Commissioning
1. Make sure that each safety function of the system is analysed and validated. It is the responsi-
bility of the operator to determine and verify the required safety classification (safety integrity
level, performance level and category) of the system.
2. Put the servo drive into operation and validate its behaviour in a test run.
During integration of the PDS, observe the measures stipulated by standard EN ISO 13849-1, Chapter
G.4:
–
Functional test
–
Project management
–
Documentation
–
Performance of a black-box test
6.2
Check lists
The safety functions must be validated after installation and after every modification to the installa-
tion. This validation must be documented by the person who commissions the device. To assist you
with commissioning, we have put together some sample questions for risk reduction in the form of the
check lists below.
As the CMMT-ST is a catalogue product, possible use cases can only be determined to a limited
extent. The system manufacturer must perform a risk analysis on the overall system to calculate the
required safety classification for the CMMT-ST and to assess whether the CMMT-ST is suitable for their
application.
The following check lists are no substitute for safety training. No guarantee can be provided for the
completeness of the check lists.
Questions for validation in accordance with EN ISO 12100 (example)
No.
Question
Relevant
Done
1
