Safety instructions
General instructions
▶ Reliable operation cannot be guaranteed if samples or
prototypes are used in series production machines.
▶ The proposed circuits do not imply any technical liability
for the system on the part of Bosch Rexroth.
▶ Incorrect connections could cause unexpected signals at
the outputs of the controller.
▶ Incorrect programming or parameter settings on the
controller may create potential hazards while the
machine is in operation. It is the responsibility of the
machine manufacturer to identify hazards of this type in
a hazard analysis and to bring them to the attention of
the end user. Rexroth assumes no liability for dangers of
this type.
▶ The component firmware/software must be installed
and removed by Bosch Rexroth or by the authorized
partner concerned in order to uphold the warranty.
▶ It is not permissible to open the controller or to modify
or repair the controller. Modification or repairs to the
wiring could result in dangerous malfunctions. Repairs
to the controller may only be performed by Bosch
Rexroth or by an authorized partner.
▶ To switch off the system in emergencies, the stop switch
(two-channel stop function) or the optional de-energize
switch may be used. The switch must be in an easily
accessible position for the operator. The system must be
designed in such a way that safe braking is ensured
when the outputs are switched off.
▶ When the electronics is not energized no pins must be
connected to a voltage source. Thus, when the current
supply is switched off, the supply for the electronics, the
power outputs and the external sensor supply have to
be switched off together.
▶ Make sure that the controller´s configuration does not
lead to safety-critical malfunctions of the complete
system in the event of failure or malfunction. This type
of system behavior may lead to danger to life and/or
cause much damage to property.
▶ System developments, installations and commissioning
of electronic systems for controlling hydraulic drives
must only be carried out by trained and experienced
specialists who are sufficiently familiar with both the
components used and the complete system.
▶ While commissioning and maintenance the controller
(with BODAS Tools) the machine may pose unforeseen
hazards. Before commissioning the system, you must
therefore ensure that the vehicle and the hydraulic
system are in a safe condition.
▶ Make sure that nobody is in the machine‘s danger zone.
▶ No defective or incorrectly functioning components may
be used. If the components should fail or demonstrate
faulty operation, repairs must be performed
immediately.
▶ Controllers used to develop software may only be
installed in series production machines if it can be
guaranteed that these controllers have not been flash-
programmed with new software more than 500 times.
Controllers that have been programmed more than 1000
times are not to be installed in series production
machines!
Notes on the installation point and position
▶ Do not install the controller close to parts that generate
considerable heat (e.g. exhaust).
▶ Radio transmitting equipment and mobile telephones
must not be used in the driver‘s cab without a suitable
antenna or near the control electronics.
▶ A sufficiently large distance to radio transmitting
systems must be maintained.
▶ All connectors must be unplugged from the electronics
during electrical welding and painting operations.
▶ Cables/wires must be sealed individually to prevent
water from entering the device.
▶ The controller must not be electrostatically charged, e.g.
during painting operations.
▶ The controller will heat up beyond normal ambient
temperature during operation. To avoid danger caused
by high temperatures, it should be protected against
contact.
▶ Install the control unit in such a way that the electrical
plug is not facing upwards. This ensures that any
condensation water that may form can flow out.
▶ Standing and permanently running water are not
permitted anywhere near the circumferential groove
(lid/base connector) or the pressure balance element
(DAE).
▶ The case must be wired to vehicle ground in order to
comply with EMC guidelines. Metallic screws are used to
create a connection to vehicle ground.
