8.5.4.1  EPOS and Safe Stop 2 
Since the function SS2 – with its setpoint-independent braking – is not suitable for use with 
EPOS, the Safe Operating Stop (SOS) function can be used with delay. 
On selection of SOS, the EPOS function "intermediate stop" (p2640 = 0) ensures that EPOS 
is able to stop the drive in its tracks and then keep it under control in this state before the 
SOS becomes active. The maximum necessary braking time (from p2573 and p2645 from 
EPOS) must then be entered in the delay time for SLS/SOS (p9551/p9351) with a small 
safety addition: This ensures that the drive is stationary before SOS becomes active. 
To do this, proceed as follows: 
1. Connect the EPOS function "intermediate stop" (p2640) with the SOS selection (r9720.3). 
2. Enter the maximum necessary braking time from EPOS (depending on the values set in 
p2573 and p2645) with a safety addition (approx. +5%) in the SOS delay time 
(p9551/p9351).

8.5.5  Safe Operating Stop (SOS) 
General description 
This function serves for fail-safe monitoring of the standstill position of a drive. 
Personnel can enter the protected machine areas without having to shut down the machine 
as long as SOS is active. 
Drive standstill is monitored by means of an SOS tolerance window (p9330 and p9530). The 
function SOS comes into effect in the following cases:
