On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
 Please read this chapter carefully before working with a MELSEC-WS safety
controller.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The MELSEC-WS safety controller must be installed, configured, commissioned and
serviced only by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined
as persons who

have undergone the appropriate technical training
and

have been instructed by the responsible machine operator in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and

are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and work safety regulations,
directives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE
stipulations, engineering regulations from other EC member states) that they can
assess the work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and

have access to the MELSEC-WS manuals and have and read and familiarised
themselves with them
and

have access to the operating instructions for the protective devices (e.g. C4000)
connected to the safety controller and have read and familiarised themselves with
them.
2.2 Correct use
The Setting and Monitoring Tool is used to configure a MELSEC-WS safety
controller consisting of modules of the safety controller.
The MELSEC-WS safety controller may only be used by qualified safety personnel
and only at the machine at which it was mounted and initially commissioned by
qualified safety personnel in accordance with the MELSEC-WS manuals.
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation accepts no claims for liability if the software or the
devices are used in any other way or if modifications are made to the software or the
devices - even in the context of mounting and installation.

Observe the safety instructions and protective measures of the Safety Controller
User’s Manual and this manual!

When implementing a safety-relevant functional logic, ensure that the regulations
of the national and international rules and standards are observed, in particular
the controlling strategies and the measures for risk minimisation that are
mandatory for your application.
