●  Safety Integrated Extended Functions 
These functions require an additional Safety license. Extended Functions with encoder 
require an encoder with Safety capability (see section "Reliable actual value acquisition 
with the encoder system"). 
–  Safe Torque Off (STO) 
Safe Torque Off is a safety function that prevents the drive from restarting 
unexpectedly in accordance with EN- 60204-1, Section 5.4. 
–  Safe Stop 1 (SS1, time and acceleration controlled) 
Safe Stop 1 is based on the "Safe Torque Off" function. This means that a Category 1 
stop in accordance with EN 60204-1 can be implemented. 
–  Safe Stop 2 (SS2) 
Safe Stop 2 is used to safely brake the motor with a subsequent transition into the 
"Safe Operating Stop" state (SOS). This means that a Category 2 stop in accordance 
with EN 60204-1 can be implemented. 
–  Safe Operating Stop (SOS) 
Safe Operating Stop is used to protect against unintentional movement. The drive is in 
closed-loop control mode and is not disconnected from the power supply. 
–  Safely Limited Speed (SLS) 
Safely Limited Speed ensures that the drive does not exceed a preset speed 
limit/velocity. 
–  Safe Speed Monitor (SSM) 
Safe Speed Monitor is used for safely identifying when a speed limit is fallen below in 
both directions of rotation, e.g. to identify zero speed. A fail-safe output signal is 
available for further processing. 
–  Safe Acceleration Monitor (SAM) 
Safe Acceleration Monitor monitors the safe braking of the drive during the ramp 
down. An unintentional "reacceleration" is reliably prevented. It is part of functions SS1 
and SS2. 
–  Safe Brake Ramp (SBR) 
Safe Brake Ramp is used to safely monitor the brake ramp. It is part of the "SS1 
without encoder" and "SLS without encoder" functions. 
–  Safe Direction (SDI) 
Safe Direction is used to safely monitor the direction of motion. 
The term "Motion Monitoring Functions" is also used for the Safety Integrated Extended 
Functions.
