Safety instructions
2 Safety instructions
Please observe the following safety instructions when you want to commission a controller
or system using the »Global Drive Control«.
F
Please read the documentation supplied with the controller / system components
carefully before you start commissioning the devices with the
»Global Drive Control«!
The device documentation contains safety instructions which must be observed!
Danger!
According to our present level of knowledge it is not possible to ensure the
absolute freedom from errors of a software.
If necessary, systems with built-in controllers must be provided with additional
monitoring and protective equipment according to relevant safety regulations
(e.g. law on technical equipment, regulations for the prevention of accidents), so
that an impermissible operating status does not endanger persons or facilities.
During commissioning persons must keep a safe distance from the motor or the
machine parts driven by the motor. Otherwise there would be a risk of injury by
the moving machine parts.
Stop!
If you change parameters in the »Global Drive Control« while a device is
connected online, the changes will be directly accepted by the device!
A wrong parameter setting can cause unpredictable motor movements. By
unintentional direction of rotation, too high speed or jerky operation, the driven
machine parts may be damaged!
