Introduction
Functional Safety and ATEX applications
General
The variable speed drive ATV630, 650, 660 & 680, ATV930, 950, 960 & 980 integrates the STO (Safe
Torque Off) safety function which shuts off the motor torque safely. The use of the STO safety function
allows the drive to be installed as a part of the safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable
electronic control systems, dedicated to the safety of a machine or an industrial process.
The integrated safety function is compatible and certified following the information given in the Certification
for Functional Safety section
required for the safe functioning of equipment with respect to explosion risks.
The use of the STO safety function is required for the variable speed drive ATV630, 650, 660 & 680,
ATV930, 950, 960 & 980 to control and command motors installed in explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
The STO safety function is an ATEX certified function, according ATEX 94/9/EC directive and forthcoming
2014/34/EU directive.
(see page 11)
. It complies also with the EN 50495 (2010): Safety devices
Monitoring Of the ATEX Motor
The STO input(s) is (are) connected to the switching system which is embedded in the thermal sensor of
the ATEX motor (or connected to the switching system of the control system if ATEX sensors of PTC type
are used).
The variable speed drive ATV630, 650, 660 & 680, ATV930, 950, 960 & 980 intended to be used to
command and control asynchronous motors shall be installed only outside potentially explosive
atmospheres for the protection of explosion-protected motors.

ATEX zones
Classification
The European directive 1999/92/EC (also called ATEX 137, or directive for protection of workers) classifies
the ATEX zones and the type of products that they are compatible with. The user should define the ATEX
zone in which the ATEX motor will be installed.
This equipment has been designed to operate outside of any hazardous location. Only install this
equipment in zones known to be free of a hazardous atmosphere.
Different wiring diagrams for installation are suggested in this document. They are compatible with the use
of motors in ATEX zones 1/21 or 2/22
The following table summarizes characteristics related to each ATEX zone

General
NOTE: Neither electrical equipment nor motors can be installed in ATEX zone 0 or 20.
The European directive 94/9/EC and forthcoming 2014/34/UE (also called ATEX 95, or product directive)
defines applicable requirements for ATEX products and requirements for procedure of certification.
OEMs, installers, users are responsible for the choice and the commissioning of the products they use in
order to realize the ATEX protection of systems that they design or systems that they implement.
The motor needs to be ATEX certified EX “d” and compatible for use in zone 1/21 or 2/22.
The motor shall be equipped with thermal sensor(s) with embedded switching system ATEX certified,
or shall be equipped with thermal sensor(s) ATEX certified, associated to a control unit (Level of
protection intrinsic safety "i"), which is to be also ATEX certified.
NOTE: Usually, the control unit is designed to be used outside the hazardous ATEX zone. Then it is
possible to install the control unit near the variable speed drive, outside the hazardous ATEX zone.
The switching system, embedded into the thermal sensor, or included into the control unit of the thermal
protection of the ATEX motor, shall be connected to the STO input of the variable speed drive ATV630,
650, 660 & 680, ATV930, 950, 960 & 980. When the excessive temperature of the ATEX motor is reached,
the control system triggers the STO safety function. The electrical power of the motor is removed to help
to ensure a temperature of the motor frame below the maximum temperature depending on the gas or the
dust atmosphere in which the ATEX motor is installed.
When the ATEX application needs to apply the STO safety function, and prevent automatic restart, then a
safety module (type Preventa) is to be used. The suggested wiring diagrams describe how the switching
system, embedded into the thermal sensor or included into the control unit, is connected to the safety
module. The output of the safety module must be connected to the STO input of the variable speed drive
ATV630, 650, 660 & 680, ATV930, 950, 960 & 980.

INERIS to demonstrate the compliance of the variable speed drive with the requirements of the ATEX 94/9/EC
directive.
3 Logo related to the identification of an ATEX product.
4 II relates to the use of products for ATEX application in surface industries. (ATEX applications for mines industries
are prohibited)

associated with the control & command of an ATEX motor installed in a hazardous zone. The number 2 identifies
the ATEX motor as a product of category 2 for use in ATEX zones 1 or 21. Motors of category 3 for use in ATEX
zones 2 or 22 are also covered by this marking.
6 G for Gas, is related to ATEX applications in atmospheres with explosive gas. D for Dust, is related to ATEX
applications in atmospheres with a mixture of explosive dust.

General
Requirements
Requirements provided by the ATEX standards for installation should be fulfilled. Also follow the
requirements below:
IEC 60079-14 Electrical installations design, selection and erection, for applications in atmospheres
with explosive gas,
local regulation, cabling rules for applications in atmospheres with presence of gas or dust.
Wiring Diagrams Presentation
Schemes suggested in this document for installation and commissioning of variable speed drives ATV630,
650, 660 & 680, ATV930, 950, 960 & 980 for ATEX applications are based on thermal sensors (for example
a PTC sensor) embedded in the ATEX motor and an intrinsic safety "i" control unit. The control unit is a
device which converts in a switching function the variation of the characteristic of a thermal sensor.
ATEX Periodic test
The complete functional safety loop (which starts from the ATEX motor thermal sensor up to the STO
safety function embedded in the drive), shall be activated at least once a year for preventive maintenance
purposes, in order to check that the electrical power is always automatically removed from the motor in
case of excessive temperature.
Shielded Cables on I/O
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Use shielded cables for all digital and analog I/O and communication signals
Ground cable shields at a single point.
Route communication and I/O cables separately from power cables.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
