2.0 Risk Assessment & Responsibility of the Installer
The STO feature of the
Xenus Plus Compact
is capable of the safety integrity level and category/performance
level stated in this manual and operates in accordance with the characteristics and limitations described herein.
But it must be noted that the drive STO function is intended to be used only as one element of an overall safety
chain and is not a complete safety function unto itself. Therefore the suitability for use of the
Xenus Plus
Compact
in a given application must be determined in part by one or more risk assessments of the overall
safety of the end machine conducted in accordance with the applicable standards. Such risk assessments
normally consist of a thorough review of overall machine operation to identify potential hazards. For each
identified hazard, typical risk assessments take into account the severity of any potential injury resulting from the
hazard, the frequency of exposure of persons to the hazard and the probability that persons are able to avoid
the hazard if it were to occur. The machine designer is solely responsible for conducting any necessary risk
assessments and for the ultimate determination as to the suitability of the
Xenus Plus Compact
and its STO
function for use in realizing a given overall safety function. The installer should be experienced in motion control
and functional safety.
