2 Product description of safety module CAMC-G-S3
– design as a module that can be plugged in from the outside thus enabling retrofits.
This functional safety engineering integrated in the motor controller allows:
– shortest reaction times through more rapid detection of possibly hazardous statuses.
– comprehensive detection of hazards through rapid, direct access to a wide range of signals and
measured variables in the motor controller.
– analysis of a wide range of position transmitters, such as resolvers, SIN/COS encoders, Hiperface
encoders, and also the analysis of position transmitters with purely serial protocols (ENDAT 2.2,
BISS, etc.)
– if necessary, rapid, direct manipulation of the setpoints / control system of the drive controller. An
axle can also be safety and precisely brought to idle without action by the functional controller / PLC
or braked to a limited speed.
– Direct interaction between the sequence control in the motor controller and the safety module. In
this way, for example, the clamping unit or holding brake, after a request of the SBC safety function
and the subsequent restart, is only opened when the motor controller is actively controlling the
position. This avoids "dropping" of vertical axles and there is no need to program a sequence in the
function controller.
2.1.3

Supported devices

The safety module CAMC-G-S3 can only be used in motor controllers in conformity with section 1.1.2.
The motor controllers CMMP-AS-...-M3 are delivered without a safety or micro switch module in slot
Ext3 for safety modules.
The use of safety module CAMC-G-S3 enables the safety functions described in this documentation for the
integrated functional safety of safety-relevant motion monitoring and motion control to be expanded.
If no safety functions are required, the switch module CAMC-DS-M1 must be ordered and
inserted in the Ext3 slot for safety modules.
