Safety
1.1.1 Safety instructions for commissioning, repair and de-commissioning
Warning
Danger of electric shock
–
If cables are not mounted to the plug X2.
–
If connecting cables are disconnected when energised.
Touching live parts causes severe injuries and may lead to death.
The product may only be operated in the installed state and when all safeguards have been
initiated.
Before touching live parts during maintenance, repair and cleaning work, and after been long
service interruptions:
Switch off power to the electrical equipment via the mains switch and secure it against being
switched on again.
After switching off, allow to discharge for at least 10 minutes and check that power is turned
off before accessing the controller. Make sure that the charge lamp on the front of the
controller is off.
Note
Danger from unexpected movement of the motor or axis
–
Make sure that motion does not endanger anyone.
–
Perform a risk assessment in accordance with the EC machinery directive.
–
Based on this risk assessment, design the safety system for the entire machine, taking
into account all integrated components. This also includes the electric drives.
–
Bypassing safety equipment is impermissible.
1.1.2 Protection against electric shock through protective extra-low voltage (PELV)
Warning
Use only PELV circuits in accordance with IEC/EN 60204-1 (protective extra-low voltage,
PELV) for electrical power supply. Also comply with the general requirements for PELV
circuits specified in IEC/EN 60204-1.
Use only power sources which guarantee reliable electrical disconnection of the operating
voltage as per IEC/EN 60204-1.
Protection against electric shock (protection against direct and indirect contact) is ensured in accordance
with IEC/EN 60204-1 through the use of PELV circuits (Electrical equipment of machines, general
requirements).
