In addition to the requirements of the guidelines and standards, company-specific requirements must be taken into account.
Large corporations in particular (e.g. automobile manufacturers) make stringent demands regarding automation components,
which are often listed in their own equipment specifications.
Safety-related issues (e.g. operating modes, operator actions with access to hazardous areas, EMERGENCY STOP
concepts, etc.) should be clarified with customers early on so that they can be integrated in the risk assessment/risk
reduction process.

Machine safety in Japan

The situation in Japan is different from that in Europe and the US. Legislation such as that prescribed in Europe does not
exist. Similarly, product liability does not play such an important role as it does in the US.
Instead of legal requirements to apply standards have been defined, an administrative recommendation to apply JIS
(Japanese Industrial Standard) is in place: Japan bases its approach on the European concept and uses basic standards as
national standards (see the table below).

General information about SINAMICS Safety Integrated

Safety Integrated function - STO
The Safe Torque Off (STO) is a safety function that prevents the drive from restarting unexpectedly, in accordance with EN
60204-1:2006 Section 5.4.
The STO function is in conformance with the IEC 61508, SIL2 standard, in the operating mode with a high demand,
Category 3 and Performance Level d (PL d) acc. to ISO 13849-1:2006, as well as IEC 61800-5-2.
Controlling the STO Function
The STO function can be controlled via terminals. For more information on STO wiring, see Section "Connecting the 24 V
power supply/STO - X6" of the SINUMERIK 808D/SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED Commissioning Manual.
