Introduction

Functional Safety and ATEX applications

General
The variable speed drive ATV630, 650, 660 & 680, ATV930, 950, 960 & 980 and Altivar Process Modular
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 (see page 14). It complies also with the EN 50495 (2010): Safety devices
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 and Altivar Process Modular 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 2014/34/EU
directive.

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 and Altivar Process Modular
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.

NOTE: Neither electrical equipment nor motors can be installed in ATEX zone 0 or 20.

General
The European directives 94/9/EC and 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 and Altivar Process Modular. 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 and Altivar Process Modular.
