2.1 Operator's duties
The operator must ensure that the basic safety notes are read and observed. Ensure
that persons responsible for the machinery and its operation as well as persons who
work on the device independently have read through the documentation carefully and
understood it. If you are unclear about any of the information in this documentation, or
if you require further information, contact SEW‑EURODRIVE.
As operator, make sure that the following work is carried out only by qualified person-
nel:
• Transport
• Storage
• Setup and assembly
• Installation and connection
• Startup
• Maintenance and repair
• Shutdown
• Disassembly
• Waste disposal
Make sure that persons working on the device adhere to the following regulations, in-
structions, documents, and notes:
• National and regional safety and accident prevention regulations
• Warning and safety signs on the device
• All other associated project planning documents, installation and startup instruc-
tions, wiring and circuit diagrams
• Never install damaged products or take them into operation
• All system-specific requirements and regulations
Make sure that systems where the device is installed are equipped with additional
monitoring and protection devices. Observe the applicable safety guidelines and laws
governing technical equipment and accident prevention regulations.
2.2 Bus systems
The MOVI-C
®
CONTROLLER supports various bus systems. A bus system makes it
possible to adapt frequency inverters to the particulars of the machinery within wide
limits. As with all bus systems, there is a danger of invisible, external (as far as the in-
verter is concerned) modifications to the parameters which give rise to changes in the
unit behavior. This may result in unexpected, not uncontrolled, system behavior.
2.3 Safety functions
The MOVIDRIVE
®
modular and MOVIDRIVE
®
system inverters may not perform safety
functions without higher-level safety systems. Use higher-level safety systems to en-
sure protection of equipment and personnel. For safety applications, ensure that the
information in the following publications is observed: "Safe Disconnection for
MOVIDRIVE
®
modular and MOVIDRIVE
®
system".
