The OPT-AF option board together with VACON® NXP control board provides the following safety
functions with VACON® NX family products.
Safe Torque Off (STO)
Hardware based ‘Safe Torque Off’ safety function to prevent the drive from generating torque
on the motor shaft. STO safety function has been designed for use in accordance with the
following standards:
• EN 61800-5-2 Safe Torque Off (STO) SIL2
• EN ISO 13849-1 PL “d” Category 3
• EN 62061 SILCL2
• IEC 61508 SIL2
• The function also corresponds to an uncontrolled stop in accordance with stop category 0,
EN 60204-1.
• EN 954-1, Category 3
The STO safety function has been certified by IFA*
NOTE! IP54 cabinet or IP54 enclosure must be used. Lower IP rating can be used if the AC
drive is used in environment that does not contain conductive contamination and if the AC
drive is equipped with coated PCBs.

vacon • 4 GENERAL
Safe Stop 1 (SS1)

SS1 safety function is realized in compliance with type C of the drives safety standard EN
61800-5-2 (Type C: “The PDS(SR) initiates the motor deceleration and initiates the STO
function after an application specific time delay”). SS1 safety function has been designed for
use in accordance with the following standards:
• EN 61800-5-2 Safe Stop 1 (SS1) SIL2
• EN ISO 13849-1 PL"d" Category 3
• EN 62061 SILCL2
• IEC 61508 SIL2
• The function also corresponds to a controlled stop in accordance with stop category 1, EN
60204-1.
The SS1 safety function has been certified by IFA *
NOTE! IP54 cabinet or IP54 enclosure must be used. Lower IP rating can be used if the AC
drive is used in environment that does not contain conductive contamination and if the AC
drive is equipped with coated PCBs.
Motor Thermistor Over temperature protection (according to ATEX)

Overtemperature detection using thermistor. It can be used as a tripping device for ATEX certi-
fied motors.
The thermistor tripping function is certified by VTT** according to ATEX directive 94/9/EC.
All safety functions of the OPT-AF board are described in this user's manual. The OPT-AF option
board contains also two programmable output relays. (Note! Not part of any safety function.)
NOTE! The STO function is not the same as a prevention of unexpected start-up function. For ful-
filling those requirements, additional external components are required according to appropriate
standards and application requirements. Required external components may be for example:
• Appropriate lockable switch
• A safety relay providing a reset function
NOTE! The safety functions of the OPT-AF board do not comply with Emergency Switching Off ac-
cording to EN 60204-1.

vacon • 14 STO AND SS1 SAFETY FUNCTIONS
3. STO AND SS1 SAFETY FUNCTIONS

The safety functions of the OPT-AF board, such as the technical principle and data, wiring examples
and commissioning, will be described in this chapter.
NOTE! Designing of safety-related systems requires speial knowledge and

skills. Only qualified persons are permitted to install and set up the OPT-AF
board.
The use of STO, SS1 or other safety functions does not itself ensure safety.
An overall risk evaluation is required in order to make sure that the com-
missioned sy-stem is safe. Safety devices like the OPT-AF board must be
correctly incorporated into the entire system. The entire system must be
designed in compliance with all relevant standards within the field of indus-
try.
Standards such as EN 12100 Part 1, Part 2, & ISO 14121-1 provide methods
for designing safe machinery and for carrying out a risk assessment.
CAUTION! The information in this manual provides guidance on the use of

the safety functions that OPT-AF option board provides together with
VACON® NXP control board. This information is in compliance with
accepted practice and regulations at the time of writing. However, the end
product/system designer is responsible for ensuring that the system is safe
and in compliance with relevant regulations.
CAUTION! The OPT-AF board and its safety functions do not electrically iso-
late the drive output from the mains supply. If electrical work is to be car-
ried out on the drive, the motor or the motor cabling, the drive has to be
completely isolated from the mains supply e.g. using an external supply
disconnecting switch. See for e.g. EN 60204-1 section 5.3.
CAUTION! If STO or SS1 safety function is required in DriveSynch installa-

tion, please contact your nearest distributor for more information.
CAUTION! In LineSynch application the use of OPT-AF board will not fulfill
STO or SS1 -safety functions while the drive is in by-pass mode.

STO AND SS1 SAFETY FUNCTIONS vacon • 15
3.1 Safe Torque Off (STO) principle

The STO safety function of the OPT-AF board allows the drive output to be disabled so that the drive
cannot generate torque in the motor shaft. For STO, the OPT-AF board has two separate, galvani-
cally isolated inputs SD1 and SD2.
Note! Both SD1 and SD2 inputs are normally closed for the drive to be in enable state.
The STO safety function is achieved by disabling the drive modulation. The drive modulation is dis-
abled through two independent paths controlled by SD1 and SD2 so that a single fault in any of the
safety related parts will not lead to the loss of the safety function. This is done by disabling the gate
driver signal outputs to the driver electronics. The gate drive output signals control the IGBT mod-
ule. When gate drive output signals are disabled, the drive will not generate torque in the motor
shaft. See Figure 2.
If either of the STO inputs is not connected to a +24 V signal, the drive will not go to the RUN state.

