3.2 Safe Stop 1 (SS1) principle
The Safe Stop 1 (SS1) safety function initiates the motor deceleration and initiates the STO after a
(user set) time delay.
Figure 5. The principle of Safe Stop 1 (EN 61800-5-2, SS1 type c)
The Safe Stop 1 (SS1) safety function consists of two safety related subsystems, an external time
delayed safety relay and the STO safety function. These two subsystems combined compose the
Safe Stop 1 safety function as shown in Figure 6.
