Protection against dangerous movements
Warning
High acceleration forces of the connected actuators.
Uncontrolled movements can cause collisions which can
lead to serious injury.
Dangerous movements due to incorrect control of
connected actuators, for example caused by:
– untidy or faulty wiring/cabling
– errors in operating the components
– errors in the measured value and signal encoders
– defective or non-EMC-compliant components
– errors in the higher-order control system
Switching off the compressed air or load voltage is not a
suitable locking mechanism. In the event of a malfunction,
this could lead to unintentional movement of the drive.
Before carrying out assembly, installation and
•
maintenance work, place the system in a safe state
(e.g. by placing the drive in a safe position and
deactivating the controller).
Only carry out work in the machine area when the
compressed air and power supply are switched off and
locked.
Make sure that no personnel enters the sphere of
•
influence of the drives or other connected actuators.
Only switch on the compressed air when the system has
•
been installed and parameterised by technically
qualified staff.
