17.1 Checklist for initial commissioning and commissioning
This checklist should be retained and kept with the machine documentation to serve as
r
eference during recurring thorough checks.
This checklist is not a substitute for initial commissioning or periodic thorough checks
by qualified safety personnel.
17.1.1 Thorough check of the requirements specified in the operating instructions for the safety system
Ambient conditions
T
able 75: Ambient conditions
Check sequence Expected result Result OK?
1. Check the ambient conditions. Compliance with the requirements
s
pecified in the operating instructions
for the safety system is confirmed.
The Flexi Soft system is in an environ‐
ment corresponding to enclosure rating
IP54 (EN 60529) (e.g., inside a control
cabinet).
Yes No
Mounting
T
able 76: Mounting requirements
Check sequence Expected result Result OK?
1. Check that the sensor system
ha
s been mounted correctly in
terms of positioning and distance
from bar code tape.
2. Check that the sensor system
and bar code tape are parallel to
one another.
3. Check the mounting conditions of
the Flexi Soft safety controller.
Compliance with the requirements
specified in the operating instructions
for the safety system is confirmed.
Yes No
Electrical installation
T
able 77: Requirements for the electrical wiring
Check sequence Expected result Result OK?
1. Check the electrical wiring,
inc
luding the length of the
cables.
2. Check that the requirements for
electrical protection and current
limit have been met.
Compliance with the requirements
specified in the operating instructions
for the safety system is confirmed.
An X-junction must be used to connect
the OLM sensors in all cases.
Yes No
Table 78: Electrical requirements for the plausibility signals from the process channel
Check sequence Expected result Result OK?
1. Check that the plausibility signals
fr
om the process controller are
electrically compatible with the
safe inputs of the Flexi Soft
safety controller (refer to the data
sheet).
The electrical data for the plausibility
signals confirms compatibility with the
electrical data for the safe inputs that
are outlined in the operating instruc‐
tions for the Flexi Soft hardware.
Yes No
