Safety
2.2 Danger and Warnings
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM POWER UNIT COMPONENTS
The power unit components are live when the drive is connected to mains. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
Do not touch the components of the power unit when the drive is connected to mains. Before connecting the drive to mains,
-
make sure that the covers of the drive are closed.
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM TERMINALS
The motor terminals U, V, W, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals are live when the drive is connected to mains, also
when the motor does not operate. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or serious injury.
Do not touch the motor terminals U, V, W, the brake resistor terminals, or the DC terminals when the drive is connected to
-
mains. Before connecting the drive to mains, make sure that the covers of the drive are closed.
D A N G E R
SHOCK HAZARD FROM DC LINK OR EXTERNAL SOURCE
The terminal connections and the components of the drive can be live 5 minutes after the drive is disconnected from the mains
and the motor has stopped. Also the load side of the drive can generate voltage. A contact with this voltage can lead to death or
serious injury.
Before doing electrical work on the drive:
-
Disconnect the drive from the mains and make sure that the motor has stopped.
Lock out and tag out the power source to the drive.
Make sure that no external source generates unintended voltage during work.
Wait 5 minutes before opening the cabinet door or the cover of the AC drive.
Use a measuring device to make sure that there is no voltage.
The control terminals can have a dangerous voltage also when the drive is disconnected from mains. A contact with this voltage
can lead to injury.
Make sure that there is no voltage in the control terminals before touching the control terminals.
-
W A R N I N G
ACCIDENTAL MOTOR START
When there is a power-up, a power break, or a fault reset, the motor starts immediately if the start signal is active, unless the pulse
control for Start/Stop logic is selected. If the parameters, the applications or the software change, the I/O functions (including the
start inputs) can change. If you activate the auto reset function, the motor starts automatically after an automatic fault reset. See
the Application Guide. Failure to ensure that the motor, system, and any attached equipment are ready for start can result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
Disconnect the motor from the drive if an accidental start can be dangerous. Make sure that the equipment is safe to operate
-
under any condition.
W A R N I N G
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Leakage currents exceed 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the drive properly can result in death or serious injury.
Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment by a certified electrical installer.
-
W A R N I N G
SHOCK HAZARD FROM PE CONDUCTOR
The drive can cause a DC current in the PE conductor. Failure to use a residual current-operated protective (RCD) device Type B or
a residual current-operated monitoring (RCM) device can lead to the RCD not providing the intended protection and therefore
can result in death or serious injury.
Use a type B RCD or RCM device on the mains side of the drive.
-
2.3 Cautions and Notices

