2 Safety information
2.1 General notes
DANGER
Observe the following to ensure the safe use of the AFS/AFM60 EtherNet/IP as
intended.
The encoder must be installed and maintained by trained, qualified personnel with
knowledge of electronics, precision engineering, and controller programming. The rele‐
vant technical safety standards must be observed.
All persons entrusted with the installation, operation, or maintenance of the devices
must follow the safety guidelines:
•
The operating instructions must always be available and must be followed.
•
Unqualified personnel must stay away from the system during installation and
maintenance.
•
The system must be installed in accordance with the applicable safety regulations
and mounting instructions.
•
The work safety regulations of the employers’ liability insurance associations and
trade associations in the respective country must be observed during installation.
•
Failure to observe the relevant work safety regulations may lead to physical injury
or cause damage to the system.
•
The current and voltage sources in the encoder are designed in accordance with
the applicable technical guidelines.
2.2 Intended use
The Absolute encoder AFS/AFM60 EtherNet/IP is a measuring device which is manu‐
factured according to the recognized industrial regulations and which meets the quality
requirements stipulated in ISO 9001:2008 as well as those relating to environmental
management systems as defined in ISO 14001:2009.
An encoder is designed for mounting and can only be operated according to its
intended function. For this reason, the encoder is not equipped with direct safety
devices.
The system designer must provide measures to ensure the safety of persons and
systems in accordance with the legal guidelines.
Due to its design, the AFS/AFM60 EtherNet/IP may only be operated within an Ether‐
Net/IP network. The EtherNet/IP specifications and the guidelines for setting up an
EtherNet/IP network must be observed.
In the event of any other usage or modification to the AFS/AFM60 EtherNet/IP (e.g.,
due to opening the housing during mounting and electrical installation) or in the event
of changes made to the SICK software, any claims against SICK AG under the warranty
will be rendered void.
2.3 Requirements for the qualification of personnel
The encoder must only be mounted, commissioned, and maintained by authorized
personnel.
NOTE
Repair work on the encoder may only be performed by qualified and authorized service
personnel from SICK AG.
The following qualifications are necessary for the various tasks:
