locking. In the case of a malfunction, the drive may accidentally be put into action.
This does not apply to drives with the "Safe Stop" safety feature in accordance with EN 954-1 CAT 3 or with
the "Safe Torque Off" safety feature in accordance with EN 61800-5-2. In the item C 3-Series, these safety
features can be realised, for example, by way of an FSM 2.0 - STO module.
Perform the commissioning with idle motors in order to avoid mechanical damage, e.g. due to an incorrect
direction of rotation.
Electronic devices are never fail-safe. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the system is brought to a
safe state if the electrical device fails.
The servo positioning controller and, in particular, the braking resistor (either external or internal) can exhibit
high temperatures that may cause serious burns if touched.
