Safe stop 1 (SS1)

Properties

Description

The safety function is started by the corresponding bit in the control data.
The acknowledgement is fed back by status data.

The initialised SS1 safety function monitors the deceleration procedure of the drive and subsequently transfers the drive into 'Safe torque off (STO)'.

 

 DANGER

Danger to life due to unexpected movements!

The drive will be torque-free in the status 'Safe torque off (STO)', in case of mains failure or in case of faulty drive controller. External application of force on the drive axis may result in life-threatening movements (e.g. hanging axes can fall down).

Steps to prevent:

  • Install an external, mechanical brake that prevents a movement.
  • Install a counterweight in order to maintain the axis in balance.

 

The deceleration procedure is automatically initiated by the safety function or by the user controller.

Example 1: Drive movement meets the permissible range of movement

Time t

Explanation

t = t0

The safety function is started by a 1-0 edge and cannot be interrupted.

t0 < t < t1

During the transition period, the actual speed value of the drive must be adjusted to the parameterised limits of the started safety function. The parameterised limits are not monitored yet.

t1 ≤ t < t2

The safety function monitors the parameterised ramp and checks whether the actual speed value meets the permissible range of movement.

t ≥ t2

The safety function switches the drive into the STO state and sets the STO acknowledgement bit. In the STO state, drive movements are no longer monitored since no further error reaction is possible.

t = t3

STO acknowledgement at maximum speed

Reaction in case of an error

As soon as the safety function detects a deviation from the limits of the monitored values, the drive is set to the safe state 'Safe torque off (STO)' (example 2).

 

 DANGER

Danger to life due to unexpected movements!

The drive will be torque-free in the status 'Safe torque off (STO)', in case of mains failure or in case of faulty drive controller. External application of force on the drive axis may result in life-threatening movements (e.g. hanging axes can fall down).

Steps to prevent:

  • Install an external, mechanical brake that prevents a movement.
  • Install a counterweight in order to maintain the axis in balance.

Example 2: Drive movement deviates from the parameterised ramp

Time t

Explanation

t = t0

The safety function is started by a 1-0 edge and cannot be interrupted.

t0 < t < t1

During the transition period, the actual speed value of the drive must be adjusted to the parameterised limits of the started safety function. The parameterised limits are not monitored yet.

t1 ≤ t < t2

The safety function monitors the parameterised ramp and checks whether the actual speed value meets the permissible range of movement.

t = t2

The safety function detects an error, switches the drive into the STO state and sets the error bit.

t ≥ t2

In the STO state, drive movements are no longer monitored since no further error reaction is possible.

 

Acknowledge an error with "Clear error"

As soon as an active safety function detects a deviation from the limits of the monitored values, the drive is set to the intended stop function. The error bit (FSoE status bit 7) is set and the acknowledgment of the safe status is withdrawn.

With the 'Clear error' signal (FSoE control bit 7 or the 'Clear error' command in the drive controller) the

error status ist acknowledged (deleted). If during and after the 'Clear error' the start signal from a previous safety function is still active and no other changes to the settings of the safety function have been made, the safety function restarts and also transition times (if available) work again.
