Machinery Directive - Siemens SINAMICS S210 Operating Instructions Manual

Safety functions integrated in the drive

4.8 Machinery Directive

4.8 Machinery Directive
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 verification is facilitated by means of harmonized standards.
IEC 61800‑5‑2 Adjustable-speed electrical power drive systems Part 5-2 is relevant for the
Machinery Directive: Safety requirements - Functional safety
Within the context of IEC 61508, IEC 61800‑5‑2 considers adjustable speed electric power
drive systems (PDS), which are suitable for use in safety-related applications (PDS(SR)).
IEC 61800‑5‑2 places demands on PDS(SR) as subsystems of a safety-related system. This
therefore permits the implementation of the electrical/electronic/programmable electronic
elements of a PDS(SR) taking into account the safety-relevant performance of the safety
function(s) of a PDS.
Manufacturers and suppliers of PDS(SR) can prove to users (e.g. integrators of control
systems, developers of machines and plants etc.) the safety-relevant performance of their
equipment by implementing the specifications stipulated in standard IEC 61800‑5‑2.
