What is the Status code STO on Process Drives?
Issue:
STO on AT600 and ATV900 Drives.

Product Line:
Altivar Process Drives

Environment:
All

Cause:
NA

Resolution:
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. If you don't have 24 Vdc present on the +24 terminal, measure DC voltage between PA+ and PC- to check your DC bus voltage.
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.
