3.1 Safety Measures
The following measures are vital to the safety of the system. Carry out the safety
measures with particular care and adapt them to meet the requirements of the system.
WARNING
Safety operating modes such as SafeTorqueOff (STO) from IEC61508-2 cannot
be implemented directly!
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and damage to equipment please observe the
following points:
Install an emergency stop system in keeping with current technical stand-
ards (for example, European norms EN 60204, EN 418, etc.).
Make sure that no one has access to areas of the system with moving
parts.
Install, for example, hardware limit switches for the end positions of the ax-
es that switch off the power control system directly.
Install devices and take steps to protect motors and power electronics.
