What is the Status code STO on Process Drives?

How can we help you today?

STO is not a fault code.

It is a state of the drive. It means that Safe Torque Off function is active. The drive is not detecting 24Vdc on the STOA or STOB terminals.
Measure for 24Vdc between +24 to COM to verify the internal power supply.
Confirm that the factory installed jumper between +24 to STOA & STOB is solidly connected. The jumper is removed if a safety circuit is installed. Verify continuity of the safety circuit (if installed).
Make sure the Sink/Source switch is in the Source position.
When the voltage on STOA and STOB is re-established, the drive status will return to RDY if there is not an active run command, or NST if a run command is active. To clear NST, remove the run command.

If STOA and STOB terminals are at different voltage levels (one on and the other off) a SAFF error will be triggered.
