Residual risks
CAUTION
The control and drive components of a power drive system (PDS) are approved for
industrial and commercial use in industrial line supplies. Their use in public line supplies
requires a different configuration and/or additional measures.
These components may only be operated in closed housings or in higher-level control
cabinets with protective covers that are closed, and when all of the protective devices are
used.
These components may only be handled by qualified and trained technical personnel who
are knowledgeable and observe all of the safety information and instructions on the
components and in the associated technical user documentation.
When carrying out a risk assessment of a machine in accordance with the EU Machinery
Directive, the machine manufacturer must consider the following residual risks associated
with the control and drive components of a PDS.
1. Unintentional movements of driven machine components during commissioning,
operation, maintenance, and repairs caused by, for example:
– Hardware defects and / or software errors in the sensors, controllers, actuators, and
connection technology
– Response times of the controller and drive
– Operating and/or ambient conditions not within the scope of the specification
– Condensation / conductive contamination
– Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
– Use of radio devices / cellular phones in the immediate vicinity of the controller
– External influences / damage
2. Exceptional temperatures as well as emissions of noise, particles, or gas caused by, for
example:
– Component malfunctions
– Software errors
– Operating and/or ambient conditions not within the scope of the specification
– External influences / damage
3. Hazardous shock voltages caused by, for example:
– Component malfunctions
– Influence of electrostatic charging
– Induction of voltages in moving motors
– Operating and/or ambient conditions not within the scope of the
specification
– Condensation / conductive contamination
– External influences / damage
4. Electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated in operation that can pose a
risk to people with a pacemaker, implants or metal replacement joints, etc. if they are
too close.
5. Release of environmental pollutants or emissions as a result of improper operation of
the system and/or failure to dispose of components safely and correctly.
