Product Related Information

Before you attempt to provide a solution (machine or process) for a specific application, you must consider, conduct and complete best practices. These practices include, but are not limited to, risk analysis, functional safety, component compatibility, testing and system validation.

WARNING
	IMPROPER USE OF PARAMETERS Perform a safety-related analysis for the application and the devices installed. Use appropriate parameters, especially limit values, and observe machine wear and stop behavior. Access parameters in the appropriate Sercos phase. Observe the Sercos information in the description of the respective parameters. Thoroughly test all functions during verification and commissioning in all operation modes. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
