4.9.21  Terminal module for activation of "Safe Torque Off" and "Safe STOP 1" (option 
K82) 
Description  
The K82 option (terminal module for activating "Safe Torque Off" and "Safe Stop 1" is used 
for optically isolated activation via a variable control voltage range of the safety functions 
already present in the standard, which can also be used without option K82. 
 
 
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.  
See the Operating Instructions "Safety Integrated, SINAMICS S150, G150, G130, S120 
Chassis, SINAMICS S120 Cabinet Modules". 
 
Use the option K82 to activate the following safety integrated functions (terminology 
according to draft IEC 61800-5-2): 
●  Safe torque off (STO) 
●  Safe Stop 1 (SS1, time-controlled) 
 
 
 
Note 
The integrated safety functions, starting from the Safety Integrated (SI) input terminals of 
the SINAMICS components (Control Unit, Power Module, Motor Module), satisfy the 
requirements in accordance with the equipment directive 98/37/EC, the EN 60204-1, DIN 
EN ISO 13849-1 category 3 (formerly EN954-1) as well as the requirements for 
Performance Level (PL) d, and IEC 61508 SIL2. These are certified by the BGIA. 
In combination with the option K82 the requirements specified in machinery directive 
98/37/EC, EN 60204-1 as well as in DIN EN ISO 13849-1 category 3 (formerly EN954-1) 
are satisfied. The certification of option K82 is in process. 
A list of certified components is available on request from your local Siemens office. 
Recommended application 
This option is used when: 
●  Activation will be executed optically isolated in a voltage range of 24 V – 230 V DC/AC. 
●  You will be working with non-shielded control lines with lengths greater than 30 m. 
●  The devices will be used in plants with greater spatial elongation (ideal PA not present). 
●  Fulfillment of the standard DIN EN ISO 13849-1 (formerly EN 954-1) cat. 3 is sufficient 
and if there are no requirements in accordance with Safety Integrity level (SIL) 2, IEC 
61508, or Performance Level d in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-1.
