Introduction to the Documentation
DOK-RCON03-EFC-3600***-IT03-EN-P 1/259

2 Safety Instructions for Electric Drives and Controls
2.1 Definitions of Terms
Documentation
A documentation comprises the entire documentation used to inform the user of
the product about the use and safety-relevant features for configuring, integrat-
ing, mounting, installing, commissioning, operating, maintaining, repairing and
decommissioning the product. The following terms are also used for this kind of
documentation: Operating Instructions, Instruction Manual, Commissioning
Manual, Application Description, Assembly Instructions, Project Planning Man-
ual, Safety Notes, Product Insert, etc.
Component
A component is a combination of elements with a specified function, which are
part of a piece of equipment, device or system. Components of the electric drive
and control system are, for example, supply units, drive controllers, mains
choke, mains filter, motors, cables, etc.
Control System
A control system comprises several interconnected control components placed
on the market as a single functional unit.
Device
A device is a finished product with a defined function, intended for users and
placed on the market as an individual piece of merchandise.
Electrical Equipment
Electrical equipment encompasses all devices used to generate, convert, trans-
mit, distribute or apply electrical energy, such as electric motors, transformers,
switching devices, cables, lines, power-consuming devices, circuit board assem-
blies, plug-in units, control cabinets, etc.
Electric Drive System
An electric drive system comprises all components from mains supply to motor
shaft; this includes, for example, electric motor(s), motor encoder(s), supply
units and drive controllers, as well as auxiliary and additional components, such
as mains filter, mains choke and the corresponding lines and cables.
Installation
An installation consists of several devices or systems interconnected for a de-
fined purpose and on a defined site which, however, are not intended to be
placed on the market as a single functional unit.
Machine
A machine is the entirety of interconnected parts or units at least one of which
is movable. Thus, a machine consists of the appropriate machine drive ele-

Safety Instructions for Electric Drives and Controls EFC 3600
2/259 DOK-RCON03-EFC-3600***-IT03-EN-P

ments, as well as control and power circuits, which have been assembled for a
specific application. A machine is, for example, intended for processing, treat-
ment, 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
The manufacturer is an individual or legal entity bearing responsibility for the
design and manufacture of a product which is placed on the market in the indi-
vidual's or legal entity's name. The manufacturer can use finished products, fin-
ished parts or finished elements, or contract out work to subcontractors. How-
ever, the manufacturer must always have overall control and possess the re-
quired authority to take responsibility for the product.
Product
Examples of a product: Device, component, part, system, software, firmware,
among other things.
Qualified Persons
In terms of this application documentation, qualified persons are those persons
who are familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning and operation of
