3.2
General information
The functional safety complies with the relevant standards listed in the Declaration of
Conformity for safety-relevant applications.
Non-compliance with warning information
The functional safety can be disabled if you do not observe the warning information and
notes.
Comply with the valid regulations and operating instructions.
Non-observance of intended use
The functional safety can be disabled if you do not observe the information regarding
correct usage.
Comply with the information regarding correct usage.
Functional safety without conformity assessment
The geared motor is designed for installation in a machine. The operating company is
responsible for defining the safety level and its actual implementation in the machine.
Evaluate the conformity of the machine before commissioning.
Functional safety with a motor that is not intended for the purpose
It is not permitted to retrofit the DRIVE-CLiQ rotary encoder.
The DRIVE-CLiQ rotary encoder is mounted on a SIMOGEAR geared motor with the
appropriate version. The geared motor with DRIVE-CLiQ rotary encoder must be ordered in
this particular version and must not be retrofitted by the user, as this could jeopardize
functional safety.
Functional safety without safety-relevant encoder evaluation
The DRIVE-CLiQ rotary encoder is only safe in conjunction with a suitable SINAMICS S120.
Use the DRIVE-CLiQ rotary encoder together with a safety-relevant rotary encoder evaluation
unit. Observe the requirements relating to suitable, safety-relevant encoder evaluation in
the documentation.
