Safe Speed Monitor (Ssm) - ABB FSO-21 User Manual

Safe speed monitor (SSM)

The SSM function provides a safe output signal to indicate whether the motor speed
is between user-defined limits. There are four separate SSM functions
(SSM1...SSM4) with separate monitoring limits and indications. Several SSM
functions can be active at the same time.
You can configure the SSM function to be permanently on or off, or to be activated
externally from the FSO module I/O or from a safety PLC.
You can use the SSM function with or without an encoder. With an encoder, the FSO
module is always aware of the exact motor speed. Without an encoder, the speed
information is valid only when the drive is modulating (see section
encoder on page 149).
Note: If there is a fault in the speed data and the SSM function is the only active
safety function, this does not trip the drive. This only removes the SSM indication and
generates a warning to the drive.
The operation of the SSM function is described in the time diagrams and tables
below. The SSM1 function is used as an example. For configuration, see section
Configuring SSM on page 309.
