Intended Use
The drive systems described here are products for general use that conform to the state of the art in technology and are designed to prevent any dangers. However, drives and drive controllers that are not specifically designed for safety functions are not approved for applications where the functioning of the drive could endanger persons. The possibility of unexpected or unbraked movements can never be totally excluded without additional safety equipment.
For this reason personnel must never be in the danger zone of the drives unless additional suitable safety equipment prevents any personal danger. This applies to operation of the machine during production and also to all service and maintenance work on drives and the machine. The machine design must ensure personal safety. Suitable measures for prevention of property damage are also required.
In all cases the applicable safety regulations and the specified operating conditions, such as environmental conditions and specified technical data, must be observed.
The drive system must not be commissioned and operated until completion of instal- lation in accordance with the EMC regulations and the specifications in this manual. To prevent personal injury and damage to property damaged drive systems must not be installed or operated.
Changes and modifications of the drive systems are not permitted and if made all no warranty and liability will be accepted.
The drive system must be operated only with the specified wiring and approved accessories. In general, use only original accessories and spare parts.
The drive systems must not be operated in an environment subject to explosion hazard (ex area).
