322 The Safe torque off function

Start-up including acceptance test

To ensure the safe operation of a safety function, validation is required. The final assembler
of the machine must validate the function by performing an acceptance test. The acceptance
test must be performed
• at initial start-up of the safety function
• after any changes related to the safety function (circuit boards, wiring, components,
settings, etc.)
• after any maintenance work related to the safety function.
￭

Competence

The acceptance test of the safety function must be carried out by a competent person with
adequate expertise and knowledge of the safety function as well as functional safety, as
required by IEC 61508-1 clause 6. The test procedures and report must be documented
and signed by this person.
￭

Acceptance test reports

Signed acceptance test reports must be stored in the logbook of the machine. The report
shall include documentation of start-up activities and test results, references to failure reports
and resolution of failures. Any new acceptance tests performed due to changes or
maintenance shall be logged into the logbook.
￭

Acceptance test procedure

After wiring the Safe torque off function, validate its operation as follows.
Note:
If an FSO-xx safety functions module or an FPTC-0x module is installed, refer to its
documentation.
Note:
All inverter modules of the inverter unit must be powered and connected to the STO circuit
during the acceptance test.
Action
WARNING!
Follow the safety instructions. If you ignore them, injury or death, or damage to the equipment
can occur.
Ensure that the inverter can be run and stopped freely during start-up.
Stop the inverter (if running), switch the input power off and isolate the inverter from the power line
using a disconnector.
Check the STO circuit connections against the wiring diagram.
Close the disconnector and switch the power on.
