Note
The description of the electric installation in this chapter requires completely mounted
and installed kinematics (
Description of mechanical installation).
For operation of the control system, the following measures must be taken:
–
Use of screened motor connection cables (
motor controller description).
–
The high leakage current can cause problems if a residual current protective device
is used.
Note
Damage to the product from incorrect handling.
•
Never pull the plugs and interfaces when powered.
•
Never plug in plugs and interfaces when powered.
ESD (electrostatic discharge) can cause damage to the device or other system parts at
plug connectors that are not used.
•
Observe the handling specifications for electrostatically sensitive devices.
Note
Unplugging the connection cover or handheld terminal triggers an emergency stop.
•
Put the system at rest before you plug in or unplug the connection cover or handheld
terminal.
Either a handheld terminal or the connection cover must be mounted. Otherwise, the
emergency stop circuit is opened (emergency stop active).
Warning
Danger of injury/damage due to ineffective emergency stop.
A not-connected handheld terminal in reach of the user can result in ineffective use of
the emergency stop switch.
•
Keep a not-connected handheld terminal outside the reach of the user.
Caution
An active emergency stop only has an effect on the electric drives. Any pneumatic com-
ponents that may be on hand are not affected.
•
If necessary, plan corresponding safety equipment for the pneumatic components of
the system. The connection for external emergency stop circuits can be used for
control (
chapter 4.2.6).
