Product Related Information

The use and application of the information contained herein require expertise in the design and programming of automated control systems.

Only you, the user, machine builder or integrator, can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during installation and setup, operation, repair and maintenance of the machine or process.

You must also consider any applicable standards and/or regulations with respect to grounding of all equipment. Verify compliance with any safety information, different electrical requirements, and normative standards that apply to your machine or process in the use of this equipment.

Many components of the equipment, including the printed circuit board, operate with mains voltage, or present transformed high currents, and/or high voltages.

The motor itself generates voltage when the motor shaft is rotated.

 DANGER
ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
  • Disconnect all power from all equipment including connected devices prior to removing any covers or doors, or installing or removing any accessories, hardware, cables, or wires.
  • Place a "Do Not Turn On" or equivalent hazard label on all power switches and lock them in the non-energized position.
  • Wait 15 minutes to allow the residual energy of the DC bus capacitors to discharge.
  • Measure the voltage on the DC bus with a properly rated voltage sensing device and verify that the voltage is less than 42.4 Vdc.
  • Do not assume that the DC bus is voltage-free when the DC bus LED is off.
  • Block the motor shaft to prevent rotation prior to performing any type of work on the drive system.
  • Do not create a short-circuit across the DC bus terminals or the DC bus capacitors.
  • Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
  • Use only the specified voltage when operating this equipment and any associated products.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

This equipment has been designed to operate outside of any hazardous location. Only install this equipment in zones known to be free of a hazardous atmosphere.

 DANGER
POTENTIAL FOR EXPLOSION
Install and use this equipment in non-hazardous locations only.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

If the power stage is disabled unintentionally, for example as a result of a power outage, errors or functions, the motor is no longer decelerated in a controlled way. Overload, errors or incorrect use may cause the holding brake to no longer operate properly and may result in premature wear.

 WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
  • Verify that movements without braking effect cannot cause injuries or equipment damage.
  • Verify the function of the holding brake at regular intervals.
  • Do not use the holding brake as a service brake.
  • Do not use the holding brake for safety-related purposes.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
 WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
  • The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel stop, power outage and restart.
  • Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
  • System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link.
  • Observe all accident prevention regulations and local safety guidelines.1
  • Each implementation of this equipment must be individually and thoroughly tested for proper operation before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
