Acceptance - completion of commissioning

What is an acceptance?

The machine manufacturer is responsible in ensuring that the plant or machine functions
perfectly. As a consequence, after commissioning, the machine manufacturer must check
those functions or have them checked by specialist personnel, which represent an increased
risk of injury or material damage. This acceptance or validation is, for example, also specified
in the European machinery directive and essentially comprises two parts:
● Acceptance test: Checking the safety-relevant functions and machine parts after startup.
● Documentation: Generate an "Acceptance report" that describes the test results.
Supply information for the validation, e.g. the harmonized European standards
EN ISO 13849‑1 and EN ISO 13849‑2.

Acceptance test of the machine or plant

The acceptance test is used to check whether the safety-relevant functions in the machine or
system function properly. The documentation of the components used in the safety functions
can also provide information about the necessary tests.
Testing the safety-relevant functions includes, e.g. the following:
● Are all safety equipment such as protective door monitoring devices, light barriers or
emergency-off switches connected and ready for operation?
● Does the higher-level controller respond as expected to the safety-relevant feedback
signals of the converter?
● Do the converter settings match the configured safety-relevant function in the machine?

Acceptance test of the converter

The acceptance test of the converter is a part of the acceptance test of the entire machine or
plant.
The acceptance test of the converter checks whether the settings of the Basic Functions are
compatible with the configured safety functions of the machine.
Documentation
The following must be documented for the converter:
● Result of the acceptance tests
● Settings of the integrated drive safety functions
This documentation must be countersigned.
