2.1 Definitions of Terms
Application Documentation The entire documentation used to inform the user of the product about the
use and safety-relevant features for configuring, integrating, installing,
mounting, commissioning, operating, maintaining, repairing and
decommissioning the product. The following terms are also used for this kind
of documentation: User Guide, Operation Manual, Commissioning Manual,
Instruction Manual, Project Planning Manual, Application Manual, etc.
Component Combination of elements with a specified function, which are part of a piece
of equipment, device or system. Components of a drive and control system
are, for example, supply units, drive controllers, mains choke, mains filter,
motors, cables, etc.
Control System Several interconnected control components placed on the market as a single
functional unit.
Device Finished product with a defined function, intended for users and placed on
the market as an individual piece of merchandise.
Drive System A group of components consisting of electric motor(s), motor encoder(s) and
cable(s), supply units and drive controllers, as well as possible auxiliary and
additional components, such as mains filter, mains choke, etc.
Electrical Equipment Objects used to generate, convert, transmit, distribute or apply electrical
energy, such as machines, transformers, switching devices, cables, lines,
power-consuming devices, circuit board assemblies, plug-in units, control
cabinets, etc.
Installation Several devices or systems interconnected for a defined purpose and on a
defined site which, however, are not intended to be placed on the market as
a single functional unit.
Machine Entirety of interconnected parts or units at least one of which is movable.
Thus, a machine consists of the appropriate machine drive elements, as well
as control and power circuits, which have been assembled for a specific
application. A machine is, for example, intended for processing, treatment,
movement or packaging of a material. The term "machine"" also covers a
combination of machines which are arranged and controlled in such a way
that they function as a unified whole.
Manufacturer Individual or legal entity bearing responsibility for the design and manufacture
of a product which is placed on the market in the individual's or legal entity's
name. The manufacturer can use finished products, finished parts or finished
elements, or contract out work to subcontractors. However, the manufacturer
must always have overall control and possess the required authority to take
responsibility for the product.
Product Produced device, component, part, system, software, firmware, among other
things.
Project Planning Manual Part of the application documentation used to support the dimensioning and
planning of systems, machines or installations.
Qualified Persons In terms of this application documentation, qualified persons are those
persons who are familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning and
operation of the components of the drive and control system, as well as with
the hazards this implies, and who possess the qualifications their work
requires. To comply with these qualifications, it is necessary, among other
things,
