SS2-t – Safe Stop 2 with time control

When the SS2-t function is active, the drive inverter brings the motor to a standstill electrically. At standstill, the drive inverter delivers the power to keep the motor in position. The position must be safely monitored after a specified, safety-related time has elapsed (SOS function according to EN 61800‑5‑2). Any movement at standstill triggers the safety sub-function STO. STO means that standstill has to be ensured by a mechanical brake.

This safety sub-function corresponds to a controlled stop of the drive according to EN 60204‑1, stop category 2.

INFORMATION

  • The SS2-t function does not monitor the stopping of the drive.
  • The safety-relevant period of time Δt allows the drive to come to a stop. In the event of a fault, the drive does not come to a stop and only becomes de-energized at the time t2 (STO).
