safety functions, are in a position to perform the acceptance test in the correct and appropriate
manner.
Wizard for the acceptance test
The "Startdrive Advanced" commissioning tool (requires an appropriate license) includes a
wizard for the acceptance test of the safety functions integrated in the drive.
"Startdrive Advanced" guides you through the acceptance test, generates the appropriate traces
to analyze the machine response – and generates an acceptance report as Excel file.

Reduced acceptance test after function expansions
A full acceptance test is necessary only after first commissioning. A reduced acceptance test is
sufficient when safety functions are expanded.
