Handling the safety password
The safety password protects safety parameters against maloperation by authorized users.
To reset the password to the factory setting, you require the valid password.
The machine manufacturer decides whether or not a password is required. The probability of
failure (PFH) and certification of the safety functions apply even if no password has been set.
More information can be found in the SINAMICS S120 Safety Integrated Function Manual.

Explanations, standards and terminology

Safety Integrated
The "Safety Integrated" functions enable the implementation of highly effective application-
oriented functions for man and machine protection. This innovate safety technology offers
the following benefits:
● Increased safety
● More economic operation
● Greater flexibility
● Higher level of plant availability
Standards and Directives
Various standards and guidelines for safety technology must be observed. Guidelines are
binding for both the manufacturer and operator of machines.
Standards generally reflect the state of the art and act as a basis for implementing safety
concepts. Unlike directives, however, they are not binding.
