1.7 Responsibility
As a basic principle, electronic devices are not fail-safe. The operator and/or the contractor setting
up the machine or system is responsible for ensuring that the drive switches to a safe state if the
device fails.
The “Electrical equipment of machines” section in DIN EN 60204-1; VDE 0113-1:2007-06, “Safety
of machinery” describes the safety requirements for electrical control units. These are provided for
the safety of people and machines and must be observed in order to retain the functional capability
of the machine or system.
An emergency stop feature does not have to result in the voltage supply to the drive being
switched off. To avoid dangerous situations, it may be useful for individual drives to remain
operational or for specific safety procedures to be initiated.
The effectiveness of emergency stop measures is evaluated by means of a risk assessment for the
machine or system and its electrical equipment, and is determined by selecting a circuit category
according to DIN EN 13849 “Safety of machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems”.
1.8 CE marking
With the CE marking, we, as the manufacturer of the device, confirm that the drive controller meets
the basic requirements of the following guidelines:
Directive on Electromagnetic Compatibility (Directive 2004/108/EC of the Council EN 61800-
3:2004).
Low Voltage Directive (Directive 2006/95/EC of the Council EN 61800-5-1:2003).
