The MX2-A
□
inverter with a mounted 3G3AX-MX2-EIP-A option
board is a general purpose product combination. It is a system
component and is used in conjunction with other items of industrial
equipment such as PLCs.
•
A detailed system analysis and job safety analysis should be
performed by the system designer or system integrator before
including the inverter option board combination in any new or
existing system. Consult your OMRON representative for
application specific system integration information if required.
•
The product will be used to control an adjustable speed drive
connected to high voltage sources and rotating machinery that is
inherently dangerous if not operated safely. Interlock all energy
sources, hazardous locations, and guards in order to restrict the
exposure of personnel to hazards. The adjustable speed drive may
start the motor without warning. Signs on the equipment installation
must be posted to this effect. A familiarity with auto-restart settings
is a requirement when controlling adjustable speed drives. Failure of
external or ancillary components may cause intermittent system
operation, i.e., the system may start the motor without warning or
may not stop on command. Improperly designed or improperly
installed system interlocks and permissives may render a motor
unable to start or stop on command.
•
This Instruction Sheet does not contain illustrations of the product
with protective covers removed from the MX2-A
