automated systems and must be used as follows:
–
in excellent technical condition
–
in original status, without unauthorised modifications
–
within the limits of the product defined by the technical data (
appendix A.1)

in an industrial environment
The safety circuit of the CMCA control solution is only one part of the the safety concept for a machine,
whereby the safety concept must be based on a risk assessment of the entire machine to be performed
by the machine manufacturer.
Note
In the event of damage caused by unauthorised manipulation or other than intended