Figure 5 shows the connection principle of Safe Stop 1 safety function.

- The time delayed safety relay outputs are connected to the STO inputs.
- A separate digital output from the safety relay is connected to a general digital input of the
VACON® NX drive. The general digital input must be programmed to detect the drive stop
command and initiates without time delay the drive stop function (must be set to "stop by
ramp") and causes motor deceleration.

Figure 5. The connection principle of Safe Stop 1 (SS1)
CAUTION! The system designer/user is responsible of understanding and

setting the time delay of the safety relay, due to the fact it is process/
machine dependent.
→ The time delay must be set to a greater value than the deceleration
time of the drive. The motor deceleration time is process/machine
dependent.
→ The stop function of the drive needs to be correctly set for the pro-
cess/machine.
See Chapter 3.5.5 concerning the parametrizing of Safe Stop 1 and Chapter 3.4.4 "Example 4" for
the wiring of Safe Stop 1.

3.3.2 Connections
In addition to the STO inputs, the board contains also a thermistor input. If the thermistor input is
not used it must be disabled. The thermistor input is disabled by making a short circuit to the ter-
minals and setting the jumper X10 in "OFF" state. The termistor input operation and instructions
are presented in Chapter 4.

a separate isolation transformer to limit short circuit current and overvoltage spikes. This is to prevent
the welding on the relay contacts. Refer to standard EN 60204-1, section 7.2.9.

Figure 9 presents a connection example of OPT-AF board for STO safety function with external time
delayed safety relay module for realizing the Safe Stop 1 or EN 60204-1 Stop Category 1.
External safety relay module is connected to the switch S1. The safety relay module is connected to
OPT-AF board with 4 wires as shown in Figure 9. The time delay settings of the safety relay must
correspond to the application requirements.
When the switch S1 is activated, the safety relay module will immediately activate DIN6, which in
turn activates the STOP command to the drive. The STOP function is programmed to "Stop by
Ramp". The safety relay activates the Safe Torque Off state after the time delay has expired. The
time delay is set more than the deceleration time set in the drive to stop by ramp from maximum
speed. The drive will indicate: "A30 SafeTorqueOff".
When the switch S1 is released (contacts closed), the drive returns to ready state. The motor can
The external relay can be wired so that manual reset is required to reset the STO safety function.
More information regarding the safety relay module may be found from the safety relay datasheet.

3.5 Commissioning
NOTE! The use of STO, SS1 or other safety functions does not itself ensure safety. Always make sure
that the safety of the entire system is confirmed. See also the warnings on page 14.
3.5.1 General wiring instructions

• The wiring should be done according to the general wiring instructions for the specific pro-
duct where OPT-AF is installed.
• Shielded cable is required for connecting the OPT-AF board.
• EN 60204-1 part 13.5: The voltage drop from supply point to load should not exceed 5%.
• In practice, due to electromagnetic disturbances, the cable length should be limited to 200 m
max. In a noisy environment, the length of the cable could still be less than 200 m.

3.5.4 Parametrizing the drive for the Safe Torque Off (STO)
safety functions
There are no parameters for the STO function itself.
In applications, there is a possibility to change the warning A30 "SafeTorqueOff" to a fault. For e-
xample in VACON® NXP Multi Purpose application through parameters  protections  SafeDis-
able mode, the STO state may be changed to generate a fault. As default, it is always set to generate
a warning.
NOTE! When STO state is changed to indicate a fault, the drive will display the fault "F30 Safe-
TorqueOff" even after the switch S1 have been released (contacts closed) and the hardware is en-
abled. The fault must be acknowledged.
In application, there is also a possibility to indicate the STO state. This can be done through a digital
output.
For example the VACON® NXP multi purpose application provides the user with this possibility.
The indication of STO state could be parametrized to one of the relays on OPT-AF board (B1 or B2).
The parameter for providing this feedback can be found in: parameters  output signals  dig out
signals  SafeDisableactiv.
NOTE! The feedback or indication of the STO state is NOT part of the Safety functions.
OPT-AF board parameter:
Code Parameter Default Note
P7.2.1.2 Start-Up Prev “Fault” To start the motor operation, after a thermistor fault,
an edge sensitive start command is required after the
drive returns to ready state.
a) When OPT-AF board parameter "Start-Up

Prev" is "Fault", the drive will generate a
"F26 Start-Up Prev" fault if start command is
on, when returning to ready state after a
thermistor fault has been active. The drive
can be started with an edge sensitive start
command after fault reset.
b) When OPT-AF board parameter "Start-Up
Prev" is "Warning", the drive will generate a
"A26 Start-Up Prev" warning if start com-
mand is on, when returning to ready state
after a thermistor fault has been active. The
drive can be started with an edge sensitive
start command. No fault reset is required in
this case.
c) When OPT-AF board parameter "Start-Up
Prev" is "No action", the drive will not gene-
rate any indication. The drive can be started
with an edge sensitive start command. No
fault reset is required in this case.

