Safe drive functions have made their mark on standards, products and applications and may now be considered state of the art. They are part of the functional safety plant and machinery and, as measures that boost productivity; they are increasingly gaining ground in the market. When you examine the application of the safety principle within classic safety functions, initiation of the safety function causes the outputs to shut down, and this is described as a "safe condition". With the help of safe drive functions, the motor is braked safely with a defined ramp when a safety gate is opened and then remains at standstill under active control. In jog mode the motor can then be moved at a safely reduced number of cycles and with safely monitored movements. With drive-integrated safety technology, fast, safe drive buses, powerful programmable safety systems and safe camera systems, products are available for high-end safety solutions.
