Danger to life due to live parts and other energy sources
WARNING
Danger to life through a hazardous voltage when connecting an unsuitable power supply
Death or serious injury can result when live parts are touched.
• Only work on electrical devices when you are qualified for this job.
• Always observe the country-specific safety rules.
Generally, six steps apply when establishing safety:
1. Prepare for shutdown and notify all those who will be affected by the procedure.
2. Disconnect the machine from the supply.
– Switch off the machine.
– Wait until the discharge time specified on the warning labels has elapsed.
– Check that it really is in a no-voltage condition, from phase conductor to phase
conductor and phase conductor to protective conductor.
– Check whether the existing auxiliary supply circuits are de-energized.
– Ensure that the motors cannot move.
3. Identify all other dangerous energy sources, e.g. compressed air, hydraulic systems, or
water.
4. Isolate or neutralize all hazardous energy sources by closing switches, grounding or
short-circuiting or closing valves, for example.
5. Secure the energy sources against switching on again.
6. Ensure that the correct machine is completely interlocked.
After you have completed the work, restore the operational readiness in the inverse
sequence.
Touching live components can result in death or severe injury.
• Only use power supplies that provide SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV-
(Protective Extra Low Voltage) output voltages for all connections and terminals of the
electronics modules.
Danger to life when live parts are touched on damaged motors/devices
WARNING
Danger to life through electric shock due to unconnected cable shields
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock when not grounded
WARNING
Danger to life due to electric shock when opening plug connections in operation
1.1 General safety instructions
Improper handling of motors/devices can damage them.
For damaged motors/devices, hazardous voltages can be present at the enclosure or at
exposed components.
• Ensure compliance with the limit values specified in the technical data during transport,
storage and operation.
• Do not use any damaged motors/devices.
Hazardous touch voltages can occur through capacitive cross-coupling due to unconnected
cable shields.
• As a minimum, connect cable shields and the conductors of power cables that are not
used (e.g. brake cores) at one end at the grounded housing potential.
For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with
protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when
touched, can result in death or severe injury.
• Ground the device in compliance with the applicable regulations.
When opening plug connections in operation, arcs can result in severe injury or death.
• Only open plug connections when the equipment is in a no-voltage state, unless it has
been explicitly stated that they can be opened in operation.
Danger to life through unexpected movement of machines when using mobile wireless
devices or mobile phones
WARNING
Danger of an accident occurring due to missing or illegible warning labels
1.1 General safety instructions
Insufficient tightening torques or vibrations can result in loose electrical connections. This
can result in damage due to fire, device defects or malfunctions.
• Tighten all power connections with the specified tightening torques, e.g. line supply
connection, motor connection, DC link connections.
• Check all power connections at regular intervals. This applies in particular after
transport.
Using mobile wireless devices or mobile phones with a transmit power > 1 W closer than
approx. 2 m to the components may cause the devices to malfunction, influence the
functional safety of machines therefore putting people at risk or causing material damage.
• Switch the wireless devices or mobile phones off in the immediate vicinity of the
components.
Missing or illegible warning labels can result in accidents involving death or serious injury.
• Check that the warning labels are complete based on the documentation.
• Attach any missing warning labels to the components, in the national language if
Note
Important safety notices for Safety Integrated functions
If you want to use Safety Integrated functions, you must observe the safety notices in the
Safety Integrated manuals.
WARNING
Danger to life from electromagnetic fields
1.1 General safety instructions
Safety functions that are inactive or that have not been adjusted accordingly can cause
operational faults on machines that could lead to serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before
commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for functions relevant to safety on the entire system,
including all safety-related components.
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your drives and automation tasks are adjusted
and activated through appropriate parameterizing.
• Perform a function test.
• Only put your plant into live operation once you have guaranteed that the functions
relevant to safety are running correctly.
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are generated by the operation of electrical power equipment,
such as transformers, converters, or motors.
People with pacemakers or implants are at particular risk in the immediate vicinity of this
equipment.
• If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, maintain the minimum distance specified in
chapter "Correct usage" from such motors.
Risk of injury caused by moving parts or parts that are flung out
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire if overheating occurs because of insufficient cooling
WARNING
Danger to life due to fire as a result of overheating caused by incorrect operation
1.1 General safety instructions
Even when switched off, electric motors with permanent magnets represent a potential risk
for persons with heart pacemakers or implants if they are close to converters/motors.
• If you have a heart pacemaker or implant, maintain the minimum distance specified in
chapter "Correct usage".
• When transporting or storing permanent-magnet motors always use the original packing
materials with the warning labels attached.
• Clearly mark the storage locations with the appropriate warning labels.
• IATA regulations must be observed when transported by air.
Touching moving motor parts or drive output elements and loose motor parts that are flung
out (e.g. feather keys) in operation can result in severe injury or death.
• Remove any loose parts or secure them so that they cannot be flung out.
• Do not touch any moving parts.
• Safeguard all moving parts using the appropriate safety guards.
Inadequate cooling can cause overheating resulting in death or severe injury as a result of
smoke and fire. This can also result in increased failures and reduced service lives of
motors.
• Comply with the specified coolant requirements for the motor.
When incorrectly operated and in the case of a fault, the motor can overheat resulting in fire
and smoke. This can result in severe injury or death. Further, excessively high
temperatures destroy motor components and result in increased failures as well as shorter
service lives of motors.
