DANGER

Sudden Movement Hazard

When you use the Safe Disable function in the safety system of a machine, do a full risk assessment for the system to make sure that all parts of the system comply with applicable safety standards.

Incorrect application of the Safe Disable function can cause serious injury or death.

DANGER

Sudden Movement Hazard

If the output circuit of the drive is damaged and the Safe Disable function turns OFF the drive output to a permanent magnet (PM) motor, the motor can rotate 180 electrical degrees. Prevent damage to equipment and injury to personnel during this condition.

Sudden motor movement can cause serious injury or death. It is possible for current to flow through the motor winding in these conditions.

DANGER

Electrical Shock Hazard

You cannot depend on the Safe Disable function to prevent electrical shock. Disconnect all power to the drive and wait for the time specified on the warning label before you remove covers. Check the drive for dangerous voltages before servicing or repair work.

If you do work on the drive when it is energized and there is no cover over the electronic circuits, it can cause serious injury or death.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

Although the Safe Disable function is in operation, gravity or other external forces in the vertical axis can move the motor.

Incorrect application of the Safe Disable function can cause serious injury or death.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

Do not use the drive output signals to control external holding brakes or dynamic brakes for functional safety. Use a system that conforms to the functional safety requirements.

Incorrect application of the Safe Disable function can cause serious injury or death. Systems that use drive output signals (including EDM) for safety are not safe because drive output signals are not safety components.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

Connect the Safe Disable inputs to the devices as specified by the safety requirements.

If you connect the Safe Disable inputs incorrectly, it can cause serious injury or death.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

To use the Safe Disable inputs, remove the jumpers between terminals H1-HC and H2-HC.

If the Safe Disable circuit does not work correctly, it can cause serious injury or death.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

When you clear the Safe Disable input, make sure that the Safe Disable Monitor output operates correctly as the specification for Safe Disable function.

If the Safe Disable circuit does not operate correctly, it can cause serious injury or death.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

Regularly examine the Safe Disable input and all other safety features.

A system that does not operate correctly can cause serious injury or death.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

Only let approved personnel who know about the drive, instruction manual, and safety standards wire, examine, and maintain the Safe Disable input.

If personnel are not approved, it can cause serious injury or death.

Warning

Sudden Movement Hazard

Only use the Safe Disable Monitor (multi-function output terminal set to the EDM function) to monitor the Safe Disable status or to find a malfunction in the Safe Disable inputs. The monitor output is not a safety output.

If you use the Safe Disable Monitor incorrectly, it can cause death or serious injury.

Note:

When you use a drive with a built in safety function, you must replace it 10 years after first use.
A maximum of 3 ms will elapse from when terminals H1 or H2 shut off until the drive switches to the “Safe Torque Off” status. Set the OFF status for terminals H1 and H2 to hold for at least 3 ms. The drive may not be able to switch to the “Safe Torque Off” status if terminals H1 and H2 are only open for less than 3 ms.
