DANGER Safety Integrated can be used to minimize the level of risk associated with machines and plants.
Page 81
System Features 8.3 Safety instructions WARNING EN 60204-1 The Emergency Stop function must bring the machine to a standstill in accordance with stop category 0 or 1 (STO or SS1). The machine must not restart automatically after EMERGENCY STOP. When individual safety functions (Extended Functions) are deactivated, an automatic restart is permitted under certain circumstances depending on the risk analysis (except when Emergency Stop is reset).
Page 82
System Features 8.3 Safety instructions WARNING • For a 1-encoder system, encoder faults are detected using different hardware and software monitoring functions. It is not permissible to disable these monitoring functions and they must be parameterized carefully.

System Features 8.5 Residual risk Residual risk The fault analysis enables the machine manufacturer to determine the residual risk at his machine with regard to the drive unit. The following residual risks are known: WARNING Due to the intrinsic potential of hardware faults, electrical systems are subject to additional residual risk, which can be expressed by means of the PFH value.
Page 85
System Features 8.5 Residual risk WARNING Within a single-encoder system: a) a single electrical fault in the encoder b) a break of the encoder shaft (or loose encoder shaft coupling), or a loose encoder housing will cause the encoder signals to remain static (that is, they no longer follow a movement while still returning a correct level), and prevent fault detection while the drive is in stop state (for example, drive in SOS state).

Standards and specifications General Objective Manufacturers and operators of technical equipment and products are responsible in minimizing the risk from plants, machines and other technical equipment corresponding to state-of-the-art technology. Regulations and standards are essential documents that define the minimum requirements to minimize risks. By maintaining these minimum requirements, the company erecting a plant or a manufacturer of a machine or a piece of equipment can prove that they have fulfilled their obligation to exercise care and diligence.
Page 88
Standards and specifications 9.1 General In this case, it is necessary to use specially qualified technology that fulfills the requirements described in the associated Standards. The requirements to achieve functional safety are based on the following basic goals: ● Avoiding systematic faults ●...
Standards and specifications 9.2 Safety of machinery in Europe Safety of machinery in Europe 9.2.1 Safety of machinery in Europe The EU Directives that apply to the implementation of products are based on Article 95 of the EU contract, which regulates the free exchange of goods.

Standards and specifications 9.2 Safety of machinery in Europe Type A standards/basic standards A standards include basic terminology and definitions relating to all types of machine. This includes EN ISO 12100-1 (previously EN 292-1) "Safety of Machines, Basic Terminology, General Design Principles." A standards are aimed primarily at the bodies responsible for setting the B and C standards.
Standards and specifications 9.3 Machine safety in the USA Machine safety in the USA 9.3.1 Machine safety in the USA A key difference between the USA and Europe in the legal requirements regarding safety at work is that, in the USA, no legislation exists regarding machinery safety that is applicable in all of the states and that defines the responsibility of the manufacturer/supplier.
Standards and specifications 9.3 Machine safety in the USA 9.3.3 NRTL listing To protect employees, all electrical equipment used in the USA must be certified for the planned application by a "Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory" (NRTL) certified by the OSHA. NRTLs are authorized to certify equipment and material by means of listing, labeling, or similar.
Standards and specifications 9.3 Machine safety in the USA 9.3.5 ANSI B11 ANSI B11 standards are joint standards developed by associations such as the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the Robotic Industries Association (RIA). The hazards of a machine are evaluated by means of a risk analysis/assessment. The risk analysis is an important requirement in accordance with NFPA 79, ANSI/RIA 15.06, ANSI B11.TR-3 and SEMI S10 (semiconductors).
Standards and specifications 9.4 Machine safety in Japan Machine safety in Japan 9.4.1 Machine safety in Japan The situation in Japan is different from that in Europe and the US. Legislation such as that prescribed in Europe does not exist. Similarly, product liability does not play such an important role as it does in the US.
Standards and specifications 9.5 Equipment regulations Equipment regulations 9.5.1 Equipment regulations In addition to the requirements of the guidelines and standards, company-specific requirements must be taken into account. Large corporations in particular (e.g. automobile manufacturers) make stringent demands regarding automation components, which are often listed in their own equipment specifications.
Standards and specifications 9.6 Other safety-related issues Other safety-related issues 9.6.1 Information sheets issued by the Employer's Liability Insurance Association Safety-related measures to be implemented cannot always be derived from directives, standards, or regulations. In this case, supplementary information and explanations are required.
