Safety Instructions - Siemens SIMOTICS Series Compact Operating Instructions

Safety instructions

Siemens AG assumes responsibility for ensuring that the directives of functional safety have
been observed for the motor with the encoder. The safety-relevant screw connections are
sealed with marking paint before delivery. This will then indicate any inadvertent or
unauthorized release of the screw connection.
No functional safety for incorrect use
If the information regarding correct use is not observed, the functional safety may be rendered
ineffective.
● Carefully comply with the information provided regarding correct use.
● Changes made by users to the motor and/or the encoder negatively impact operational
reliability and are not permitted.
● The motor is intended for installation in a machine. The company operating the machine is
responsible for ensuring functional safety. The company operating the machine is
responsible for the necessary safety functions and their attributes.
No functional safety for non-observance of the warning and safety instructions
If the warning and safety instructions are not observed, the functional safety may be rendered
ineffective. The safety functions of the system are no longer ensured. This can result in death,
serious injury or material damage.
● Please comply with valid regulations and operating instructions.
No functional safety without safety-relevant encoder evaluation
If the safety-relevant encoder evaluation is not implemented, the safety functions of the system
are no longer ensured. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage. The encoder
is only safety-relevant when used in conjunction with a suitable encoder evaluation unit.
● Use the encoder together with a safety-relevant encoder evaluation unit.
● Observe the operating instructions for the encoder.
No functional safety without conformity assessment
The motor is intended for installation in a machine. The operating company is responsible for
defining the safety level and its actual implementation in the machine.
● Evaluate the conformity of the machine before commissioning.
