Safety information

2.8 Intended use

This drive is an installation product. It is intended solely for industrial use in devices and machines and does not have any
independent function. The drive is not intended to be passed on to end customers. The end manufacturer must ensure all of the
motor and electronics combinations are qualified for their intended application and are validated as having overload and locking
protection. The end manufacturer is responsible for the end product and must take adequate safety measures. Customer
equipment must be capable of withstanding the mechanical and thermal stresses that can arise from this drive. This applies for
the entire service life of the equipment in which this drive is installed. Any other usage above and beyond this does not conform
with the intended purpose and constitutes improper use of the drive.
Compliance with the intended use also demands:
• Observing the operating instructions.
• Operating the drive only in conjunction with the Siemens drive controllers (PDC (=Profi Drive Control) or F-TM ServoDrive)
and the cables defined for this by Siemens.
• Using the drive according to the permissible ambient temperatures and nominal data (see chapter "4 Technical data" on page
13).
• Starting up the drive only after installation in the customer equipment.
• Operating the drive with all protective devices.
• Performance of all maintenance work.

2.9 Improper use

Use of the drive in the following ways in particular is prohibited and is associated with potential hazards:
• Operation of the drive in technical systems for which there are special requirements with regard to safeguarding against
failure.
• Operation of the drive in aircraft or spacecraft.
• Operation of the drive in residential environments.
• Operation of the drive in railway vehicles, motor vehicles, and ships.
• Operation of the drive in potentially explosive atmospheres (explosion protection area).
• Operation in medical equipment with a life-sustaining or life-support function.
• Use as a safety component or to perform safety-related functions.
• Operation with protective devices that have been completely or partially disassembled or tampered with.
• Operation with extreme vibrations.
• Painting of the drive.
• Unfastening of connections (e.g. screws) during operation.
• All other applications not listed as intended uses.
