Commissioning - acceptance tests

5.1

Introduction

General information
Requirements regarding acceptance tests are derived from the EU Machinery Directive (and
DIN EN ISO 13849‑1). Accordingly, the machine manufacturer (OEM) is responsible for the
following measures:
● Perform an acceptance test for safety-related functions and machine parts,
● Issue an "Acceptance certificate" that includes the results of the test.
When using the Safety Integrated function, the acceptance test is used to check the correct
configuring of the SI monitoring functions used in the drive. The test objective is to verify the
correct implementation of the defined safety functions, to check the implemented test
mechanisms (forced checking procedure measures) and to examine the response of individual
monitoring functions by explicitly violating tolerance limits. This should be carried out for all
safety functions, i.e. for the axial monitoring functions, the safety-related I/O etc.
Note
Purpose of the acceptance test
The acceptance test is designed to ensure that the safety functions are correctly
parameterized.
The measured values (e.g. distance, time) and the system behavior identified (e.g. initiation
of a specific stop) can be used for checking the plausibility of the configured safety functions.
The objective of an acceptance test is to identify potential configuration errors and/or to
document the correct function of the configuration. The measured values are typical values
(not worst case values). They represent the behavior of the machine at the time of
measurement. These measurements cannot be used to derive real values (e.g. maximum
values for over-travel distances).
Note
If the machine data for SI functions is changed, a new acceptance test must be performed for
the modified SI function and documented in the acceptance report.
Note
The acceptance test must also be performed for the TM54F and the devices connected to the
TM54F.
