49.1 Safety Instructions
During operation there are deadly hazards, with the possibility of
death, severe injury or material damage. Do not open or touch the
equipment during operation. Keep all covers and cabinet doors closed
during operation. Touching the equipment is allowed during instal-
lation and commissioning for properly qualified persons only.
l
During operation, drives may have uncovered live components,
depending on their level of enclosure protection.
l
Control and power connections may be live, even though the motor
is not rotating.
l
Drives may have hot surfaces during operation. Heat sink can reach
temperatures above 80°C.
Electronic equipment can fail. The user is responsible for ensuring
that, in the event of a failure of the servo amplifier, the drive is set to a
state that is safe for both machinery and personnel, for instance with
the aid of a mechanical brake.
Drives with servo amplifiers and EtherCAT are remote-controlled
machines. They can start to move at any time without previous warn-
ing. Take appropriate measures to ensure that the operating and serv-
ice personnel is aware of this danger.
Implement appropriate protective measures to ensure that any unin-
tended start-up of the machines cannot result in dangerous situations
for personnel or machinery. Software limit-switches are not a substitute
for the hardware limit-switches in the machine.
Install the drive as described in the Installation Manual . Never break
any of the electrical connections to the drive while it is live. This can
result in destruction of the electronics
Do not connect the Ethernet line for the PC with the set up software to
the EtherCAT interface X5/X6. The set up Ethernet cable must be con-
nected to the service interface on X11
49.2 Use as directed
Drives are components that are built into electrical plants or machines and can only be operated as inte-
gral components of these plants or machines. The manufacturer of the machine used with a drive must
generate a risk assessment for the machine and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen
movements cannot cause personnel injury or property damage.
l
Observe the chapters "Use as directed” and "Prohibited use" in the AKD PDMM Installation Manual .
l
The EtherCAT interface serves only for the connection of the AKD PDMM to a master with EtherCAT
connectivity.
49.3 Prohibited use
Other use than that described in chapter “Use as directed” is not intended and can lead to personnel inju-
ries and equipment damage. The drive may not be used with a machine that does not comply with appro-
priate national directives or standards. The use of the drive in the following environments is also
prohibited:
l
potentially explosive areas
l
environments with corrosive and/or electrically conductive acids, alkaline solutions, oils, vapors,
dusts
