Safety assessments
Before using a unit it is necessary to
perform a safety assessment in accordance
with the Machinery Directive.
The units as individual
components guarantee functional
safety, but not the safety of the entire
application. You should therefore define
the safety requirements for the
plant as a whole, and also define how
these will be implemented from a technical
and organisational standpoint
(e.g. refer to BIA [BG Institute for Occupational
Safety] Report 6/97).
Base unit configuration
All the applications use the PNOZ
m1p. Details of how the unit is wired
are given just once, at the start of the
chapter.
