SM-Safety 

Control Techniques’ SM-Safety option module provides an intelligent, programmable solution to meet the IEC 61800-5-2 functional safety standard. It fits within the drive helping to reduce cabling and requires no cabinet space or external power supply.

Until now, the integrity required to meet safety requirements has limited the functionality of many machines. Usually simple logic is applied, such as, if a guard is open, the machine stops. When combined with robust processes to quantify risk, Control Techniques' SM-Safety module can free designers to create new and innovative solutions. Machines can intelligently interact with people while increasing human protection and safety resulting in enhanced machine productivity.

Features  Specifications 

The following safety functions defined by IEC 61800-5-2 are available with SM-Safety:

Safe Torque Off STO Prevents torque from being generated by the motor. This function is integrated within the drive itself as standard
Safe Stop1 SS1 Ensures that the motor decelerates in the expected way
Safe Stop 2 SS2 Ensures that the motor decelerates in the expected way and that zero speed is then held
Safe Limited Speed SLS Prevents the motor from exceeding a specified speed limit
Safe Limited Acceleration SLA Ensures that a specified acceleration and deceleration rate is not exceeded
Safe Limited Position SLP Monitors absolute position to ensure the motor operates within specified limits
Safe Brake Control SBC Provides a safe output signal to control an external safety brake
Safe Operating Stop SOS Ensures the motor holds zero speed, resisting external forces such as a hanging load on a crane
Safe Direction SDI Ensures that the motor can only move in the specified direction
Safe Limited Increment SLI Ensures that incremental moves do not exceed a specified distance
Safe CAM SCA Ensures that the motor only operates with a specific area or position range
 Safe Speed Monitor SSM Provides an indication when the motor speed is below a given limit
