•  Safety Integrated Extended Functions 
These functions require an additional safety license. Extended Functions with encoder 
require an encoder with safety capability (safety-relevant). 
–  Safe Torque Off (STO) 
Safe Torque Off is a safety function to avoid unexpected starting in accordance with 
IEC 60204-1. 
–  Safe Stop 1 (SS1, time- and acceleration-controlled) 
Safe Stop 1 is based on the "Safe Torque Off" function. This allows a Category 1 stop in 
accordance with IEC 60204-1 to be implemented. 
–  Safe Brake Control (SBC) 
Safe Brake Control safely controls a holding brake.
1)
 
–  Safe Operating Stop (SOS) 
Safe Operating Stop protects against unintentional movement. The drive is in closed-
loop control mode and is not disconnected from the power supply. 
–  Safe Stop 2 (SS2) 
Safe Stop 2 safely brakes the motor with a subsequent transition into the "Safe 
Operating Stop" state (SOS). This allows a Category 2 stop in accordance with 
IEC 60204-1 to be implemented. 
–  Safely-Limited Speed (SLS) 
Safely-Limited Speed monitors that the drive does not exceed a preset speed/velocity 
limit. 
–  Safe Speed Monitor (SSM) 
Safe Speed Monitor safely identifies when a speed limit is undershot in both directions 
of motion, e.g. to identify zero speed. A fail-safe output signal is available for further 
processing. 
–  Safe Direction (SDI) 
Safe Direction is used to safely monitor the direction of motion. 
–  Safe gearbox stage switchover 
The "Safe gearbox stage switchover" function facilitates reliable switching between 
different gearbox stages. The switchover is only possible via PROFIsafe. 
–  Safely-Limited Acceleration (SLA) 
Safely-Limited Acceleration monitors (the same as SLS) the acceleration, and 
intervenes when a limit value is violated. SLA cannot prevent that the acceleration 
threshold is briefly exceeded. 
–  Safe Brake Test (SBT) 
The diagnostic function "Safe Brake Test" (SBT) checks the required holding torque of a 
brake (operating or holding brake).
