ctrlX SAFETY "SafeMotion"
Instructions with regard to specific dangers
To avoid accidents, personal injury and/or property damage:
● Keep free and clear of the machine’s range of motion and moving machine
parts. Prevent personnel from accidentally entering the machine’s range of
motion by using, for example:
–
Safety fences
–
Safety guards
–
Protective covering
– Light barriers
● Make sure the safety fences and protective coverings are strong enough to
resist maximum possible kinetic energy.
● Mount emergency stop switches in the immediate reach of the operator.
Before commissioning, verify that the emergency stop equipment works. Do
not operate the machine if the emergency stop switch is not working.
●
Prevent unintended start-up. Isolate the drive power connection by means of
OFF switches/OFF buttons or use a safe starting lockout.
●
Make sure that the drives are brought to safe standstill before accessing or
entering the danger zone.
●
Additionally secure vertical axes against falling or dropping after switching
off the motor power by, for example,
– mechanically securing the vertical axis,
– adding an external braking/arrester/clamping mechanism or
– ensuring sufficient counterweight for the axis.
● The standard equipment motor holding brake or an external holding brake
controlled by the drive controller is not sufficient to guarantee personal
safety!
●
De-energize the components of the electric drive and control system using
the master switch, and make sure they cannot be switched back on in the
case of:
–
Maintenance and repairs
– Cleaning work
– Long service interruptions
● Avoid operating high-frequency, remote control and radio equipment in
close proximity to components of the electric drive and control system and
their supply leads. If the use of these devices cannot be avoided, check
the machine or installation, at initial commissioning of the electric drive
and control system, for possible malfunctions when operating such high-fre-
quency, remote control and radio equipment in its possible positions of
normal use. It might possibly be necessary to perform a special electromag-
netic compatibility (EMC) test.
4.2.4 Protection against electromagnetic and magnetic fields during
operation and mounting
Electromagnetic and magnetic fields!
Health hazard for persons with active implantable medical devices (AIMD) such
as pacemakers or passive metallic implants.
● Hazards for the above-mentioned groups of persons by electromagnetic and
magnetic fields in the immediate vicinity of drive controllers and the associ-
ated current-carrying conductors.
● Access to these areas can pose an increased risk to the above-mentioned
groups of persons. They should seek advice from their attending doctor.
●
If overcome by possible effects on above-mentioned persons during opera-
tion of drive controllers and accessories, remove the exposed persons from
the vicinity of conductors and devices.