• Operate the motor according to the relevant specifications.
• Only operate the motors in conjunction with effective temperature monitoring.
• Immediately switch off the motor if excessively high temperatures occur.
In operation, the motor can reach high temperatures, which can cause burns if touched.
• Mount the motor so that it is not accessible in operation.
Measures when maintenance is required:
• Allow the motor to cool down before starting any work.
• Use the appropriate personnel protection equipment, e.g. gloves.
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are individual components, integrated circuits, modules
or devices that may be damaged by either electric fields or electrostatic discharge.
Electric fields or electrostatic discharge can cause malfunctions through damaged
individual components, integrated circuits, modules or devices.
• Only pack, store, transport and send electronic components, modules or devices in their
original packaging or in other suitable materials, e.g conductive foam rubber of
aluminum foil.
• Only touch components, modules and devices when you are grounded by one of the
following methods:
– Wearing an ESD wrist strap
– Wearing ESD shoes or ESD grounding straps in ESD areas with conductive flooring
• Only place electronic components, modules or devices on conductive surfaces (table
with ESD surface, conductive ESD foam, ESD packaging, ESD transport container).

When assessing the machine- or system-related risk in accordance with the respective local
regulations (e.g., EC Machinery Directive), the machine manufacturer or system installer
must take into account the following residual risks emanating from the control and drive
components of a drive system:
1. Unintentional movements of driven machine or system components during
commissioning, operation, maintenance, and repairs caused by, for example,
– Hardware and/or software errors in the sensors, control system, actuators, and cables
and connections
– Response times of the control system and of the drive
– Operation and/or environmental conditions outside the specification
– Condensation/conductive contamination
– Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
– Use of wireless devices/mobile phones in the immediate vicinity of electronic
components
– External influences/damage
– X-ray, ionizing radiation and cosmic radiation
2. Unusually high temperatures, including open flames, as well as emissions of light, noise,
particles, gases, etc., can occur inside and outside the components under fault conditions
caused by, for example:
– Component failure
– Software errors
– Operation and/or environmental conditions outside the specification
– External influences/damage
3. Hazardous shock voltages caused by, for example:
– Component failure
– Influence during electrostatic charging
– Induction of voltages in moving motors
– Operation and/or environmental conditions outside the specification
– Condensation/conductive contamination
– External influences/damage
4. Electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields generated in operation that can pose a
risk to people with a pacemaker, implants or metal replacement joints, etc., if they are too
close
5. Release of environmental pollutants or emissions as a result of improper operation of the
system and/or failure to dispose of components safely and correctly
6. Influence of network-connected communication systems, e.g. ripple-control transmitters
or data communication via the network
Segment motors are permanent magnet, modular synchronous motors. Segment motors are
supplied as components (stator segments and rotor segments) and installed directly in the
machine. A cooler integrated in the stator segment results in an essentially thermally neutral
behavior of the segment motor with respect to the machine itself.
The magnitude of torque that a segment motor can generate depends on the diameter, the
active length and the number of stator segments. Depending on the number of stator
segments and rotor segments, traversing motion in the form of an arc or a complete circle
can be created.
The motors are designed for the SINAMICS S120 drive system.
You can use Motor Modules in the "booksize" or "chassis" format.
The accuracy of a direct drive with segment motor is governed by the:
● Mechanical design of the machine
● Control technology used
● Resolution and measuring accuracy of the encoder
The potential machining accuracy of a drive system with segment motor is influenced by the:
● Mechanical rigidity and noise immunity of the drive system
● Running smoothness
The running smoothness in the axial and radial direction depends on the bearing version and
its accuracy. The requirements here can be fulfilled by means of a suitable axis design.
The control quality of a direct drive with segment motor is governed by the following factors:
● Stiffness of the drive system (dynamic quality of the machine design, bearing, encoder
mounting and the motor integration)
● The precision when mounting and adjusting the encoder system
● Quantification of the angular signal and speed signal (the number of encoder lines and
their multiplication in the encoder evaluation of the converter for each axis rotation and
the measuring accuracy of the encoder are crucial here).
● Sampling time of the current, speed, and position controller.
In addition to selecting a suitable motor, encoder and controller, the precision and control
quality of the machine axis is essentially determined by the integration into the overall
mechanical system. As a consequence, a general recommendation for integrating the motor
cannot be given for all axis concepts.
To ensure that the motor and the encoder are optimally integrated into the mechanical
structure, Siemens offers its Mechatronic Support service, see Catalog. For additional
information, please contact your Siemens contact person, also refer to the Internet link in the
Introduction under "Technical Support".
Segment motors
● have a redundant design so that if individual status segments fail the complete motor
does not fail
● are powerful motors available in a wide range of types
● set themselves apart as a result of a high continuous torque
● have a modular design, and can therefore be configured to address customer specific
requirements
● have a low force ripple, and are therefore suitable for high precision applications
● have a simple coolant connection
● are water cooled, and therefore have a high continuous torque
● have low rotor losses and are therefore suitable for high peripheral velocities
Risk of death and material damage as a result of incorrect use
WARNING
Danger to life for wearers of active implants due to magnetic and electrical fields
2.2 Use for the intended purpose
There is a risk of death, serious injury and/or material damage when direct drives or their
components are used for a purpose for which they were not intended.
• Only use the motors for industrial or commercial plants and systems.
• If, in an exceptional case, the motors are not used in industrial or commercial plants and
