6.7  Control via PROFIsafe 
Introduction 
The safety functions of the drive can be controlled via terminals and the TM54F module as 
well as the PROFIsafe message frame 30. Each drive with a configured PROFIsafe in the 
drive unit represents a PROFIsafe slave (F-slave) with fail-safe communication to the F-host 
via PROFIBUS. 
A separate PROFIsafe message frame is created for each drive (PROFIsafe slot). 
Control of the basic functions via the Control Unit and Motor Module (p9601.0/p9801.0) 
terminals may be enabled in parallel. In this way, the STO, SBC, and SS1 functions 
(time controlled) can be selected via PROFIsafe as well as via the on-board terminals on the 
Control Unit and Motor Module.
