 Not all supported functions had been finalized when this documentation was published. 
Current information can be found at 
(http://support.automation.siemens.
com/WW/view/en/27585482). 
 
 
Note 
Details on the Safety Integrated functions, such as information on the configuration of safety 
functions as well as operating conditions for the encoderless operation can be found in the 
SINAMICS S120 Safety Integrated
 Function Manual. 
 
Parameterize the desired Safety Integrated functions and the monitoring with or without 
encoder and activate them in the safety screen forms of the SIMOTION SCOUT engineering 
system.  
If motors are used without an encoder or with an encoder that is not suitable for Safety 
Integrated Extended Functions, not all Safety Integrated functions can be used. 
The safe speed monitoring without encoder also functions at standstill as long as the drive is 
switched on.
