General information on this chapter
2.1
The drive module was designed and manufactured considering the provisions
of directives, standards and specifications relating to this technology. However,
there is still the risk of personal injury and damage to property if you do not ob-
serve this chapter and the safety instructions in this documentation.
Read this documentation completely and thoroughly before working with the
f
drive module.
Also keep the general and product-specific documentation to hand when read-
f
ing this documentation (see Chapter 4 "Scope of delivery").
This documentation together with the relevant product-specific documentation
f
should be kept so as to be readily accessible to all users.
Always include the required documentation when you pass the drive module
f
on to third parties.
Due to the interaction between the drive module and the complete machine, the
installation of the drive module into the machinery will result in additional poten-
tial hazards. This applies in particular to the influence of hydraulic and electric
controls on hydraulic drives generating mechanical movements. It is therefore
essential for the manufacturer of the complete machine to have undertaken an
independent risk assessment. Furthermore, the manufacturer must on this basis
have prepared operating instructions for the complete machine
2.2 Intended use
The drive module constitutes partly completed machinery in terms of EC Ma-
chinery Directive 2006/42/EC. In terms of the EC Machinery Directive, the drive
module is not considered to be a ready-to-use machine. The drive module is
exclusively intended for integration into a machine or system or for assembly with
other components to form a machine or a system. The drive module may be com-
missioned only if it has been integrated into the machine or system for which it is
designed and if the machine or system fully complies with the requirements of the
EC Machinery Directive.
The drive module is not considered to be a safety component in terms of
EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
