3.3 Intended use
As defined by DIN EN 50178, SD6 drive controllers are electrical devices operating as power
electronics to control the flow of energy in high-voltage systems. They are intended solely for
the operation of synchronous servo motors, asynchronous motors, linear motors or torque
motors.
The connection of other electronic loads or operation outside applicable technical specifications
constitutes improper use.
When installing drive controllers in machines, commissioning (i.e. commencing intended
operation) may not be performed until it has been determined that the machine is in compliance
with provisions from the following EC and EU directives:
§ Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
§ Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU
§ EMC Directive 2014/30/EU
EMC-compliant installation
The SD6 drive controller and accessories must be installed and wired compliant for EMC
Modification
As the user, you may not make any physical, technical or electrical modifications to the SD6
drive controller and the accessories.
Maintenance
The SD6 drive controller and accessories are maintenance-free. For the safety module, take
appropriate measures to detect or prevent possible errors in the connection wiring.
Product life span
A drive controller with integrated safety module must be taken out of operation 20 years after
the production date. The production date of the drive controller is found on the accompanying
nameplate.
3.4 Transport and storage
Inspect the delivery for any transport damage immediately after you receive it. Notify the
transport company of any damage immediately. Do not put a damaged product into operation.
To ensure the faultless and safe operation of the products, they must be professionally
configured, installed, operated and maintained. If you have to transport or store the products,
you must protect them from mechanical impacts and vibrations as well as observe the
recommended transport and storage conditions in the technical data.
Store the products in a dry and dust-free room if you do not install them immediately.
