3 Wiring
3.1 Basic wiring of the MINAS A6 Multi
Check the hardware connections of your servo drive system:
• 24V DC control power supply connected to X11
• 400V AC main power supply cable connected to X102
• Motor cable for servo motor A connected to X105A
• Motor cable for servo motor B connected to X105B
• Encoder cable for servo motor A connected to X9A
• Encoder cable for servo motor B connected to X9B
• X1 and X1A connected with RJ11 communication cable
• Bus bars attached to X104 and X12
• PE terminals of power supply module and driver module connected by grounding wire
For details on how to do the wiring of the MINAS A6 Multi servo drive system, refer to
“Wiring” in “QS10000, MINAS A6 Multi, Position control with Beckhoff host controller over
EtherCAT”.
3.2 USB license dongle
A USB license dongle is required to compile and download the functional safety
configuration to the driver module. Connect the license dongle to a USB port of your PC.
USB license dongle
3.3 Connect the PC and the driver module
Connect your PC and the driver module with an Ethernet cable or with a USB cable. In this
example, we use a USB cable that is connected to X8 of the driver module.
X8 connector (for functional safety configuration)
Use a commercially available USB A to mini-B cable to connect the PC to the driver module.

4.1 Install PANATERM for Safety on your PC
The programming software PANATERM for Safety provides a graphical environment to
create PLC-based monitoring programs for the MINAS A6 Multi servo drive system.
Install the software on your PC.
For details, refer to the “SX-DSV03508, MINAS A6 Multi, Programming Manual –
PANATERM for Safety”.
4.2 Create a safety program
The general workflow for creating a safety program is to add the devices of your servo drive
system to your project, to place them in the “Terminal Scheme” screen, and to configure the
safety functions in the“Functional Scheme” screen.
1. Start PANATERM for Safety.
2. Select the “Settings” tab.

4 Functional safety configuration
3. Select “Library” and then “MINAS A6 Multi” under “New document device group”.
4. Select “MINAS A6 Multi 2 Axis” from the “Library” window and drag the element into
the “Terminal Scheme” window.
5. Go to the “Properties” window and select the A6 encoder for both axes.
6. Select the encoder elements from the “Browser” window and drag them into the
“Functional Scheme” window.

4 Functional safety configuration
7. Select the safety function “[SSM] Safe Speed Monitoring” from the “Library” window
and drag it into the “Functional Scheme” window. For two axes, you need the function
twice.
8. Use the mouse to connect the elements.
9. Select the “[SSM] Safe Speed Monitoring 2” function in the “Terminal Scheme”
window, and make the settings in the “Properties” window as shown in the
screenshot.
The threshold value for speed is a sample value that can be adjusted according to the
requirements of the machine.

10. Select “Check + Compile” in the ribbon to compile your project
4.3 Download the safety program to the driver module
Remember that a USB license dongle is required to compile and save your program.
1. Select “Device Interface” in the ribbon and save your project.
2. Select “Connection Settings” in the ribbon and then “USB Cable”.
3. Select “Connect” in the ribbon.

4. Select “Send Configuration” in the ribbon.
Select “Yes” to confirm the message that this action will change the device state.
5. Wait until the configuration is transmitted to the driver module and then reboot the driver
module.
The safety function is now active.
6. To check the current status of the safety function, go to “Diagnostics” and select the
“Functional Scheme” window.
A yellow line means that the emergency stop button was not yet pressed. If it is red, the
emergency button has been pressed and STO is active.
4.4 Monitor the behavior of the SSM safety function
Select “Scope” in the ribbon to monitor the behavior of the SSM function.
You can adjust the threshold values set in the “Properties” window according to your
needs. For details, refer to the “SX-DSV03508, MINAS A6 Multi, Programming Manual –
PANATERM for Safety”.
