20.2.1 Safety Instructions
During operation there are deadly hazards, with the possibility of death, severe injury or mate-
rial damage. Do not open or touch the equipment during operation. Keep all covers and cab-
inet doors closed during operation. Touching the equipment is allowed during installation and
commissioning for properly qualified persons only.
l During operation, drives may have uncovered live components, depending on their
level of enclosure protection.
l Control and power connections may be live, even though the motor is not rotating.
l Drives may have hot surfaces during operation. Heat sink can reach temperatures
above 80°C.
Electronic equipment is basically not failure-proof. The user is responsible for ensuring that,
in the event of a failure of the drive, the drive is set to a state that is safe for both machinery
and personnel, for instance with the aid of a mechanical brake.
Drives with drives and CANopen expansion cards are remote-controlled machines. They
can start to move at any time without previous warning. Take appropriate measures to
ensure that the operating and service personnel is aware of this danger.
Implement appropriate protective measures to ensure that any unintended start-up of the
machines cannot result in dangerous situations for personnel or machinery. Software limit-
switches are not a substitute for the hardware limit-switches in the machine.
Install the drive as described in the Installation Manual. The wiring for the analog setpoint
input and the positioning interface, as shown in the wiring diagram in the Installation Manual,
is not required. Never break any of the electrical connections to the drive while it is live. This
action can result in destruction of the electronics
20.2.2 Use As Directed
Drives are components that are built into electrical plants or machines and can only be operated as integral com-
ponents of these plants or machines. The manufacturer of the machine used with a drive must generate a hazard
analysis for the machine and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements cannot cause per-
sonnel injury or property damage.
Please observe the chapters "Use as directed” and "Prohibited use" in the AKD Installation Manual.
The CANopen interface serves only for the connection of the AKD to a master via the CAN bus.
20.2.3 Prohibited Use
Other use than that described in chapter “Use as directed” is not intended and can lead to personnel injuries and
equipment damage. The drive may not be used with a machine that does not comply with appropriate national
directives or standards. The use of the drive in the following environments is also prohibited:
l potentially explosive areas
l environments with corrosive and/or electrically conductive acids, alkaline solutions, oils, vapors, dusts
l ships or offshore applications
