Understanding Safety
Precautions
The following precautions apply to resistive brake module (RBM)
installations as shown in the interconnect diagrams. Be sure to read
and thoroughly understand them before proceeding.
Safety Standards for Reference
• EN 1050 Safety of Machinery - Principles for Risk Assessment
• EN 60204-1 Safety of Machinery - Electrical Equipment of
Machines
• EN 292-1/2 Safety of Machinery - Basic Concepts, General
Principles for Design
• EN 954-1 Safety of Machinery - Safety Related Parts of Control

ATTENTION
The interconnection diagrams should be used as a general
recommendation on how the safety control circuit may be
implemented. Actual applications may vary due to requirements
based on the machine builders risk assessment. The machine
builder must perform a risk assessment and determine a
category level of safety that must be applied to the machine.