3
3.5.5 Parametrizing the drive and the external time delayed safety relay
for Safe Stop (SS1) safety function
Safe Stop 1 requires setting of time delay on the external safety relay component:
• Requirement: The time delay setting needs to be greater than the deceleration time set in
the drive
NOTE! See manufacturer user manual for more information regarding the setting of the time delay.
Safe Stop 1 safety function requires that the drive is configured according to the following guide-
lines:
• Deceleration time must be set according to the machine or process requirement
• The drive stop function must be programmed to "stop by ramp"
• A dedicated digital stop input must be used (not combined with start command) for the drive
stop command
See the previous chapter for parametrizing the drive for Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function.
NOTE! The drive will indicate Safe Torque Off (STO) state when Safe Stop 1 time delay has expired
NOTE! If the time delay (of the external safety relay component) is NOT set correctly (time delay set
shorter than the required deceleration time of the process/machine), the motor will stop by coas-
ting when the time delay expires.
3.5.6 Testing the Safe Torque Off (STO) or Safe Stop 1 (SS1)
safety functions
NOTE! After connecting the board ALWAYS make sure that the STO or SS1 safety functions are
working properly by testing them before operating the system.
NOTE! Before testing the STO or SS1 safety functions, make sure that the checklist (Table 3) is in-
spected and completed.
NOTE! Concerning the SS1 safety function, make sure by testing that the drive's stop by ramp func-
tion is working in accordance with the process requirements.
When the STO safety function is activated, a code: A30 "SafeTorqueOff " appears on the control key-
pad display. This indicates that the STO safety function is active. After STO has been deactivated, the
warning remains active for 10 seconds.

3
3.6 Maintenance
CAUTION! If any service or repair is to be conducted on the drive installed

with OPT-AF board please follow the check list given in Chapter 3.5.3.
CAUTION! During maintenance breaks, or in case of service/repair, the OPT-AF

board might have to be removed from its slot. After reconnecting the board,
ALWAYS make sure that the STO or SS1 safety functions are active and fully func-
tional by testing them. See Chapter 3.5.6.

4.1.1 Functional description

The thermistor supervision circuit of the OPT-AF board is designed to provide a reliable way of dis-
abling the drive modulation in case there is an overtemperature at the motor thermistor(s).
By disabling the drive modulation the feeding of the energy to the motor is prevented and a further
heating up of the motor due to this is avoided.
The thermistor supervision circuit meets the requirements in the ATEX directive by acting directly
on the "STO" safety function of the VACON® NXP (See Figure 16) and is thus providing a reliable,
software and parameter independent way of preventing the energy supply to the motor.

The thermistor (PTC) is connected between the terminals 28(TI1+) and 29(TI1-) of the OPT-AF board.
The optocoupler isolates the thermistor inputs from the control board potential.
* If 230 VAC is used as control voltage from the output relays, the control circuitry must be powered with a se-
parate isolation transformer to limit short circuit current and overvoltage spikes. This is to prevent the welding
on the relay contacts. Refer to standard EN 60204-1, section 7.2.9.
The overtemperature is detected by hardware on OPT-AF board. See temperature versus resis-
tance curve as in the figure below.

4.2 Commissioning
Note: Installation, testing and service work on the OPT-AF board can be performed only by profes-
sional persons.
Note: It is not allowed to perform any repair work on the OPT-AF board.
4.2.1 General wiring instructions

The thermistor connection must be done using a separate control cable. It is not allowed to use
wires belonging the motor supply cables or any other main circuit cables. It is recommended to use
a shielded control cable.
Maximum cable length without Maximum cable length with
short circuit monitoring short circuit monitoring
X10: OFF X10: ON
>= 1.5 sq mm 1500 meters 250 meters
Note: It is recommended to test the ATEX functionality using thermistor input on OPT-AF board pe-
riodically (typically once a year). For testing, the thermistor connection to the OPT-AF board is dis-
connected. The drive ready signal goes low (green LED on the keypad goes OFF). Check for the
corresponding warning or fault indication in the drive according to the parameter setting explained
in Chapter 4.2.2.
4.2.2 Parameter setting for ATEX function

