Note
Additional safety information and residual risks not specified in this section are included in
the relevant sections of this Function Manual.
DANGER
Safety Integrated can be used to minimize the level of risk associated with machines and
plants.
Machines and plants can only be operated safely in conjunction with Safety Integrated,
however, when the machine manufacturer
• is familiar with and observes every aspect of this technical user documentation,
including the documented general conditions, safety information, and residual risks.
• Carefully constructs and configures the machine/plant. A careful and thorough
acceptance test must then be performed by qualified personnel and the results
documented.
• Implements and validates all the measures required in accordance with the
machine/plant risk analysis by means of the programmed and configured Safety
Integrated functions or by other means.
It should be noted that Safety Integrated does not replace the machine/plant risk
assessment carried out by the machine manufacturer as required by the EG Machinery
Directive.
In addition to Safety Integrated, further risk reduction measures must be implemented.
WARNING
The Safety Integrated functions cannot be activated until the startup is completed. System
startup is a critical operating state with increased risk. No personnel may be present in the
immediate danger zone in this phase.
The drives of vertical axes must be in torque state.
A complete forced dormant error detection cycle is required after power on (see chapter
"Forced dormant error detection").
