• in particular, fully understanding the relationships with regard to safety devices,
• as well as to carry out the wiring of electronic components correctly and
• to have knowledge of the function and interaction of electronic, mechanical and
hydraulic components.
Only trained and experienced specialists who are adequately familiar with both the
components used and the complete system should implement system developments
or install and commission electronic systems for controlling hydraulic drives.
Bosch Rexroth offers you measures supporting training in specific areas.

2.5 General safety instructions
• Reliable operation cannot be guaranteed if samples or prototypes are used in
series production machines.
• The possible circuits for the system do not imply any technical liability for
Bosch Rexroth.
• Incorrect connections could cause unexpected signals at the outputs of the
control unit.
• Incorrect programming or parameterization of the control unit may lead to dangers
when operating the machine. It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to
identify this type of hazard within the scope of a hazard analysis and to bring them
to the attention of the end user. Rexroth is not liable for any hazards of this kind.
• The component firmware/software must be installed and removed by
Bosch Rexroth or the responsible authorized partner in order to ensure that the
warranty does not expire.
• It is not permissible to open, modify or repair the control unit. Modifications to or
repairs on the wiring can lead to dangerous malfunctions. Repairs to the control
unit may only be performed by Bosch Rexroth or by an authorized partner.
• The stop switch (two-channel deactivation) can be used for deactivation in
emergency situations. The switch must be installed in an easily accessible position
for the operator. The system must be designed in such a way that safe braking is
ensured when the outputs are switched off.
• Make sure no pins are charged with a voltage source when the electronics are not
receiving power.
• Make sure that the control unit's configuration does not lead to safety-critical
malfunctions of the complete system in the event of failure or malfunction. Such
system behavior could result in death or serious property damage.
• Only trained and experienced specialists who are adequately familiar with
both the components used and the complete system should implement system
developments or install and commission electronic systems for controlling
hydraulic drives.
• The machine may cause unforeseen hazards during control unit start-up and
maintenance. The vehicle and hydraulic system must therefore be in a safe state
during such work.
• Therefore, make sure that nobody is in the machine's danger zone.
