Risk minimization through Safety Integrated
Safety Integrated can be used to minimize the level of risk associated with machines and
plants.
Machines and plants can only be operated safely in conjunction with Safety Integrated,
however, when the machine manufacturer:
• Precisely knows and observes this technical user documentation - including the
• Carefully constructs and configures the machine/plant. A careful and thorough
• Implements and validates all the measures required in accordance with the
The use of Safety Integrated does not replace the machine/plant risk assessment carried
out by the machine manufacturer as required by the EC machinery directive.
In addition to using Safety Integrated functions, further risk reduction measures must be
implemented.
Safety Integrated functions not active until power-up is completed
The Safety Integrated functions cannot be activated until the system has been completely
powered up. System startup is a critical operating state with increased risk. No personnel
may be present in the immediate danger zone in this phase.
The drives of vertical axes must be in torque state.
A complete forced dormant error detection cycle is required after power on (see Section
"Forced dormant error detection").
