SECTION 2: SAFETY & EMC INSTRUCTIONS DS2100 User's Manual

Safeguards should be an integral part of a work cell design, installation, operator training, and operator procedures. A
computer-controlled system may activate remote devices under program control at times not anticipated by personnel. It
is critical that safeguards be in place to prevent personnel from entering the work cell whenever equipment power is
present. Moog highly recommends the use of work cell safety features such as light curtains, safety gates or safety floor
mats to prevent access to the workcell while power is present. Computer controlled systems have various
communication features which may aid the user in constructing system safeguards, including:
• emergency stop circuitry
• binary input and output lines
• spare system-controlled user lines
The emergency power-off circuitry of a computer-controlled system is generally capable of switching external power
systems, as well as detecting intrusion signals from safety barriers.
All personnel must observe sound safety practices during the operation and testing of all electrically powered
equipment. To avoid injury or damage to equipment, always remove power BEFORE attempting ANY repair or upgrade
activity.
