•
As the operator of an EMF-emitting installation, assess
the individual risks of persons with active implants. The
following clearances are usually adequate:
- No clearance to closed control cabinets and shielded
MOTION-CONNECT supply cables
-
Forearm length (approx. 35 cm clearance) to
distributed drive systems and open control cabinets
WARNING
Active implant malfunctions due to permanent-magnet
fields
Even when switched off, electric motors with permanent
magnets represent a potential risk for persons with heart
pacemakers or implants if they are close to
converters/motors.
•
If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, maintain a
minimum distance of 2 m.
•
When transporting or storing permanent-magnet motors
always use the original packing materials with the warning
labels attached.
•
Clearly mark the storage locations with the appropriate
warning labels.
•
IATA regulations must be observed when transported by
air.
WARNING
Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio
devices or mobile phones
When radio devices or mobile phones with a transmission
power > 1 W are used in the immediate vicinity of
components, they may cause the equipment to malfunction.
Malfunctions may impair the functional safety of machines
and can therefore put people in danger or lead to property
damage.
•
If you come closer than around 2 m to such components,
switch off any radios or mobile phones.
•
Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support app" only on
equipment that has already been switched off.
WARNING
Damage to motor insulation due to excessive voltages
When operated on systems with grounded line conductor or
in the event of a ground fault in the IT system, the motor
insulation can be damaged by the higher voltage to ground.
If you use motors that have insulation that is not designed
for operation with grounded line conductors, you must
perform the following measures:
•
IT system: Use a ground fault monitor and eliminate the
fault as quickly as possible.
•
TN or TT systems with grounded line conductor: Use an
isolating transformer on the line side.
WARNING
Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive
safety functions
Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger
unexpected machine movements that may result in serious
injury or death.
•
Observe the information in the appropriate product
documentation before commissioning.
•
Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to
safety on the entire system, including all safety-related
components.
•
Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and
automation tasks are adjusted and activated through
appropriate parameterizing.
•
Perform a function test.
•
Only put your plant into live operation once you have
guaranteed that the functions relevant to safety are
running correctly.
WARNING
Unrecognized dangers due to missing or illegible
warning labels
Dangers might not be recognized if warning labels are
missing or illegible. Unrecognized dangers may cause
accidents resulting in serious injury or death.
•
Check that the warning labels are complete based on the
documentation.
•
Attach any missing warning labels to the components,
where necessary in the national language.
•
Replace illegible warning labels.
NOTICE
Device damage caused by incorrect voltage/insulation
tests
Incorrect voltage/insulation tests can damage the device.
•
Before carrying out a voltage/insulation check of the
system/machine, disconnect the devices as all converters
and motors have been subject to a high voltage test by
the manufacturer, and therefore it is not necessary to
perform an additional test within the system/machine.
WARNING
Injury caused by moving or ejected parts
Contact with moving motor parts or drive output elements
and the ejection of loose motor parts (e.g. feather keys) out
of the motor enclosure can result in severe injury or death.
•
Remove any loose parts or secure them so that they
cannot be flung out.
•
Do not touch any moving parts.
•
Safeguard all moving parts using the appropriate safety
guards.
NOTE
Important safety notices for Safety Integrated functions
If you want to use Safety Integrated functions, you must
observe the safety notices in the Safety Integrated manuals.
WARNING
Malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or
changed parameter settings
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization,
machines can malfunction, which in turn can lead to injuries
or death.
•
Protect the parameterization (parameter assignments)
against unauthorized access.
•
Handle possible malfunctions by taking suitable
measures, e.g. emergency stop or emergency off.
WARNING
Fire due to inadequate ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of
components with subsequent fire and smoke. This can
cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in
increased downtime and reduced service lives for
devices/systems.
•
Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance
as ventilation clearance for the respective component.
WARNING
Fire due to inadequate cooling
Inadequate cooling can cause the motor to overheat,
resulting in death or severe injury as a result of smoke and
fire. This can also result in increased failures and reduced
service lives of motors.
•
Comply with the specified cooling requirements for the
motor.
WARNING
Fire due to incorrect operation of the motor
When incorrectly operated and in the case of a fault, the
