Circuit Status
Circuit shown with guard door closed and system ready for normal operation.
Operating Principle
This is a dual channel system with monitoring of the Safe Torque Off circuit and
drive. Opening the guard door will switch the input circuits (S11-S12 & S21-
S22) to the Minotaur monitoring safety relay unit. The output circuits (23-24)
will issue a Stop command to the drive and cause a controlled deceleration. After
the programmed delay, the timed output circuits (47-48 & 57-58) will cause the
Safe Torque Off option and the drive Enable circuit to trip. If the motor is
rotating when the trip occurs, it will coast to stop. To restart the drive, the
Minotaur safety relay must first be reset followed by a valid start command to the
drive.
Fault Detection
A single fault detected on the Minotaur safety input circuits will result in the
lock-out of the system at the next operation and will not cause loss of the safety
function.
If the Safe Torque Off option sticks ON, the motor will stop on command due to
the enable input. The system cannot be reset when this fault condition exists.
