6.3.3  Message frame structure 
Safety data block 
The SIMATIC S7 Technology support for SINAMICS Safety Integrated extended functions 
requires an extension of the actual value message frame with the safety data block 
(3 words). The message frame extension of the input data of the axis message frame is set 
in S7T Config using the dialog, SINAMICS Device > Communication > 
Message frame configuration. 
Structure of the drive message frame 
The following figure shows the structure of the drive message frame with safety data block.

Note 
The PROFIdrive actual value message frame including the safety data block 
is received by the integrated technology of the T(F)-CPU. The safety data block is used 
exclusively by the Axis technology object and the user program to obtain information on the 
status of the Safety Integrated functions of the drive. The safety data block enables the 
Axis technology object and the user program to respond to the 
SINAMICS Safety Integrated functions. 
NOTICE 
The safety data block is not a fail-safe mechanism.
