Omron G9SP-N20S Operation Manuals page 16

This is the Operation Manual for the G9SP-series Safety Controllers.
Obey the following warnings during system construction to ensure that safety-related components are configured to
enable the system functions to sufficiently operate.
●
Risk Assessment
The proper use of the safety devices described in this manual as they relate to installation conditions and mechanical
performance and functions is a prerequisite for its use.
When selecting or using the safety devices, risk assessment must be performed during the development stage of the
equipment or facilities to identify potential danger factors in equipment or facilities in which the safety devices are to be
applied. Suitable safety devices must be selected under the guidance of a sufficient risk assessment system. An insuf-
ficient risk assessment system may result in the selection of unsuitable safety devices.
• Typical related international standards: ISO 14121, Safety of Machinery -- Principles of Risk Assessment
●
Safety Measures
When using this safety device to build systems containing safety-related components for equipment or facilities, the
system must be designed with the full understanding of and conformance to international standards, such as those
listed below, and/or standards in related industries.
• Typical related international standards: ISO/DIS 12100, Safety of Machinery -- Basic Concepts and General
Principles for Design
IEC 61508, Safety Standard for Safety Instrumented Systems (Functional Safety of Electrical/Elec-
tronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems)
●
Role of Safety Devices
The safety devices are provided with safety functions and mechanisms as stipulated in relevant standards, but suitable
designs must be used to enable these functions and mechanisms to operate properly inside system constructions con-
taining safety-related components. Build systems that enable these functions and mechanisms to perform properly,
based on a full understanding of their operation.
• Typical related international standards: ISO 14119, Safety of machinery -- Interlocking devices associated with
guards -- Principles for design and selection
●
Installation of Safety Devices
The construction and installation of systems with safety-related components for equipment or facilities must be per-
formed by technicians who have received suitable training.
• Typical related international standards: ISO/DIS 12100, Safety of Machinery -- Basic Concepts and General
Principles for Design
IEC 61508, Safety Standard for Safety Instrumented Systems (Functional Safety of Electrical/Elec-
tronic/Programmable Electronic Safety-related Systems)
●
Compliance with Laws and Regulations
This safety device conforms to the relevant regulations and standards, but make sure that it is used in compliance with
local regulations and standards for the equipment or facilities in which it is applied.
• Typical related international standards: IEC 60204, Safety of Machinery -- Electrical Equipment of Machines
●
Observing Precautions for Use
When putting the selected safety device to actual use, heed the specifications and precautions in this manual and
those in the instruction manual that comes with the product. Using a product in a manner that deviates from these
specifications and precautions will lead to unexpected failures in equipment or devices, and to damage that results
from such failures, due to insufficient operating functions in safety-related components.
●
Moving or Transferring Devices or Equipment
When moving or transferring devices or equipment, be sure to include this manual to ensure that the person to whom
the device or equipment is being moved or transferred will be able to operate it properly.
