With increasing automation, protection of persons against hazardous
movements is becoming more important. Functional safety describes the
measures needed by means of electrical or electronic equipment to reduce
or remove danger caused by failures.
During normal operation, safety equipment prevents people accessing
hazardous areas. In certain operating modes, e.g. set-up mode, work needs
to be carried out in hazardous areas. In these situations the machine
operator must be protected by integrated drive and control measures.
Drive-based safety provides the conditions in the controls and drives to
optimise the safety functions. Planning and installation expenditure is
reduced. In comparison to the use of standard safety engineering,
drive-based safety increases machine functionality and availability.

1.1.2Drive-based safety with L-force | 9400
The controllers of the L-force|9400 range can be equipped with a safety
module. The functional range of the safety module types varies in order to
optimally implement different applications.
”Drive-based safety” stands for applied safety functions, which can be used
for the protection of persons working on machines.
The motion functions are continued to be executed by the controller. The
safety modules monitor the safe compliance with the limit values and
provide the safeinputsand outputs. When the limit values areexceededthe
safety modules start the control functions according to EN 60204-1 directly
in the controller.
The safety functions are suitable for applications according to IEC 61508
SIL 3 and meet, depending on the module, the requirements of EN 954,
part 1 up to control category 4.

Safety instructions
The safety modules SMx (E94AYAx) may only be used together with Lenze
drive controllers of the L-force | 9400 (E94A...) series.
Any other use shall be deemed inappropriate!
Installation/commissioning
ƒ Only skilled personnel are permitted to install and commission the
safety functions.
ƒ All control components must comply with the demands of the hazard
and risk analysis.
ƒ Install the controllers in control cabinets with IP54 protection.
ƒ Wiring with insulated wire end ferrules or rigid cable is vital.
ƒ For modules without integrated short-circuit monitoring:
– All safety-relevant external cables (e.g. control cables for safety
functions, feedback contacts) outside the control cabinet must be
protected, e.g. by a cable duct.
– In this connection, make sure that short circuits cannot occur!
– For further measures see ISO 13849-2.
ƒ If external forces act on the drive axes, additional brakes are necessary.
The effect of the gravitational force on hanging loads must be
especially observed!
Danger!
If the request for the safety function is cancelled, the drive will
restart automatically.
You must provide external measures which ensure that the drive
only restarts after a confirmation (EN 60204).
During operation
1.1-4
Danger!
When the “safe torque off” (STO) function is used, an
”emergency-off” according to EN 60204 is not possible without
additional measures. There is no electrical isolation, no service
switch or repair switch between motor and controller!
“Emergency-off” requires an electrical isolation, e.g. by a central
mains contactor!
After theinstallation is completed,the operator mustcheck the wiringof the
safety function.
The functional test must be repeated at regular intervals. The time intervals
to be selected depend on the application, the entire system and the
corresponding risk analysis. The inspection interval should not exceed one
year.

1.1.7Hazard and risk analysis
Incaseof ashort-circuitof twopowertransistors aresidualmovement of the
motorofupto180°/numberofpolepairsmayoccur!(Example:4-pole
motor ⇒residual movement max. 180 °/2 = 9 0 °)
This residual movement must be considered in the risk analysis, e.g. safe
torque off for main spindle drives.
This documentation can only accentuate the need for a hazard analysis. The
user of drive-based safety must concentrate on dealing with the standards
and legal position.
Before putting a machine into circulation, the manufacturer of the machine
must carry out a hazard analysis according to the Machinery Directive
89/392/EEC to find out the hazards related to the application of the
machine. To achieve a level of safety as high as possible the Machinery
Directive contains three principles:
ƒ Removing or minimising the hazards by the construction itself.
ƒ Taking the protective measures required against hazards that cannot
be removed.
ƒ Documentation of the existing residual risks and training of the user
regarding these risks.
The execution of the hazard analysis is specified in EN 1050, guidelines for
risk assessment. The result of the hazard analysis determines the category
of safety-based control modes according to EN 954-1 which the
safety-oriented parts of the machine control must comply with.
1.1.8Standards
Safety regulations are confirmed by laws and other governmental
guidelines and measures and the prevailing opinion among experts, e.g. by
technical regulations.
The regulationsandrules to be appliedmustbe observed in accordancewith
the application.
1.1.9Overview of sensors
Passive sensors
Passive sensors are two-channel switching elements with contacts. The
connecting cables and the sensor function must be monitored.
The contacts must switch simultaneously. Nevertheless, safety functions
will be activated as soon as at least one channel is switched.
The switches must be wired according to the closed-circuit principle.
Examples of passive sensors:

Overview of sensors
Active sensors
Sensor inputs
Active sensors are units with two-channel semiconductor outputs (OSSD
outputs). Drive-based safety integrated in this device series allows for test
pulses < 1 ms to monitor the outputs and cables.
P/N-switching sensors switch the positive and negative cable or signal and
earth cable of a sensor signal.
Theoutputsmust switchsimultaneously. Nevertheless,safetyfunctions will
be activated as soon as at least one channel is switched.
Examples of active sensors:
ƒ Lightgrid
ƒ Laser scanner
ƒ Control
For sensor inputs that are not used ”no sensor” m ust be parameterised. It is
monitored that no sensor signal is applied.
Connected deactivated sensors can create the false impression of safety
technology being provided. For this reason, a deactivation of sensors by
parameter setting only is not permissible and not possible.

Every module exchange is detected by the basic device and documented in
a logbook.
When the module is replaced by the same type no restrictions arise.
When the module isreplacedby a different type, the drive is inhibited bythe
controller. The inhibit can only be deactivated when the parameter setting
of the required safety module complies with the plugged safety module.
