1.2 Safety and operating instructions
Supplementary information
•
This manual is intended as a supplement to already existing documentation (catalogues, data sheets
and assembly instructions).
•
The manual must be read carefully before initial commissioning of the equipment.
Intended purpose of hardware and software
•
The encoder is a precision measurement device. It is used to determine angular positions and
revolutions, and to prepare and supply measured values in the form of electrical output signals for the
follow-on device systems. The encoder may only be used for this purpose.
•
The ENCODERmaster software, in combination with a electronic device (BiSS Adaptor), must solely be
used to program assigned Baumer encoders listed in table 1.
Commissioning
•
Installation and assembly by suitably qualified experts only.
•
Observe the manufacturers operating instructions of all related machines.
Safety remarks
•
Prior to commissioning the equipment, check all electrical connections.
•
If installation, electrical connection or any other work performed at the encoder or at the equipment is not
correctly executed, malfunction or failure of the equipment can result.
•
Steps must be taken to exclude any risk of personal injury, damage to the plant or to the operating
equipment as a result of encoder failure or malfunction by providing suitable safety precautions.
•
Encoders and equipment must not be operated outside the specified limited values (see detailed product
documentation).
Failure to comply with the safety remarks can result in malfunctions, personal injury or damage to property.
Transport and storage
•
Always transport or store encoders in their original packaging.
•
Never drop encoders and equipment or expose them to major vibrations.
Assembly
•
Avoid impacts or shocks on the housing and shaft.
•
Avoid any twist or torsion on the housing.
•
Never make rigid connections between the encoder shaft and drive shaft.
•
Do not open the encoder or make any mechanical changes to it.
The shaft, ball bearings, glass pane or electronic components can be damaged. In this case, safe and
reliable operation cannot be guaranteed.
Electrical commissioning
•
Do not make any electrical changes at the encoder.
•
Do not carry out any wiring work while the encoder is in operation.
•
Never plug or unplug the electrical connection while the encoder is in operation.
•
Ensure that the entire plant is installed in line with EMC requirements. The installation environment and
wiring affect the electromagnetic compatibility of the encoder. Install the encoder and supply cables
separately or at a long distance from cables with high interference emissions (frequency converters,
contactors etc.)
•
Where working with consumers which have high interference emissions, make available a separate
power supply.
•
Completely shield the housings and connecting cables.
•
Connect the encoder to the protective earth (PE) conductor using shielded cable. The braided shield
must be connected to the cable gland or plug. Ideally, aim at bilateral connection to protective earth (PE),
the housing via the mechanical assembly, the cable shield via the downstream connected devices. In
case of earth loop problems, earth on one side only as a minimum requirement.
