Monitoring modes
● For the Extended Functions with or without encoder, you can choose between 2 different 
monitoring modes of the function SS1: 
– Safe Brake Ramp (SBR)
– Safe Acceleration Monitor (SAM)   
Brake ramp monitoring 
(with or without encoder)
Acceleration monitoring 
(with or without encoder)

● Using the SBR (Safe Brake Ramp) function, 
the converter monitors whether the motor 
speed decreases.
● The gradient of the SBR function can be set via 
the reference velocity and the ramp-down time. 
The SBR function only starts after the "Delay 
for braking ramp".
● The SBR function starts with the speed set‐
point, which was present at the instant in time 
that SS1 was selected.
● If the converter detects that the speed has fall‐
en below the speed threshold (standstill moni‐
toring), it safely switches off the motor torque 
(STO).
● The converter monitors the speed of the motor 
with the SAM function.
● The converter prevents the motor from accel‐
erating again by having the monitoring function 
continuously track the speed as it decreases.
● The converter reduces the monitoring thresh‐
old until the "Shutdown speed" has been 
reached.      
● The converter safely switches off the motor tor‐
que (STO), if one of the following conditions is 
fulfilled:
– The speed has fallen below the shutdown 
speed SS1.
– The maximum time until the torque is 
switched off has expired.
