2.7 Improper use
The drive amplifiers are not suitable for operation of motors other than EC synchronous servo
motors or motors with non-compatible feedback systems.
In addition, the following applications are excepted from intended use:
− Life-sustaining medical devices
− Applications in explosive areas
− Use in nuclear plants
− Use in airplanes
2.8 Risks
The manufacturer must strive to reduce residual risks associated with the drive amplifier as
much as possible using appropriate measures. Nonetheless, known residual risks must be
taken into account for the risk assessment of machines and systems.
2.8.1 Prohibited movements
Prohibited movements can be caused by:
− The failure or shut-down of safety monitoring
− Software fault in associated controllers or bus systems
− Error during parameterization
− Wiring fault
− Limited reaction time of the controller
− Operation outside of the specifications
− Electromagnetic interference, lightning strike
− Component failure
2.8.2 Dangerous temperatures
Dangerous temperatures on the surface of the device can be caused by:
− Faulty installation
− Incorrect installation site
− Faulty electrical protection
− Conductive pollution, condensation
