Preparation
WARNING
Establish the voltage-free and de-energized condition
Remove all fuses in the supply network and turn off the main
switch on the control cabinet. Secure the control cabinet against
being switched on again.
Although a distributed servo drive is no longer rotating, voltage
on the control and power connections or a residual voltage in the
capacitors of the coupling modules can lead to serious injuries.
Mount the coupling modules vertically and with sufficient ven-
tilation
Observe the permissible data for operation and environment as
well as the notes in this chapter.
Inadequate ventilation and incorrect installation can lead to dam-
age to the coupling module and its components due to heat devel-
opment.
Note that when dimensioning you may have to mount input filters,
mains chokes and brake resistors for your application. Appropriate
space should be provided for these components, so that adequate
ventilation is ensured.
