podis MS 5HP

March 29, 2022

The podis MS 5HP is a compact, robust and user-friendly drive component with an integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) function. The safety function completely disconnects the power supply from the emergency stop circuits. As a result, the STO circuits no longer need routing through a central distributor and assignment to a specific energy branch. The combination of starter functions allows for the decentralized assignment of all of the energy of the STO circuits in the field. The STO circuit monitors and operates through an auxiliary voltage generated in the field and also by a two-channel safety relay. Several STO circuits can operate from one power supply. The podis MS 5HP covers motors with a power range from 0.3 hp to 5 hp (0.25 kW to 4.0 kW), and as many as five different motors.
