Safety Integrated overview

Safety Integrated
The safety functions integrated in the SINAMICS inverters can be parameterized intuitively
using graphic screens with Startdrive that is part of TIA Portal. Most drives of the G120
family are equipped with the "Safe torque off (STO)" drive-autonomous safety function. This
function is also available for Standard Control Units (without F suffix). The extended
functions make available further safety functions, such as Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safely-
limited Speed (SLS).
A brief overview of safety configuring in Startdrive follows.

Activating the safety commissioning mode

Activating the commissioning mode
Safety Integrated can be commissioned offline in the project or online directly on the drive.
For the offline commissioning, you must explicitly activate the safety functions after the
download. In the example, you perform both an online and an offline commissioning.
How to activate the safety commissioning mode for online commissioning
For the online commissioning, you have already configured the drive and performed a first
commissioning.
1. Double-click "Parameters" below the drive device in the project navigation. The
parameters will be displayed in the working area.
2. Switch to the "Function view" tab.
3. Connect Startdrive online with the drive (
