Functional Safety

Aug. 25, 2025

Kollmorgen’s SafeMotion Monitor (SMM2.0) firmware allows OEMs to leverage SMM functional safety features with more encoder and motor types to support a wider range of applications such as material forming, multi-axis measurement equipment, food processing and food packaging. SMM2.0 is now compatible with all motors that feature any Hiperface-DSL rotary-safe feedback system. This includes the AKM2G and AKMA motor lines, which now feature a wider range of feedback system options. SMM2.0 also enables a second instance of Safe Operating Stop for greater design flexibility. SMM2.0 has 16 safety features, including SafePosition, SafeStop and SafeSpeed.
