Protection during commissioning and operation
Falling or violently ejected components
Falling and violently ejected components can cause serious injuries
and even death.
• The danger zone must be cordoned off by a protective barrier.
• Never step into the danger zone during operation.
Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while work-
ing with the product.
• Switch off the energy supply and ensure that no residual energy
remains.
• The faulty actuation of conected drives may cause dangerous
movements.
• Operating mistakes, faulty parameterization during commission-
ing or software errors may trigger dangerous movements.
• Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its ac-
tion being dependent on the control unit and the current operat-
ing condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work, modifica-
tions, and attachments outside the danger zone defined by the
movement range.
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to the
movement range of the machine must be restricted. Restrict un-
intentional access by persons to this range e.g. via a protective
cover, protective fence or photoelectric barrier. The protective
cover and protective fence must be rigid enough to withstand the
maximum possible movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP switch-
es must be easily and quickly accessible. Check the function of the
EMREGENCY STOP before starting up the machine or system. If
this protective equipment is not working properly, prevent the
operation of the machine.
