Regular call-up of the brake test

In IFA report 04/2018 "Safe drive controllers with frequency inverters", the Institute for Occupational Safety recommends regularly performing a brake test after approx. 8 hours or one shift. The same applies to system structures in category 2 and 3.

Special feature for machines with access regulation

In machines where access to the hazard zone is safely prevented, e.g. via security doors with an active guard locking device, the brake test can be performed immediately before accessing the hazard zone. Access to the hazard zone may be granted only after a positive diagnostics result.
