4 Project planning
4.1 Manufacturer of the machine
The manufacturer of the machinery must carry out a risk assessment and apply appro‐
pr
iate protective measures. Further protective measures may be required in addition to
the product.
The product must not be tampered with or changed, except for the procedures descri‐
bed in this document.
The product must only be repaired by the manufacturer of the product or by someone
authorized by the manufacturer. Improper repair can result in the product not providing
the expected protection.
4.2 Operating entity of the machine
Changes to the electrical integration of the product in the machine controller and
c
hanges to the mechanical mounting of the product necessitate a new risk assess‐
ment. The results of this risk assessment may require the entity operating the machine
to meet the obligations of a manufacturer.
After each change to the configuration, it is necessary to check whether the protective
measure provides the necessary protection. The person making the change is responsi‐
ble for ensuring that the protection measure provides the necessary protection.
The product must not be tampered with or changed, except for the procedures descri‐
bed in this document.
The product must only be repaired by the manufacturer of the product or by someone
authorized by the manufacturer. Improper repair can result in the product not providing
the expected protection.
4.3 Design
Prerequisites
•
N
o obstacles interfere with the view in the protective field of the device. Where
there are unavoidable obstacles, additional protective measures are applied.
•
If people can be present between the protective device and the hazardous point
without being detected, additional protective measures (e.g., restart interlock) are
used.
•
Reaching under, over and around, crawling beneath and stepping over the device,
as well as moving it, are prevented.
