  Safety Integrated 
76  Function Manual, 08/2023, A5E03264275A 
5.3.6  Control of "STO" and "SS1" for SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules 
Description 
The safety functions contained in the standard ("Safe Torque Off" and "Safe Stop 1") can also 
be used without option K82. 
Note 
Refer to the circuit diagrams enclosed for the interconnections of your device. 
Note 
The Safety functions must be activated prior to use via parameter assignment. An acceptance 
test must be performed and an acceptance log must be created. 
The following Safety Integrated Basic Functions (terms and definitions according to 
IEC 61800-5-2) can be controlled: 
•  Safe Torque Off (STO) 
•  Safe Stop 1 (SS1) (time-controlled) 
 
The integrated safety functions, starting from the Safety Integrated (SI) input terminals of the 
SINAMICS components (Control Unit, Motor Module), satisfy the requirements according to 
IEC
 61800-5-2, IEC 60204-1, ISO 13849-1 Category 3 for Performance Level (PL) d and 
In addition, most of the SINAMICS safety functions have been certified by independent 
institutes. A list of currently certified components is available on request from your local 
Siemens office or local sales office. 
Recommended application 
This variant is used when: 
•  Activation will be executed optically isolated with a voltage of 24 VDC. 
•  Working with control lines that are shorter than 30 m. 
•  Devices are deployed in plants with low spatial elongation (observe the drop in voltage at 
24 VDC!).
