DAMAGE TO MOTOR
Connect the TeSys H motor starter as specified in the wiring diagrams.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

This section provides recommended circuits for safe shutdown of motors that use an STO TeSys H motor starter. In recommended circuits, shutdown is achieved by interrupting the control input on I1 or I2.
The circuits in this section are for applications where safe shutdown is a normal operating state, such as guard door applications and two-hand control applications.
The following shutdown applications are included in this section:
Implementation
You can implement single-channel or dual-channel configurations. Route the input wiring for the direction 1 or direction 2 activation terminal and the corresponding ground, through the safety processing device.
If cross-error exclusion is not allowed, cut off the supply voltage with a dual-channel or two-pole configuration. The supply voltage to the motor starter is cut off with a single-channel configuration. Therefore, use this type of installation for SIL 3 (category 3, category 4) only if cross-error exclusions are allowed. For example, use this type of installation when the motor starter and the safety processing device are installed in the same control panel.