In case of overtemperature, the drive modulation is disabled. The drive will not anymore feed ener-
gy to the motor thus preventing further overheating of the motor. See Figure 16.
When drive is connected to the main power and if the motor temperature is below overtemperature
limits (see Figure 18), the drive goes to ready state. The motor may start in presence of start com-
mand from a selected control place.
If the motor temperature is above the overtemperature limits (see Figure 18), fault /warning (F29)
thermistor is activated depending on the programming in the application.
The application programming for the thermistor fault is as follows e.g. in factory applications.
Code Parameter Default ID Note
P2.7.21 Response to 2 732 0= No Response
Thermistor Fault 1= Warning
2= Fault according to Stop Mode. *
3= Fault, stop by coasting.
* With OPT-AF board according to ATEX directive 94/9/EC (i.e jumper wire X12 not cut) , response
to thermistor fault = 2 is always same as response to thermistor fault =3, i.e. stop by coasting.
When the resistance of the thermistor(s) mounted in the motor goes above 4 kΩ due to motor over-
heating, the drive modulation is disabled within 20 ms. Fault F29 or warning A29 is generated in the
drive according to the above-mentioned programming.
According to the curve, when the temperature falls below 2 kΩ (see Figure 18), the thermistor func-
tion allows the drive to be enabled again.

4
The thermistor fault configuration cause following reactions:
• Response to thermistor fault = No action. No warning/ fault is generated in case of overtem-
perature . The drive goes to run disable mode. The drive can be restarted when temperature
is normalized, by giving a valid start command.
• Response to thermistor fault = Warning. A29 is generated in case of overtemperature. The
drive goes to run disable mode. The drive can be restarted when temperature is normalized
by giving a valid start command when the drive has returned to Ready state.
• Response to thermistor fault = Fault. F29 is generated in case of overtemperature and the
drive goes to run disable mode. When the temperature is normalized, a reset command is
needed before the drive can be restarted. The drive returns to Ready state. The valid start
command is then needed to restart the drive.
Note: With OPT-AF board according to ATEX directive 94/9/EC (i.e jumper wire X12 not cut) all VA-
CON® NXP drives are programmed to accept only an edge sensitive start command for a valid start
after a thermistor fault . To start the motor operation, a new start command is required after the
drive returns to ready state.
4.2.3 Short circuit monitoring
The thermistor inputs TI1+ and TI1- are monitored for short circuit. If a short circuit is detected, the
drive modulation is disabled within 20ms, F8 system fault (subcode 31) is generated. When the
short circuit has been removed, the drive can be reset only after power recycle to the VACON® NXP
control board.
The short circuit monitoring can be enabled or disabled using the jumper X10 in ON or OFF position
respectively. The jumper is set in ON position by factory default.
Important: For the functionality of OPT-AF board according to ATEX directive 94/9/EC, it
must be checked that the jumper wire X12 is not damaged or cut. Also set the param-
eter Expander Boards/Slot B/ "Therm Trip (HW)" to "ON" (P.7.2.1.1).
4.2.4 Exceptional use of thermistor function on OPT-AF board
(similar to OPT-A3, not in compliance with ATEX directive 94/9/EC)
In systems where the drive detects the overtemperature of the motor through a thermistor input,
there might be a need of running down the whole system in a controlled way or continue running
the motor. In these cases the thermistor input must not cause an immediate stop of the drive. To
achieve this functionality, the following actions must be carried out:
• Cut the jumper wire X12 on OPT-AF board.
• Set the jumper X10 to OFF position (short circuit monitoring disabled).
• Set the parameter Expander Boards/Slot B/ “Therm Trip (HW)” to “Off”.
WARNING: When the jumper wire X12 is cut, the OPT-AF board is not
more valid for using in an environment that requires a certified over-
heating protection device according to the ATEX directive 94/9/EC.

ter "On" (for ATEX)
Refer 4.2.4 • "Jumper wire X12 cut and this board parameter

Wrong settings:
• "If jumper wire X12 is cut and this board parameter
is "On", thermistor trip will cause unresettable
System Fault 8, subcode 41.
• "If jumper wire X12 is not cut and this board
parameter is "Off", thermistor trip will cause unre-
settable System Fault 8, subcode 48.
P7.2.1.2 Start-Up Prev “Fault” To start the motor operation, after a thermistor fault, an
edge sensitive start command is required after the drive
returns to ready state.
a) When OPT-AF board parameter "Start-Up Prev"

is "Fault", the drive will generate a "F26 Start-
Up Prev" fault if start command is on, when
returning to ready state after a thermistor fault
has been active. The drive can be started with
an edge sensitive start command after fault
reset.
b) When OPT-AF board parameter "Start-Up Prev"
is "Warning", the drive will generate a "A26
Start-Up Prev" warning if start command is on,
when returning to ready state after a thermistor
fault has been active. The drive can be started
with an edge sensitive start command. No fault
reset is required in this case.
c) When OPT-AF board parameter "Start-Up Prev"
is "No action", the drive will not generate any
indication. The drive can be started with an
edge sensitive start command. No fault reset is
required in this case.
