Commissioning Safety
4.8.1
When commissioning or recommissioning the system, observe the following:
Secure the site in accordance with regulations, for example barriers or warning signs. Only qualified personnel can commission or
l
recommission the system.
Check the documentation of the machine control system for detailed information and specifications.
l
Make sure that no personal injury or material damage can occur during the commissioning or recommissioning, even it the plant or
l
machine moves unintentionally.
Before starting the commissioning, read all safety guidelines and precautions in the drive-specific documentation.
l
Observe applicable laws and legislation when running a system without safety or with reduced safety.
l
Be aware that the commissioning report focuses on iC7 functional safety and is not necessarily sufficient for the testing and
l
documenting of all safety functions in the system or machine.
Commissioning Test
4.8.2
The commissioning test for systems with safety functions is focused on validating the functionality of safety functions configured in the
drive system. The test objective is to verify proper configuration of the defined safety functions and to examine the response of specific
monitoring functions to the explicit inputs of values outside tolerance limits. The tests must cover all drive-specific safety functions
running in the final setup.
A commissioning test is required:
After the configuration of each machine
l
After any changes to the drive safety configuration
l
After changes to the machine (as per applicable standards and regulations)
l
After the exchange of the complete drive, or any safety-related hardware or software.
l
During and after the commissioning:
Document each individual step of the test.
l
Note the checksum of the drive safety configuration in records.
l
Do not release the system unless the system has successfully passed all individual steps of the test.
l
Restart the drive and check that the motor runs normally.
l
COMMISSIONING TEST
After installing the safety functions, perform a commissioning test.
A successful commissioning test is required after the initial installation, and after each change to the installation or application
involving functional safety.
If the commissioning test fails, safe operation cannot be guaranteed.
Commissioning Checklist
4.8.3
The system integrator/machine manufacturer must perform a commissioning test of the iC7 safety functions to verify and document the
correctness of the safety configuration. The system integrator/machine manufacturer hereby proves to have tested the effectiveness and
the completeness of the safety functions used. The commissioning tests must be performed based on the risk analysis. All applicable
standards and regulations must be adhered to.
