The present invention relates to a variable speed drive for driving an electric motor and providing a safe torque off (STO) function. The drive includes two parallel signal buffers connected to a safety controller and at least one IGBT gate driver circuit, wherein the signal buffers share the same IGBT gate control signals as inputs and feed them to the same IGBT gate driver circuits and wherein each signal buffer has an own STO control signal for activation and deactivation of outputs. The invention is also directed at a method for diagnosing a corresponding drive.
