Chapter 6 Safety Functions
Safety Considerations
The system operator is responsible for the following:
•
Setup, safety rating, and validation of any sensors or actuators connected
to the system
•
Completion of a machine-level risk assessment and reassess the system
anytime a change is made
•
Certification of the machine to the desired ISO 13849-1 performance level
or EN/IEC 62061 SIL CL level
•
Project management and proof testing in accordance with ISO 13849-1
•
Programming the application software and the drive configurations in
accordance with the information in this manual
•
Access control to the system
•
Analyze all configuration settings and choose the proper setting to
achieve the required safety rating
•
Validation and documentation of all safety functions used
•
Performance of necessary proof tests and periodic safety checks
ATTENTION:
The drive is suitable for performing mechanical work on
the drive train or affected area of a machine only. It does not provide
electrical safety.
ATTENTION:
The drive does not remove dangerous voltages at the drive
output. Before performing any electrical work on the drive or motor, turn
off the input power to the drive, and follow all safety procedures.
ATTENTION:
Failure to maintain the specified ambient temperature can
result in a failure of the safety function.
ATTENTION:
Personnel responsible for the application of safety-related
programmable electronic systems (PES) must be aware of the safety
requirements in the application of the system and must be trained in
use of the system.
ATTENTION:
When designing your system, consider how various
personnel can interact with the machine. Additional safeguard devices
can be required for your specific application.
ATTENTION:
In circumstances where external influences (for example,
suspended loads that can fall) are present, additional measures (for
example, mechanical brakes) can be necessary to help prevent any
hazard.
