50 Start-up and validation test
The validation test must include at least the following steps:
•
you must have a validation test plan
•
you must test all commissioned functions for correct operation, from each operation
location
•
you must document all validation tests
•
you must sign and store the validation test report for further reference.
Validation test reports
■
You must store the signed validation test reports in the logbook of the machine. The report
must include, as required by the referred standards:
•
a description of the safety application (including a figure)
•
a description and revisions of safety components that are used in the safety application
•
a list of all safety functions that are used in the safety application
•
a list of all safety-related parameters and their values
•
documentation of start-up activities, references to failure reports and resolution of
failures
•
the test results for each safety function, checksums, date of the tests, and confirmation
by the test personnel.
You must store any new validation test reports done due to changes or maintenance in the
logbook of the machine.
Start-up and validation test
You must use the Drive Composer pro PC tool to do the start-up and validation test. Do this
test for each inverter unit that uses the Safely-limited speed (SLS) function, the Safe
maximum speed (SMS) function (version 1), or the Safe speed monitoring (SSM) function.
Do the test in both operation directions of the motor for the SLS and SSM functions. Do the
same for the SMS function, if both operation directions are used and the SMS function must
operate in both directions.
If you use SMS function, version 2: Do the validation test as given in the FSO module user's
manual.
Note: The SLS validation test procedure described in this chapter does not test the trip
limits, because the SLS function limits the motor reference speed to the SLS limit. ABB has
validated the functionality of trip limits in the verification tests.
