Lifting applications

Perform the following additional steps before starting up the lifting applications:

  1. WARNING! Danger from falling hoist. Severe or fatal injuries. Observe the following information.
    • Do not use the device alone as a safety device for the lifting application.
    • Use additional monitoring systems or mechanical protection devices as a safety device.
  2. WARNING! Danger from falling hoist. Severe or fatal injuries. Do not use the "Release brake/deactivateDynaStop® with FCB01" function in lifting devices or applications with loads that may potentially fall down. Disable the function as follows:
    • Deactivate the function of DIP switch S1/2 via parameter Functions > Inputs/outputs > Basic device > DIP switch functions > Release brake/deactivate DynaStop® for FCB01 – enable > Deactivation = "1" (yes).
    • Disable the function via parameter Functions > Drive functions > FCB01 Output stage inhibit > Release brake/deactivate DynaStop® for FCB01 – enable = "0" (no).
  3. WARNING! The DynaStop® electrodynamic retarding function does not allow for a definite stop at a position. Severe or fatal injuries. Observe the following information.
    • Do not use drive units with DynaStop® in lifting applications.
    • When using DynaStop® on ascending/descending sections or vertical conveyors without freely suspended loads, comply with the basic safety and health requirements (e.g. EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC).
    • The behavior of the DynaStop® function must be taken into account for the risk assessment of the application that determines the required safety measures.
  4. In the MOVISUITE® engineering software, configure the parameters according to the lifting application requirements and its safety assessment.
    • Set the parameter Functions > Drive functions > FCB01 Output stage inhibit > Apply brake with STO = "1" (Yes).
    • Set the parameter Functions > Drive functions > FCB01 Output stage inhibit > Activate with DynaStop® according to the requirements of the application. Observe the notes in chapter "DynaStop® in conjunction with STO".
  5. Check the setting of the parameter Drive train > ASx drive train > Controller > Motor behavior > Hoist preload in the MOVISUITE® engineering software. Set the parameter in accordance with the lifting application requirements.
