Regarding the trend towards increasingly complex and modular machines, the safety functions are more and more transferred from traditional central safety functions to the machine controller and drives. The integrated SINAMCS S120 / S110 safety functions allow to implement highly effective operator and machine protection. SIMOTION supports SINAMICS drives in safety-related monitoring and the execution of stop reactions.

SIMOTION supports SINAMICS drives being able to execute safety-related functions. The standard axis functionality ensures that the drive can autonomously perform safety-related stop reactions (STO, SS1).

The extended safety functions SOS, SLS and SS2 include monitoring functions that are supported by SIMOTION user program reactions performed to transfer the drive into a monitored operating status resp. maintain this status. This is, for example, essential for axes that are traversed in coordination via SIMOTION.
