1.1 General safety instructions
DANGER
Danger to life when live parts are touched
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are
touched.
•
Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified
for this job.
•
Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for shutdown and notify all those who will be
affected by the procedure.
2. Disconnect the machine from the supply.
- Switch off the machine.
- Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning
labels has elapsed.
- Check that it really is in a no-voltage condition, from
phase conductor to phase conductor and phase
conductor to protective conductor.
- Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits
are de-energized.
- Ensure that the motors cannot move.
3. Identify all other hazardous energy sources, e.g.
compressed air, hydraulic systems, water.
4. Isolate or neutralize all hazardous energy sources, e.g.
by closing switches, grounding or short-circuiting or
closing valves.
5. Secure the energy sources against switching on again.
6. Make sure that the machine is completely locked ... and
that you have the right machine. After you have
completed the work, restore the operational readiness in
the inverse sequence.
WARNING
Danger to life through a hazardous voltage when
connecting an unsuitable power supply
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are
touched in the event of a fault.
• Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra
Low Voltage) or PELV-(Protective Extra Low Voltage)
output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.
WARNING
Danger to life when live parts are touched on damaged
devices
Improper handling of devices can cause damage.
Hazardous voltages can be present at the housing or
exposed components on damaged devices.
• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the
technical data during transport, storage and operation.
• Do not use any damaged devices.
• Protect the components against conductive pollution, e.g.,
by installing them in a control cabinet with IP54 degree of
protection according to IEC 60529 or NEMA 12. Provided
conductive pollution can be prevented at the installation
site, the degree of protection for the cabinet can be
decreased accordingly.
WARNING
Danger of fire spreading due to inadequate housing
Fire and smoke development can cause severe personal
injury or material damage.
• Install devices without a protective housing in a metal
control cabinet (or protect the device by another
equivalent measure) in such a way that contact with fire
inside and outside the device is prevented.
• Additionally, select the installation site so that an
uncontrolled spreading of smoke can be avoided in the
case of a fire.
• Ensure that smoke can escape via designated paths.

Danger to life through unexpected movement of
machines when using mobile wireless devices or
mobile phones
Using mobile wireless devices or mobile phones with a
transmitter power > 1 W closer than approx. 2 m to the
components may cause the devices to malfunction and
influence the functional safety of machines, therefore putting
people at risk or causing material damage.
• Switch the wireless devices or mobile phones off in the
immediate vicinity of the components.
Fire hazard for the motor due to overload of the
insulation
There is a greater load on the motor insulation through a
ground fault in an IT system. A possible result is the failure
of the insulation with a risk for personnel through smoke
development and fire.
• Use a monitoring device that signals an insulation fault.
• Correct the fault as quickly as possible so the motor
insulation is not overloaded.
Fire hazard due to overheating because of inadequate
ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating
with a risk for personnel through smoke development and
fire. This can also result in increased downtime and reduced
service lives for devices / systems.
• Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance
as ventilation clearance for the respective component.
They can be found in the dimension drawings or in the
"Product specific safety instructions" at the start of the
respective section.
Danger to life through electric shock due to
unconnected cable shields
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive
cross-coupling due to unconnected cable shields.
• Connect cable shields and unused conductors of power
cables (e.g., brake conductors) at least on one side to the
grounded housing potential.
Danger to life when safety functions are inactive
Safety functions that are inactive or that have not been adjusted
accordingly can cause operational faults on machines that could
lead to serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product
documentation before commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety
on the entire system, including all safety-related components.
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and
automation tasks are adjusted and activated through
appropriate parameterizing.
• Run a function test.
•
Only put your plant into live operation once you have
guaranteed that the functions relevant to safety are running
correctly.
NOTE
Important safety notices for safety functions
If you want to use safety functions, you must observe the
safety notices in the safety manuals.
1.2 Safety instructions for electromagnetic fields (EMF)
Danger to life from electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the
operation of electrical power equipment such as
transformers, converters or motors.
