Overview
The PowerFlex 700H control board, 24V DC Digital Input with Analog I/O
(20C-DA1-A) board, and the Safe Torque Off option board (20C-DG01), when
used with other safety components, helps provide a hardware-based safe torque
off to prevent torque on the motor shaft.
The Safe Torque Off option is just one component in a safety control system.
Components in the system must be chosen and applied appropriately to achieve
the desired level of operator safeguarding.
What is the Safe Torque Off
Option?
The Safe Torque Off option is designed to safely remove power from the gate
firing circuits of the drive’s output power devices (IGBT’s). This helps prevent
the drive’s output power devices from switching in the sequence necessary to
generate torque in the motor.
IMPORTANT
This option is suitable for performing mechanical work on the drive
system or affected area of a machine only. It does not provide electrical
safety.
This option should not be used as a control for starting and/or stopping
the drive.
ATTENTION: Electrical Shock Hazard. Verify that all sources of AC and DC
power are de-energized and locked out or tagged out in accordance with
the requirements of ANSI/NFPA 70E, Part II.
ATTENTION: To avoid an electric shock hazard, verify that the voltage on
the bus capacitors has discharged completely before servicing. Check the
DC bus voltage at the Power Terminal Block by measuring between the +DC
and -DC terminals, between the +DC terminal and the chassis, and
between the -DC terminal and the chassis. The voltage must be zero for all
three measurements.
ATTENTION: In Safe Torque Off mode, hazardous voltages may still be
present at the motor. To avoid an electric shock hazard, disconnect power to
the motor and verify that the voltage is zero before performing any work on
the motor.

Important Safety
Considerations
The system user is responsible for:
• the set-up, safety rating, and validation of any sensors or actuators
connected to the system.
• completing a system-level risk assessment and reassessing the system any
time a change is made.
• certification of the system to the desired safety performance level.
• project management and proof testing.
• programming the application software and the safety option
configurations in accordance with the information in this manual.
• access control to the system, including password handling.
• analyzing all configuration settings and choosing the proper setting to
achieve the required safety rating.
IMPORTANT
When applying Functional Safety, restrict access to qualified, authorized
personnel who are trained and experienced.
ATTENTION: When designing your system, consider how personnel will
exit the machine if the door locks while they are in the machine.
Additional safeguarding devices may be required for your specific
application.
