Safety instructions
Warning
Planar surface gantries travel with great force and speed. Collisions can lead to serious
injury to people and damage to components.
Make sure that nobody can grasp into the sphere of influence of the planar surface
gantry as well as other connected actuators – e.g. through protective guards – and
no items are located in the travel range as long as the system is connected to energy
sources.
Caution
Unexpected movements of the planar surface gantry due to incorrect parameterisation.
Make sure that an ENABLE signal is not present at the control interfaces when the
controller is switched on.
Parameterise the entire system completely before you activate the output stage.
Caution
Housing surfaces can reach high temperatures. A person touching the surface can be
startled and have uncontrolled reactions, which can result in further injury.
Make sure that the surface cannot be touched accidentally and inform your operat
ing and maintenance staff of the possible hazards.
Note
The controller does not execute direct tasks or records if a valid reference point is not
present (exception, jogging).
Always carry out a homing run every time the logic voltage supply is switched on, in
order to anchor the dimension reference system to the reference point.
Note
Damage to components when the permissible impact pulse is exceeded.
Operate the planar surface gantry only with the maximum permissible load
(

documentation of the planar surface gantry).
Note
Interruption of ongoing tasks due to inadequate load voltage supply.
Make sure that the tolerance of the load voltage supply at the input of the controller
is complied with under full load (
