● Once the "delay time for braking ramp" has 
elapsed, the converter monitors the motor ve‐
locity using the function SBR (Safe Brake 
Ramp).    
● The converter switches over from SBR moni‐
toring to level 2 of SLS monitoring as soon as 
one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
– The SBR monitoring ramp has reached the 
value of the SLS monitoring.
This case is shown in the diagram above.
– The load velocity has decreased down to 
the value SLS monitoring and the "delay 
time for braking ramp" has expired.  
● The converter monitors the velocity with the 
lower SLS level after the "delay time for SLS 
changeover" has expired (this is the same de‐
lay time that applies after selecting the function 
SLS).
1)
The automatic reduction of the speed only takes effect when the ramp-function generator is 
interconnected to the speed setpoint limitation.
Switching to a higher speed level
If you switch over from a lower to a higher speed level, the converter immediately monitors the 
actual velocity against the higher velocity.
