Safety Guidelines
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and
operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes
in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and
label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.
Prescribed Usage

1.2 Safety and operating instructions
DANGER
This equipment is used in industrial high-voltage installations. During operation, this
equipment contains rotating and live, bare parts. For this reason, they could cause severe
injury or significant material damage if the required covers are removed, if they are used or
operated incorrectly, or have not been properly maintained.
When the machines are used in non-industrial areas, the installation location must be
protected against unauthorized access (protective fencing, appropriate signs).
Prerequisites
Those responsible for protecting the plant must ensure the following:
● The basic planning work for the plant and the transport, assembly, installation,
commissioning, maintenance, and repair work is carried out by qualified personnel and/or
checked by experts responsible.
● The operating manual and machine documentation are always available.
● The technical specifications regarding the applicable installation, connection,
environmental, and operating conditions are always observed.
● The plant-specific assembly and safety guidelines are observed and personal protection
equipment is used.
● Unqualified personnel are forbidden from using these machines and working near them.
This operating manual is intended for qualified personnel and only contain information and
notes relating to the intended purpose of the machines.
The operating manual and machine documentation are written in different languages as
specified in the delivery contracts.
Note
We recommend engaging the support and services of your local Siemens service center for
all planning, installation, commissioning and maintenance work.

1.3 Components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD)
CAUTION
The board contains components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge. These
components can be easily destroyed if not handled properly. If you do have to use
electronic boards, however, please observe the following:
•You should only touch electronic boards if absolutely necessary.
•When you touch boards, however, your body must be electrically discharged
beforehand.
•Boards must not come into contact with highly insulating materials (such as plastic
parts, insulated desktops, articles of clothing manufactured from man-made fibers).
•Boards must only be placed on conductive surfaces.
•Boards and components should only be stored and transported in conductive packaging
(such as metalized plastic boxes or metal containers).
•If the packaging material is not conductive, the boards must be wrapped with a
conductive packaging material (such as conductive foam rubber or household aluminum
foil).
The necessary ESD protective measures are clearly illustrated in the following diagram:
● a = conductive floor surface

Residual risks of power drive systems
When carrying out a risk assessment of the machine/plant in accordance with the EU
Machinery Directive, the machine manufacturer/plant operator must consider the following
residual risks associated with the control and drive components of a power drive system
(PDS).
1. Unintentional movements of driven machine components during commissioning,
operation, maintenance, and repairs caused by, for example:
– Hardware defects and/or software errors in the sensors, controllers, actuators, and
connection technology
– Response times of the controller and drive
– Operating and/or ambient conditions not within the scope of the specification
– Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
– Use of radio devices / cellular phones in the immediate vicinity of the controller
– External influences / damage
2. Exceptional temperatures as well as emissions of light, noise, particles, or gas caused by,
for example:
– Component malfunctions
– Software errors
– Operating and/or ambient conditions not within the scope of the specification
– External influences / damage
3. Hazardous shock voltages caused by, for example:
– Component malfunctions
– Influence of electrostatic charging
– Induction of voltages in moving motors
– Operating and/or ambient conditions not within the scope of the specification
– Condensation / conductive contamination
– External influences / damage
– Improper protective conductor connection at high leakage currents.
4. Electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields that can pose a risk to people with a
pacemaker and/or implants if they are too close.
5. Emission of pollutants if components or packaging are not disposed of properly.
An assessment of the residual risks of Power Drive System components (see points 1 to 5
above) established that these risks do not exceed the specified limit values.
For more information about residual risks of the Power Drive System components, see the
relevant chapters in the technical user documentation.
