LOSS OF CONTROL
The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths
and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and
after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel
stop.
Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the
implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link.
Each implementation of a Harmony Industrial PC must be individually and thoroughly tested
for proper operation before being placed into service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
