Safety conditions

The requirement for safe operation is that the safety subfunctions of the drive unit are properly integrated into an application-specific, higher-level safety function. A system/machine-specific risk assessment must be carried out by the system/machine manufacturer and taken into account for the use of the drive system with the drive unit.

The system/machine manufacturer and the user are responsible for the compliance of the system/machine with the applicable safety regulations.

The following requirements are mandatory when installing and operating the drive unit in safety-related applications:

  • Approved devices.
  • Installation requirements.
  • Requirements on external safety controllers and safety relays.
  • Startup requirements.
  • Operation requirements.
