5.2 Safe Stop 1 (SS1) Principle
After a safe stop command the motor starts decelerating and SS1 safety function initiates the STO
after a user set time delay.
Figure 8. 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 9.
