2.4 Intended use
The encoTRive drive system is generally intended as a decentralized positioning drive for setting up
and adjustment tasks, or for travel and rotational movements in the industrial area for fixed installation
in machines and systems, which are not subject to special electrical and mechanical safety require-
ments.
The encoTRive drive system with the integrated safety-oriented functions STO (Safe Torque Off) or
SS1 (Safe Stop 1) safely switches off the motor torque under defined conditions. With these safety-
oriented functions, the encoTRive can be used in machines and systems that require the protection
goal “
Safe switch-off of mo
tor torque”
. The complete processing chain of the safety function must
then satisfy the requirements of the applied safety standard.
The system manufacturer must check that the characteristics of the encoTRive satisfy his application-
specific safety requirements. The responsibility or decision regarding the use of the encoTRive lies
with the system manufacturer.
Proper use also includes:
● observing all instructions in the further applicable documents,
● observing the nameplate and any prohibition or instruction signs on the encoTRive,
● observing attached documents,
● operating the encoTRive within the limit values specified in the technical data,
● observing the specified conditions for safe operation of the encoTRive,
● using the checklist in this document
2.5 Improper use
