Safety Precautions
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects for the optimum protec-
tion of the personnel as well as for safe and trouble-free operation at the machine or
installation on site. The observance of this is an important precondition for the safe and
trouble-free operation.
2.2 Contents of the Operating Manual
All persons assigned to work on or with the feedback module must have read and under-
stood this operating manual before beginning work with the feedback module. This also
applies if the person concerned has already worked with such a feedback module or a
similar feedback module or has been trained by the manufacturer.
2.3 Alterations and Rebuilding of the Feedback Option Module
In order to avoid hazards and ensure optimum performance, neither alterations, additions
nor rebuilding work may be conducted on the feedback module unless explicitly author-
ized by the manufacturer.
2.4 Intended Use
The feedback module is an electrical equipment designed for being attached to an appli-
cable Sigma-5 or Sigma-7 SERVOPACK. It is exclusively designed and constructed for
the intended purpose of use described here.
It enables the detection of the position of the controlled machine and the feedback of the
machine position to the SERVOPACK with various types of third-party encoders. It also
serves as additional feedback for the speed and position control loop when information
from the mechanical system, i.e. the load, is required (dual loop functionality).
You are using the feedback module according to the terms, as soon as you regard all
notes and information in this operating manual.
WARNING!
Danger due to use other than intended!
Any use of the feedback module different from and/or exceeding beyond
the scope of the intended use can lead to dangerous situations.
Therefore:
–
Only use the feedback module as intended.
–
Only use the feedback module in combination with compatible
devices.
–
Follow all specifications of this operating manual.
–
Ensure that exclusively qualified personnel work on or with the feed-
back module.
–
Take care in project planning to see that the feedback module is
always used within its specifications.
–
Ensure that the power supply meets the required specifications.
–
Only operate the feedback module if it is in technically faultless condi-
tion.
