2.1 Safety Instructions
During operation there are deadly hazards, with the possibility of death, severe injury or
material damage. Do not open or touch the equipment during operation. Keep all covers and
cabinet doors closed during operation. Touching the equipment is allowed during installation
and commissioning for properly qualified persons only.
lDuring operation, drives may have uncovered live components, depending on their
level of enclosure protection.
lControl and power connections may be live, even though the motor is not rotating.
lDrives may have hot surfaces during operation. Heat sink can reach temperatures
above 80°C.
Electronic equipment can fail. The user is responsible for ensuring that, in the event of a fail-
ure of the servo amplifier, the drive is set to a state that is safe for both machinery and per-
sonnel, for instance with the aid of a mechanical brake.
Drives with servo amplifiers and PROFINET are remote-controlled machines. They can
start to move at any time without previous warning. Take appropriate measures to ensure
that the operating and service personnel is aware of this danger.
Implement appropriate protective measures to ensure that any unintended start-up of the
machines cannot result in dangerous situations for personnel or machinery. Software limit-
switches are not a substitute for the hardware limit-switches in the machine.
Install the drive as described in the Installation Manual. Never break any of the electrical
connections to the drive while it is live. This can result in destruction of the electronics
The PROFINET Ethernet cable must be connected to the service interface on X11.
2.2 Use as directed
Drives are components that are built into electrical plants or machines and can only be operated as integral com-
ponents of these plants or machines. The manufacturer of the machine used with a drive must generate a risk
assessment for the machine and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements cannot cause
personnel injury or property damage.
lObserve the chapters "Use as directed” and "Prohibited use" in the AKD Installation Manual.
lThe PROFINET interface serves only for the connection of the AKD directly or via a switch to a network
with PROFINET connectivity.
2.3 Prohibited use
Other use than that described in chapter “Use as directed” is not intended and can lead to personnel injuries and
equipment damage. The drive may not be used with a machine that does not comply with appropriate national
directives or standards. The use of the drive in the following environments is also prohibited:
lpotentially explosive areas
lenvironments with corrosive and/or electrically conductive acids, alkaline solutions, oils, vapors, dusts
lships or offshore applications
