2.4.2 Safety notes for assembly and maintenance
The appropriate DIN, VDE, EN and IEC regulations as well as all national and local safety regulations
and rules for the prevention of accidents apply for the assembly and maintenance of the system. The
plant engineer or the operator is responsible for compliance with these regulations:
The servo drive controller must only be operated, maintained and/or repaired by personnel
trained and qualified for working on or with electrical devices.
Prevention of accidents, injuries and/or damages:
Additionally secure vertical a es against any kinde of dangerous movementsor
loweringfragwürdige Formulierung falling down after the motor has been switched off, e.g.
by means of:
Mechanical locking of the vertical a le,
E ternal braking, catching or clamping devices or
Sufficient balancing of the a le.
The motor holding brake supplied the whole timell das heißen?was soby default or an
e ternal motor holding brake driven by the drive controller alone is not suitable for personal
protection!
Render the electrical equipment voltage-free using the main switch and protect it from being
switched on again until the DC bus circuit is discharged, in the case of:
Maintenance and repair work
Cleaning
long machine shutdowns
Prior to carrying out maintenance work make sure that the power supply has been turned off,
locked and the DC bus circuit is discharged.
The e ternal or internal brake resistor carries dangerous DC bus voltages during operation of
the servo drive controller and up to 5 minutes thereafter. Contact may result in death or
serious personal injury.
Be careful during the assembly. During the assembly and also later during operation of the
drive, make sure to prevent drill chips, metal dust or assembly parts (screws, nuts, cable
sections) from falling into the device.
Also make sure that the e ternal power supply of the controller (24V) is switched off.
The DC bus circuit or the mains supply must always be switched off prior to switching off the
24V controller supply.
Carry out work in the machine area only, if AC and/or DC supplies are switched off. Switched
off output stages or controller enablings are no suitable means of locking. In the case of a
malfunction the drive may accidentally be put into action.
Initial operation must be carried out with idle motors, to prevent mechanical damages e.g. due
to the wrong direction of rotation.
Electronic devices are never fail-safe. It is the user’s responsibility, in the case an electrical
device fails, to make sure the system is transferred into a secure state.
The servo drive controller and in particular the brake resistor, e ternally or internally, can
assume high temperatures, which may cause serious burns.