Ensure the correct grounding of the equipment by a certified electrical installer.
-
Safety
The standard EN 61800-5-1 tells that 1 or more of these conditions for the protective circuit must be true.
The connection must be fixed.
•
The protective earthing conductor must have a cross-sectional area of minimum 10 mm2 Cu or 16 mm2 Al. OR
•
There must be an automatic disconnection of the mains, if the protective earthing conductor breaks. OR
•
There must be a terminal for a second protective earthing conductor in the same cross-sectional area as the first protective
earthing conductor.
The values of the table are valid only if the protective earthing conductor is made of the same metal as the phase conductors. If this
is not so, the cross-sectional area of the protective earthing conductor must be determined in a manner that produces a conductance equivalent to that which results from the application of this table.
The cross-sectional area of each protective earthing conductor that is not a part of the mains cable or the cable enclosure, must be a
minimum of:
•
2.5 mm2 if there is mechanical protection, and
•
4 mm2 if there is not mechanical protection. With cord-connected equipment, make sure that the protective earthing conductor
in the cord is the last conductor to be interrupted, if the strain-relief mechanism breaks.
Obey the local regulations on the minimum size of the protective earthing conductor.
MALFUNCTION OF FAULT CURRENT PROTECTIVE SWITCHES
Because there are high capacitive currents in the AC drive, it is possible that the fault current protective switches do not operate
correctly.
Doing voltage withstand tests can damage the drive.
Do not do voltage withstand tests on the AC drive. The manufacturer has already done the tests.
-
W A R N I N G
SHOCK HAZARD FROM PE CONDUCTOR
The drive can cause a DC current in the PE conductor. Failure to use a residual current-operated protective (RCD) device Type B or
a residual current-operated monitoring (RCM) device can lead to the RCD not providing the intended protection and therefore
can result in death or serious injury.
Use a type B RCD or RCM device on the mains side of the drive.
The Advanced safety option board is used to implement safety functions in accordance with the standard EN IEC 61800-5-2. The
option board handles the safe I/O and the monitoring of active safety functions. The option board does not handle the control of
the AC drive. The AC drive can be controlled, for example, with the drive application, or the external process control system can give
the speed reference to the AC drive.
The Advanced safety option board must be used with a subsystem that provides the STO function, it is not possible to use the
Advanced safety option board alone. The STO function is provided, for example, by the OPTAF STO option board. To use the safety
functions that do speed monitoring, an external speed sensor is necessary. The sensor can be a digital or an analog encoder or a
digital proximity sensor. See chapter Speed Measurement.
The Advanced safety option board can be used with the digital I/O and over safe fieldbus. Using a safe fieldbus allows you to control
more safety functions than is possible with the limited number of inputs and outputs that the Advanced safety option board has.
When using a safe fieldbus, install an option board that supports the fieldbus. See 7.1.1 Introduction to PROFIsafe.
The Illustration 4 shows the configuration of the AC drive with the Advanced safety option board in slot C. The safe fieldbus and the
closed-loop control are optional. The possible configuration and available features can depend on other option boards and their
installation slots. For use cases with other encoder board installed in slot C, see 3.6.4 Encoders.
Illustration 4: An example configuration of the VACON® NXP drive with the Advanced safety option board. The subsystems that handle safety
actions are marked in gray.
The parameterization of the option board is done by selecting and editing the safety functions and features with the VACON® Safe
tool. See
5.4 Setting the Parameters and chapter Parameter List.
3.2 The Safe State
There must be a safe state to which the system can be set when necessary. Usually the safe state is reached when the AC drive does
not generate torque to the motor shaft. In the Advanced safety option board, this is realized by the Safe Torque Off (STO) safety
function.
In some systems, the active STO function in the AC drive does not create a safe state. It means that external forces can generate
torque to the motor shaft and cause it to rotate. To achieve the safe state in these systems, additional means are necessary. For
example, it is possible to use the STO function and a mechanical brake. The brake can be used with the Safe Brake Control (SBC)
safety function of the Advanced option board, or with another safe control system for the brake.
The Advanced safety option board forces the AC drive to the safe state, for example, if there is an error detected in the safety system. Other situations when the safe state is enforced are, for example, the parameterization phase and during the start-up of the
drive.
Overview of the System
3.3 Integration and Interfaces to Other Systems
When the Advanced safety option board is integrated to a safety system, the system designer and/or the operator is responsible for
these things:
•
Making an initial system-level risk assessment and reassessing the system any time a change is made.
•
The setup and suitability of parameters, sensors, and actuators used in the system.
•
Validation of the system to the correct safety level.
•
Maintenance and periodic testing.
•
Controlling the access to the system, including password handling.
External systems can collect information from the Advanced safety option board in a few different ways.
The option board related fault and violation information is available in the fault log of the AC drive like other faults. This data must
be interpreted differently to the fault data of the AC drive. See chapter Fault tracing.
The option board has configurable outputs where desired information can be set to be sent to external systems.
The status data can be received over a safe fieldbus.
3.4 Determining the Achieved Safety Level
W A R N I N G
SAFETY AWARENESS IN DESIGN
This chapter is an example and contains simplifications. Using only this data in designing the system can damage the equipment.
Do not use this chapter as a template for designing your system.
-
Perform the design work carefully.
-
The achieved safety level depends on the whole safety chain. The AC drive with integrated safety functions is only one component
in the safety chain.
The things related to the AC drive that affect the achieved safety level:
•
The used speed measurement combination.
•
The implementation of the violation response and of the fault response. In most cases it is realized via the STO option board
(the OPTAF option board for the VACON® NX products).
The components of the safety chain that affect the achieved safety level:
•
The controllers (for example, the safety PLC) that control the safety functions
•
The stop switches
•
The wiring
EXAMPLE
Implementation of the STO safety function, consisting of these subsystems.
•
Emergency stop switch: Pilz PIT es Set/1-family using two N/C contacts. B10d = 104 000 (EN ISO 13849-1) and λd/ λ = 0.20 (EN IEC
62061) for one channel.

Illustration 5: A Logical Presentation of the STO Safety Function
Overview of the System
In this example case, the STO function has one activation per day, and a lifetime of 20 years. For the emergency stop switch, β = 10%
is used as the susceptibility to common cause failure between the channels. No proof test is executed during the lifetime. The example system is limited to Category 3 because the Category 3 element OPTAF option board is used as a single final element.

This value is calculated directly from the values provided by the manufacturer. The diagnostic capabilities of OPTBL have not been taken into ac-
count. The calculation formula: PFHd = (1- β)2 x λ

The OPTBL executes "Cross monitoring of inputs without dynamic test", DC: 0%...99%, depending on how often a signal change is done by the
application. A DC of 90% is assumed with the once a day activation.

Newer versions of the Advanced Safety Option have extended slot compatibility. The table Table 4 describes the supported slots for
different revisions of the option board. The compatibility is determined by the revision of the board 70CVB01938 (141X4588). See
Illustration 6 for the location of the revision information.

It is possible to use the digital inputs for selecting ramps and for activating, acknowledging, and resetting safety functions. The twoterminal digital outputs can be used as output signals of the SBC or the SSM function, or configured by combining various signals of
the option board.
If a connected device is powered by an external power supply, make sure that there is common ground between the device and the
Advanced safety option board.
