AKD CANopen | 3 Safety
3.1 Safety Instructions
During operation there are deadly hazards, with the possibility of death,
severe injury or material damage. Do not open or touch the equipment during
operation. Keep all covers and cabinet doors closed during operation. Touch-
ing the equipment is allowed during installation and commissioning for prop-
erly 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 tem-
peratures 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
3.2 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 risk
assessment for the machine and take appropriate measures to ensure that unforeseen movements cannot cause
personnel 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.
3.3 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
