2.1 Note on Safety Integrated
To actually reduce the risk for machines and plants through the use of Safety Integrated
functions, working with Safety Integrated functions requires special care for all SINAMICS
devices that have it.
DANGER
Risk minimization through Safety Integrated
Safety Integrated can be used to minimize the level of risk associated with machines and
plants.
Machines and plants can only be operated safely in conjunction with Safety Integrated,
however, if the machine manufacturer adheres to the following rules:
● The machine builder (OEM) precisely knows and observes the technical user
documentation, including the documented boundary conditions, safety information and
residual risks.
● The machine or plant is carefully set up and configured and a thorough acceptance test
must then be performed by qualified personnel and the results documented.
● All of the measures required in accordance with the machine/plant risk analysis are
implemented and validated by the programmed and configured Safety Integrated functions
or by other means.
The use of Safety Integrated does not replace the machine/plant risk assessment carried out
by the machine manufacturer as required by the EC machinery directive.
In addition to using Safety Integrated functions, further risk reduction measures must be
implemented.
