Product overview
2.1.1
Purpose
As processes become increasingly automated, protecting people from potentially hazardous move
ments is gaining in importance. Functional safety describes the measures offered by electrical or elec
tronic devices that are required to reduce or eliminate malfunction-induced hazards. In normal opera
tion, safety devices prevent human intervention in hazardous areas. In certain operating modes, during
set-up for example, people also need to be in hazardous areas. In such situations, the machine oper
ator must be protected by drive and internal control measures.
Integrated functional safety engineering provides the conditions required by controller and drive for the
optimised achievement of protective functions. Planning and installation complexity is reduced. The
use of integrated functional safety engineering increases machine functionality and availability over the
levels achieved by conventional safety engineering.

2.1.2
Supported devices
The safety module CAMC-G-S1 can only be used in motor controllers in conformity with section 1.1.2.
The motor controllers CMMP-AS-…-M3 are delivered without a module in the Ext3 slot.
The use of safety module CAMC-G-S1 enables the safety functions, described in this documentation for
the integrated functional safety of safety stops, to be expanded.
If no safety functions are required, the switch module CAMC-DS-M1 must be ordered and
mounted in the Ext3 slot.
