1.1 General safety instructions
DANGER
Danger to life due to live parts and other energy
sources
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are
touched.
•
Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified
for this job.
•
Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for shutdown and notify all those who will be
affected by the procedure.
2. Disconnect the machine from the supply.
- Switch off the machine.
- Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning
labels has elapsed.
- Check that it really is in a no-voltage condition, from
phase conductor to phase conductor and phase
conductor to protective conductor.
- Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits
are de-energized.
- Ensure that the motors cannot move.
3. Identify all other hazardous energy sources, e.g.
compressed air, hydraulic systems, water.
4. Isolate or neutralize all hazardous energy sources by
closing switches, grounding or short-circuiting or closing
valves, for example.
5. Secure the energy sources against switching on again.
6. Ensure that the machine is completely interlocked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational
readiness in the inverse sequence.
WARNING
Danger to life through a hazardous voltage when
connecting an unsuitable power supply
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are
touched in the event of a fault.
• Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra
Low Voltage) or PELV-(Protective Extra Low Voltage)
output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.
WARNING
Danger to life when live parts are touched on damaged
motors/devices
Improper handling of motors/devices can cause damage.
For damaged motors/devices, hazardous voltages can be
present at the enclosure or exposed components; if
touched, this can result in death or severe injury.
• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the
technical data during transport, storage and operation.
• Do not use any damaged motors/devices.
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to
unconnected cable shields
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive
cross-coupling due to unconnected cable shields.
• As a minimum, connect cable shields and the conductors
of power cables that are not used (e.g. brake cores) at
one end at the grounded housing potential.
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock when not grounded
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor
connection for devices with protection class I, high voltages
can be present at open, exposed parts, which when
touched, can result in death or severe injury.
• Ground the device in compliance with the applicable
regulations.

Danger to life due to electric shock when opening plug
connections in operation
When opening plug connections in operation, arcs can
result in severe injury or death.
• Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a
no-voltage state, unless it has been explicitly stated that
they can be opened in operation.
Danger to life due to fire spreading if housing is
inadequate
Fire and smoke development can cause severe personal
injury or material damage.
• Install devices without a protective housing in a metal
control cabinet (or protect the device by another
equivalent measure) in such a way that contact with fire is
prevented.
• Ensure that smoke can only escape via controlled and
monitored paths.
Danger to life through unexpected movement of
machines when using mobile wireless devices or
mobile phones
Using mobile wireless devices or mobile phones with a
transmitter power > 1 W closer than approx. 2 m to the
components may cause the devices to malfunction,
influence the functional safety of machines therefore putting
people at risk or causing material damage.
• Switch the wireless devices or mobile phones off in the
immediate vicinity of the components.
Danger to life due to the motor catching fire in the event
of insulation overload
There is higher stress on the motor insulation through a
ground fault in an IT system. If the insulation fails, it is
possible that death or severe injury can occur as a result of
smoke and fire.
• Use a monitoring device that signals an insulation fault.
• Correct the fault as quickly as possible so the motor
insulation is not overloaded.
Danger to life due to fire if overheating occurs because
of insufficient ventilation clearances
Inadequate ventilation clearances can cause overheating of
components with subsequent fire and smoke. This can
cause severe injury or even death. This can also result in
increased downtime and reduced service lives for
devices/systems.
• Ensure compliance with the specified minimum clearance
as ventilation clearance for the respective component.
The information can be found in the dimension drawings or
in the "Product specific safety instructions" at the start of the
respective section.
Danger to life when safety functions are inactive
Safety functions that are inactive or that have not been
adjusted accordingly can cause operational faults on
machines that could lead to serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product
documentation before commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to
safety on the entire system, including all safety-related
components.
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and
automation tasks are adjusted and activated through
appropriate parameterizing.
• Run a function test.
• Only put your plant into live operation once you have
guaranteed that the functions relevant to safety are
running correctly.
