3.8.2 Compatibility with Drive Applications

The safety monitoring in the Advanced safety option board is independent of the drive application and of the methods used to
control the AC drive to fulfill the monitored limits. The monitoring is always executed the same way. Violations of safety limits result
in the set responses in the option board.
The option board can be used with any drive application. Older drive applications do not monitor or react to the safety system data.
When a such drive application is used, the AC drive must be monitored and controlled by external systems for the AC drive to oper-
ate within the limits set by the safety functions.
For example, the drive application can ramp down and limit the speed to a safe value when the Safe Limited Speed (SLS) function is
activated. Refer to the VACON
It is possible to use any drive application with the Advanced safety option board, but some applications cannot operate correctly
with the option board added to the system. In such cases, update the application.
The drive applications that are aware of the Advanced safety option board and able to use the related data can be used. A such
drive application can keep the AC drive within the limits set by the safety functions.

3.8.3 Option Board Menu on the Control Panel

When the Advanced safety option is used, use menu M7 Expander boards on the control panel of the drive to control the option
board and to read status data. It is possible to reset the option board passwords, do a factory reset, and control of the parameter file
backup. The status data includes the identification data for the parameter file, certain parameter values of the parameter file, and
the run-time monitoring data.
The option board menu structure can be seen in
tables are for installation in slot D.For other slots the indexes are different. For example, G7.4.1 Parameters is G7.3.1 Parameters in
slot C.
