NOTICE 
 
PROFIsafe or TM54F 
Using a Control Unit, control is possible either via PROFIsafe or TM54F. Mixed operation is 
not permissible. 
 
When asynchronous motors or synchronous motors without encoders are used, not all 
Safety Integrated Extended Functions can be used. 
When operating without encoders, the actual speed values are calculated from the 
measured electrical actual values. As a consequence, speed monitoring down to n = 0 rpm 
is also possible for operation without an encoder.

  The use of the safety function without an encoder is possible only for asynchronous motors. 
The Safety Integrated functions are selected and activated and the monitoring with or without 
encoder is selected in the Safety screen forms of the STARTER or SCOUT tools.
