2.2
Safety instructions
In addition to the safety risks described in this technical manual, machine-specific dangers
could arise that cannot be foreseen by the manufacturer of the Motion Controller (e.g., risk
of injury from driven components). The manufacturer of the machine in which the Motion
Controller is installed must perform a risk analysis in accordance with the regulations appli-
cable to the machine and inform the end user of the residual risks.
2.2.1
Dangers in the event of damages and changes
Damage to the Motion Controller can impair its functions. A damaged Motion Controller
can unexpectedly start, stop or jam. This can result in damage to other components and
materials.
Do
not
start up a drive system with a defective or damaged Motion Controller.
Appropriately mark a defective or damaged Motion Controller.
Do
not
replace defective or damaged components of the Motion Controller.
Make no changes (modifications, repairs) to the Motion Controller.
Have loose or defective connections immediately replaced by an electrician.
After replacing a defective or damaged Motion Controller, test and document the cor-
rect function.
2.2.2
Correct installation and commissioning
Errors during the installation and commissioning of the Motion Controller could impair its
function. An incorrectly installed Motion Controller can unexpectedly start, stop or jam.
This can result in damage to other components and materials.
Follow the instructions for installation and commissioning given in these installation
instructions exactly.
Only have work on electrical operating equipment performed by an electrician.
During all work on the electrical equipment, observe the 5 safety rules:
a) Disconnect from power
b) Secure against being switched on again
c) Check that no voltage is present
d) Ground and short-circuit
e) Cover or block-off adjacent parts that are under voltage
Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronics.
Store and transport the Motion Controller in suitable ESD packaging.
Handle the Motion Controller in compliance with the ESD handling regulations (e.g.
wear an ESD wristband, ground surrounding components).
During installation, ensure that components in the surroundings cannot be electrostat-
ically discharged.
