1.3 Instructions with regard to Specific Dangers
Protection against Contact with Electrical Parts
Note: This section only concerns devices and drive components with voltages of more than 50
Volt.
Contact with parts conducting voltages above 50 Volts can cause personal danger and electric
shock. When operating electrical equipment, it is unavoidable that some parts of the devices
conduct dangerous voltage.
High electrical voltage! Danger to life, electric shock and severe bodily injury!
»Only those trained and qualified to work with or on electrical equipment are permitted to
operate, maintain and repair this equipment.
»Follow general construction and safety regulations when working on electrical power
installations.

AxN Configurable Motion Control Platform

»Before switching on the device, the equipment grounding conductor must have been no
detachably connected to all electrical equipment in accordance with the connection diagram.
»Do not operate electrical equipment at any time, even for brief measurements or tests, if the
equipment grounding conductor is not permanently connected to the mounting points of the
components provided for this purpose.
»Before working with electrical parts with voltage potentials higher than 50 V, the device must
be disconnected from the mains voltage or power supply unit. Provide a safeguard to prevent
reconnection.
»With electrical drive and filter components, observe the following:
Wait 30 minutes after switching off power to allow capacitors to discharge before
beginning to work. Measure the voltage on the capacitors before beginning to work to
make sure that the equipment is safe to touch.
»Never touch the electrical connection points of a component while power is turned on.
»Install the covers and guards provided with the equipment properly before switching the
device on. Before switching the equipment on, cover and safeguard live parts safely to prevent
contact with those parts.
»A residual-current-operated circuit-breaker or r.c.d. cannot be used for electric drives! Indirect
contact must be prevented by other means, for example, by an overcurrent protective device
according to the relevant standards.
»Secure built-in devices from direct touching of electrical parts by providing an external
housing, for example a control cabinet.
With electrical drive and filter components, observe the following:
High housing voltage and large leakage current! Risk of death or bodily injury by
electric shock!
»Before switching on, the housings of all electrical equipment and motors must be connected
or grounded with the equipment grounding conductor to the grounding points. This is also
applicable before short tests.
»The equipment grounding conductor of the electrical equipment and the units must be non-
detachably and permanently connected to the power supply unit at all times. The leakage
current is greater than 3.5 mA.
»Over the total length, use copper wire of a cross section of a minimum of 10 mm2for this
equipment grounding connection!
»Before start-up, also in trial runs, always attach the equipment grounding conductor or
connect with the ground wire. Otherwise, high voltages may occur at the housing causing
electric shock.
Protection against Electric Shock by Protective Low Voltage (PELV)
All connections and terminals with voltages between 5 and 50 Volt at PMC products are
protective extra-low voltage systems which are provided with touch guard according to the
product standards.

AxN Configurable Motion Control Platform
8
High electric voltage by incorrect connection! Risk of death or bodily injury by
electric shock!
»To all connections and terminals with voltages between 0 and 50 Volt, only devices, electrical
components, and conductors may be connected which are equipped with a PELV (Protective
Extra-Low Voltage) system.
»Connect only voltages and circuits which are safely isolated from dangerous voltages. Safe
isolation is achieved for example by isolating transformers, safe optocouplers or battery
operation without mains connection.
Protection against Dangerous Movements
Dangerous movements can be caused by faulty control of connected motors. Some common
examples are:
»improper or wrong wiring of cable connections
»incorrect operation of the equipment components
»wrong input of parameters before operation
»malfunction of sensors, encoders and monitoring devices
»defective components
»software or firmware errors
Dangerous movements can occur immediately after equipment is switched on or even after an
unspecified time of trouble-free operation. The monitoring in the drive components will normally
be sufficient to avoid faulty operation in the connected drives. Regarding personal safety, especially
the danger of bodily harm and material damage, this alone cannot be relied upon to ensure
complete safety. Until the integrated monitoring functions become effective, it must be assumed
in any case that faulty drive movements will occur. The extent of faulty drive movements depends
upon the type of control and the state of operation.
Dangerous movements! Danger to life, risk of injury, severe bodily harm or
material damage!
»For the above reasons, ensure personal safety by means of qualified and tested higher-level
monitoring devices or measures integrated in the installation. They have to be provided for
by the user according to the specific conditions within the installation and a hazard and fault
analysis. The safety regulations applicable for the installation have to be taken into
consideration. Unintended machine motion or other malfunction is possible if safety devices
are disabled, bypassed or not activated.
To avoid accidents, bodily harm and/or material damage:
»Keep free and clear of the machine’s range of motion and moving parts. Possible measures to
prevent people from accidentally entering the machine’s range of motion are using safety
fences, using safety guards, using protective coverings and installing light curtains or light
barriers
»Fences and coverings must be strong enough to resist maximum possible momentum.
»Mount the emergency stop switch in the immediate reach of the operator. Verify that the

