1.1.3 Operational reliability
A complex system of sensors and monitoring functions
ensures operational reliability:
Temperature monitoring: Final output stage in the
SFC−LACI and linear m
otor
Voltage monitoring: detection of faults in the logic power
supply and detection of undervoltage in the load voltage
supply
 I
2
t monitoring / overload protection
 Contouring error monitoring (e.g.in the event of
sluggishness or overloading of the drive)
S
oftware end position detection
 Limit switch detection
Note
Check within the framework of your EMERGENCY STOP
procedures to ascertain the measures that are necessary
for switching your machine/system into a safe stat
e in the
event of an EMERGENCY STOP.
· If an EMERGENCY STOP circuit is necessary for your
application, use additional, separate safety limit switches
(e.g.as normally closed limit switches w
ired in series).
· Use hardware limit switches or, if required, mechanical
safety limit switches and fixed stops or shock absorbers
as appropriate in order to mak
e sure that the axis always
lies within the permitted positioning range.
