Control
The Safety Integrated functions are completely integrated into the drive system. They can be
activated as follows:
● Safety Integrated basic functions are activated via terminals on the device or via a
PROFIsafe message frame by means of PROFIBUS or PROFINET
● Safety Integrated extended functions are activated via the TM54F terminal module or via
a PROFIsafe message frame by means of PROFIBUS or PROFINET
● The Safety Integrated basic functions via terminals and the Safety Integrated extended
functions (via TM54F or PROFIsafe) can be used simultaneously.
NOTICE
PROFIsafe or TM54F
Using a Control Unit, control is possible either via PROFIsafe or TM54F. Mixed
operation is not permitted.
The Safety Integrated functions are implemented electronically and therefore offer short
response times in comparison to solutions with externally implemented monitoring functions.
Note
Although SIMOTION does not contain any safety-related functionality, it provides support for
SINAMICS drives that can perform safety-related functions.
The purpose of this support that SIMOTION provides, depending on the activated the safety-
related monitoring functions, is to prevent fault reactions at the drive end by ensuring that the
drive does not exit the monitored operating state.
Further information on support of the SINAMICS Safety Integrated functions on the TO axis
can be found in the
TO Axis Electric/Hydraulic, External Encoder
function manual.