AxN Configurable Motion Control Platform
9
emergency stop works before startup. Don’t operate the device if the emergency stop is not
working.
»Isolate the drive power connection by means of an emergency stop circuit or use a safety
related starting lockout to prevent unintentional start.
»Make sure that the drives are brought to a 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 axes, adding an external braking/
arrester/ clamping mechanism or ensuring sufficient equilibration of the vertical axes
»The standard equipment motor brake or an external brake controlled directly by the drive
controller are not sufficient to guarantee personal safety!
»Disconnect electrical power to the equipment using a master switch and secure the switch
against reconnection for maintenance, repair work, cleaning of equipment and long periods
of discontinued equipment use.
»Prevent the operation of high-frequency, remote control and radio equipment near
electronics circuits and supply leads. If the use of such devices cannot be avoided, verify the
system and the installation for possible malfunctions in all possible positions of normal use
before initial startup. If necessary, perform a special electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test
on the installation.
Protection against Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields during Operation and
Mounting
Magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated by current-carrying conductors and permanent
magnets in motors represent a serious personal danger to those with heart pacemakers, metal
implants and hearing aids.
Health hazard for persons with heart pacemakers, metal implants and hearing
aids in proximity to electrical equipment!
»Persons with heart pacemakers and metal implants are not permitted to enter following
areas:
Areas in which electrical equipment and parts are mounted, being operated or
commissioned.
Areas in which parts of motors with permanent magnets are being stored, repaired or
mounted.
»If it is necessary for somebody with a pacemaker to enter such an area, a doctor must be
consulted prior to doing so. The interference immunity of present or future implanted heart
pacemakers differs greatly, so that no general rules can be given.
»Those with metal implants or metal pieces, as well as with hearing aids must consult a doctor
before they enter the areas described above. Otherwise health hazards may occur.
Protection against Contact with Hot Parts
Hot surfaces at motor housings, on drive controllers or chokes! Danger of injury!
Danger of burns!
»Do not touch surfaces of device housings and chokes in the proximity of heat sources! Danger
of burns!

AxN Configurable Motion Control Platform
10
»Do not touch housing surfaces of motors! Danger of burns!
»According to operating conditions, temperatures can be higher than 60 °C, 140 °F during or
after operation.
»Before accessing motors after having switched them off, let them cool down for a sufficiently
long time. Cooling down can require up to 140 minutes! Roughly estimated, the time required
for cooling down is five times the thermal time constant specified in the Technical Data.
»After switching drive controllers or chokes off, wait 15 minutes to allow them to cool down
before touching them.
»Wear safety gloves or do not work at hot surfaces.
»For certain applications, the manufacturer of the end product, machine or installation,
according to the respective safety regulations, has to take measures to avoid injuries caused
by burns in the end application. These measures can be, for example: warnings, guards
(shielding or barrier), and technical documentation.
Protection during Handling and Mounting
In unfavorable conditions, handling and assembling certain parts and components in an improper
way can cause injuries.
Risk of injury by improper handling! Bodily injury by bruising, shearing, cutting,
hitting!
»Observe the general construction and safety regulations on handling and assembly.
»Use suitable devices for assembly and transport.
»Avoid jamming and bruising by appropriate measures.
»Always use suitable tools. Use special tools if specified.
»Use lifting equipment and tools in the correct manner.
»If necessary, use suitable protective equipment (for example safety goggles, safety shoes,
safety gloves).
»Do not stand under hanging loads.
»Immediately clean up any spilled liquids because of the danger of skidding.
