Safety message buffer in the SINAMICS S120 drive 
Errors in the safety function in the drive itself or stop responses initiated by monitoring 
functions will be displayed in the drive using a safety fault. The safety faults are stored in the 
safety message buffer.

Safety faults can only be acknowledged fail-safe: 
●  By a fail-safe CPU via the PROFIsafe-Signal Internal_Event_Acknowledge bit 7 
of the PROFIsafe control word 
or 
●  via a terminal on the TM54F 
An entry in the safety message buffer is displayed with bit 15, Internal_Event, in 
StatuswordSafety in the TO DB of the axis. If this bit is set, error ID 8140 will be displayed in 
the TO DB of the axis. 
The cause of the fault can be read by the user program from the p9744-p9756 
drive parameters.
