Safety notices
SINAMICS devices and AC motors must only be commissioned by suitably qualified

When electrical equipment and motors are operated, the electrical circuits automatically
conduct a dangerous voltage.
When the machine or system is operated, hazardous axis movements can occur.
All of the work carried-out on the electrical machine or system must be carried-out with it in
a no-voltage condition.
Note
Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)
When the European common market was launched, a decision was made that the domestic
Typicals and regulations of all of the EU Member States relating to the technical
implementation of machines would be harmonized. This meant that, as an internal market
directive, the content of the Machinery Directive had to be implemented by the individual
member states as national legislation. For the Machinery Directive, this was realized with the
objective to achieve standard protective goals thus removing trade barriers resulting from
technical differences. In accordance with the definition of a machine ("an assembly of linked
parts or components, at least one of which moves"), this directive has a very broad scope.
The revised version from 2006, which shall be binding as of Dec. 29, 2009, without
transitional period, has expanded its area of application and now includes "Logic units to
ensure safety functions".
The Machinery Directive involves the implementation of machines. It has 28 Articles and 12
Annexes. The basic safety and health requirements specified in Annex I of the Directive
must be fulfilled for the safety of machines.
The protective goals must be implemented responsibly to ensure compliance with the
Directive.
Manufacturers of a machine must verify that their machine complies with the basic
requirements. This proof is made more simple by applying harmonized Typicals.
