Dunkermotoren’s dSafe technology outfits brushless DC motors with PROFIsafe and FSoE protocols to execute safety functions such as safe torque off and safely limited speed.
Dunkermotoren Introduces dSafe Technology for BG75 and BG95 Motor Series
For years, Dunkermotoren has been using a common safety protocol that provides secure signals over an Ethernet topology. This allows machine manufacturers to shorten integration cabling times.
Recently, Dunkermotoren, which offers small and large DC and AC motors, linear systems, gearboxes, and encoders, launched dSafe technology for its BG75 and BG95 brushless DC motor series.
dSafe can perform functions such as Safe Torque Off (STO), Safely Limited Speed (SLS), and Safe Stop (SS1), which ensure motors stop safely, via communication protocols like FSoE or PROFIsafe. This eliminates the need for wiring safety outputs and simplifies troubleshooting.
dSafe is currently only available in Dunkermotoren's BG75 and BG95 series brushless DC motors. This technology allows users to avoid the complex cabling required by traditional setups.

Safe Machine Operation with dSafe
Dunkermotoren's dSafe technology allows users to avoid the complex cabling required by traditional setups.
What is Safely Limited Speed (SLS)?
The SLS function ensures that motors automatically reduce their speed in situations where operators interact closely with machines. Typically, a field scanner detects operators and signals the motors to reduce their speed. This increases the reaction time for operators or force sensors.
What are Safe Stop 1 (SS1) and Safe Torque Off (STO)?
There are two ways to stop a motor: cut all power and apply the brake, or signal the motor to stop safely. The second method minimizes motor wear. The safety output signal is used to stop the motor in a controlled manner. Once the motor has completely stopped, protective doors can be opened, and the operator can enter.
If your motor does not have a safe stop function, the control system drops the STO signal, stopping the motor in an uncontrolled manner, similar to sudden braking in a vehicle. These functions are critical for stopping the motor and allowing operators to safely enter the area.
Integrated Functional Safety
Dunkermotoren remains competitive by offering customers the ability to issue safety commands more efficiently without excessive cabling. dSafe technology aims to enhance safety.
