Handling the safety password
● The safety password protects safety parameters against maloperation. Always assign a
strong password, to activate efficient protection.
● To reset the password to the factory setting, you require the valid password.
● 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. However, in contrast to directives, standards are not binding.
Below is a list of standards and guidelines for safety technology.
● EU Machinery Directive
This guideline defines basic protection measures for safety technology.
● EN ISO 12100
