Safety Concept and Troubleshooting
This chapter introduces you to how the safe torque-off feature meets the
requirements of Performance Level e (PLe) and safety category 3 (CAT 3) per
EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL 3 per IEC 61508, EN 61800-5-2 and EN 62061.
This chapter also provides a troubleshooting table and flowchart for
understanding the Safe Torque-off mode.
Certification
The TÜV Rheinland group has approved the Kinetix 6000 and Kinetix 7000
servo drives for use in safety-related applications up to EN ISO 13849-1
Performance Level e (PLe) and category 3, SIL 3 per IEC 61508, EN 61800-5-2
and EN 62061, in which removing the motion-producing power is considered to
be the safe state.
To view the certificate, refer to EC Type - Examination Certificate
