It carries the STO safety function at SIL 3, so a machine builder can integrate safe torque off without an external safety relay on the power stage. ## Supply and wiring Digital inputs need 24 V DC (19...30 V). The internal supply for a reference potentiometer (1 to 10 kΩ) is 10.5 V DC ±5 %. STO and digital inputs share a separate 24 V DC rail (21...27 V). Isolation to earth is tested at 1 MΩ, 500 V DC for 1 minute. Keep the STO supply clean — a shared 24 V bus with contactors can dip below the 21 V dropout and nuisance-trip the safe-off circuit. ## Communications and fieldbus Two RJ45 ports on the remote graphic terminal: one for Ethernet/Modbus TCP at 10/100 Mbit/s, one for Modbus serial at 4.8 to 38.4 kbit/s (2-wire RS-485, RTU frame, slave addresses 1...247). The Ethernet port supports half/full duplex and autonegotiation. If you are replacing a legacy Modbus serial drop, the physical interface is 2-wire RS-485 with no impedance polarization — you will need external biasing resistors on the bus. IP00 enclosure — no protection against dust ingress, so it must live inside a panel. Operating temperature is -10 to 40 °C without derating, 40 to 50 °C with derating. Above 1000 m altitude, derate current 1 % per 100 m up to 4800 m. Pollution degree 2 per IEC 61800-5-1. Vibration resistance: 1.5 mm peak-to-peak at 2...13 Hz, 0.5 gn at 13...200 Hz. Shock: 7 gn for 11 ms. The power dissipation is 2980 W at 2.5 kHz switching frequency — forced convection is assumed; plan panel ventilation accordingly.","metaTitle":"Schneider APM9A0CTLY6 Altivar Process Control Module, 500-69","metaDescription":"Active Schneider Altivar Process Modular control unit for ATV900 drives.
