Safety note

VIII
Protection against dangerous movements
Warning
High acceleration forces at the connected actuators!
Unexpected motion can cause collisions and severe
injuries.
Dangerous movements can occur through faulty
controlling of connected actuators, e.g. via:
– unsafe or faulty circuitry or cabling,
– faulty operation of the components,
– faults in the measured value and signal generators,
– faulty or non-EMC-compliant components,
– faults in the higher-order control system.
Before carrying out assembly, installation and
•
maintenance work, always switch off the power supply
and compressed air supply.
Always make sure that the compressed air supply and
power supply are switched off and locked before
working in the machine area.
Make sure that no persons are in the operating range of
•
the drives or any other connected actuators.
Simply switching off the compressed air supply or load
•
voltage are not suitable locking procedures. In the event
of a fault, this could lead to unintentional movement of
the drive.
Do not switch on the compressed air supply until the
•
system is correctly installed and parameterised.
If used in safety relevant applications, additional
•
measures are necessary, e.g. in Europe the standards
listed under the EU machine guidelines must be
observed. Without additional measures in accordance
with statutory minimum requirements, the product is not
suitable for use in safety-related sections of control
systems.
