Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions
Inactive or non-adapted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements that
may result in serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before
commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system,
including all safety-related components.
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted
and activated through appropriate parameterizing.
• Perform a function test.
• Only put your plant into productive operation once you have absolutely guaranteed that
the functions relevant to safety are operating correctly.
Handling electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDs) are individual components, integrated circuits,
modules or devices that may be damaged by either electrostatic fields or electrostatic
discharge.
Damage caused by electric fields or electrostatic discharge
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can result in malfunctions as a result of damaged
individual parts, integrated circuits, modules or devices.
• Only pack, store, transport and send electronic components, modules or devices in their
original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g conductive foam rubber of
aluminum foil.
• Only touch components, modules and devices if you are first grounded by applying one
of the following measures:
– Wearing an ESD wrist strap
– Wearing ESD shoes or ESD grounding straps in ESD areas with conductive flooring
• Only place electronic components, modules or devices on conductive surfaces (table
with ESD surface, conductive ESD foam, ESD packaging, ESD transport container).
