Basic information11 04/2019 - V01 DS 400.2Safety advices 2.11 Safety advicesMachinery directiveThe manufacturer of the machine or installation must draw up a hazard analysis for his product.He must make sure that any unpredictable movements do not cause damage neither to personsnor to property.Skilled personnelHardwareThe skilled qualified personnel must feature a training and instruction for an assignment in thefield of electronic drive engineering. They must have knowledge of the standards and accidentprevention regulations for drive engineering applications and they must be familiar with this fieldof activity. Eventually occuring dangerous situations are realized.The local regulations (IEC, VDE, VGB) are known to the qualified personnel and they are observedduring the works.SoftwareThe skilled qualified personnel for handling the software must be trained to safely program theunits in the machines and installations. Incorrect parameter settings may cause improper andimpermissible movements. Any parameter settings have to be checked for faulty operation.Acceptance tests must be thoroughly carried out according the four-eyes principleWorking environmentIncorrect handling of the units may cause damage to persons or property.When operating the units the switch cabinet must be closed and the safety systems must beenabled! Exceptions to this are the first commissioning or if switch cabinet repair works have tobe carried out by the skilled qualified personnel.Any unit covers must not be removed!Disconnect the power supply prior to any works on electric connections and safeguard the switchcabinet against switching-on.Any voltages and residual voltages (buffer circuit) must be measured prior to any works on theunit. Max. permissible voltage <42 V.High temperatures > 70°C may arise.The working environment may be dangerous for persons having electronic medical aids orappliances (e.g. cardiac pacemakers). Sufficient distance to these electrical parts must beobserved.ExposureDuring transport and storage the prescribed and specified climatic conditions must be adhered to.The units must not be mechanically damaged. Warped and bent housing parts may influence ordamage the isolation distances. Damaged units must never be installed!The units comprise parts which may be damaged by electrostatic discharge. The generalrecommendations for handling electrostatic devices must be observed. Special attention shouldbe paid to strongly isolating plastic films and synthetic fiber.For the operation it must be ensured that the environmental conditions in the switch cabinet areadhered to. This applies in particular to the impermissible condensation on the units.
