept. This means
that the option can be commissioned
and used in a similar way as external
safety devices. By integrating the

Scalable from single channel PL c to dual channel PL e
Internal and external version available
No need to power cycle the drive after a demand on the

Three logic safe inputs
Maintenance can be performed while the machine is still
in motion
Safe Torque O (STO)
Safe Stop 1 (SS1)
Monitors ramp down time and shuts o the torque
Safely Limited Speed (SLS)
Monitors whether a specied velocity is exceeded

Less wiring, fewer external components, only pay for
what you need.
Use the same safety concept no matter which drive is
used.
Minimized wear on the drive, longer lifetime
expectancy and reliability.
A dedicated input for each safety function, easy to
connect without needing an additional safety
component.
Minimize time and eort required for service
and installation work.
Prevention of unexpected startup without
power contactors. No maintenance needed.
Controlled ramp-down results in faster standstill
compared to STO, without losing all benets of the
STO.
Makes it possible to work safely with the guards
open.
Reduce set-up times thanks to a better view into the
set-up area.
Greater operational safety by means of safely limited
set-up speed.
Protect your machine from destruction due to
over-speed.
Use this output to control movable guard
interlocking devices. Enables the user to enter the
machine only if it is in standstill.
Show the user that it is safe to enter the machine.
Check wiring, connectors and switches for
correct function. Higher ecient failure
nding resulting in less downtime.

Highly scalable, the VLT® Safety
Option MCB 140/141 can adapt to
your exact needs. In less critical
applications the option can be
congured as a single channel
system, which saves wiring and costs.
In more critical applications it can be
congured as a two-channel system.
Extensive built-in diagnostics help
nd failures quickly and reduce downtime. To enable diagnostics by using
dynamic signals, the MCB 140
features two pulsed outputs, making
it possible to nd wiring faults.
