1.5 Residual risks of power drive systems

Danger as a result of unsafe operating states resulting from software manipulation
Software manipulation (e.g. by viruses, Trojan horses, malware, worms) can cause unsafe
operating states to develop in your installation which can lead to death, severe injuries
and/or material damage.
• Keep the software up to date.
• Incorporate the automation and drive components into a state-of-the-art, integrated
• Make sure that you include all installed products into the integrated industrial security
1.5 Residual risks of power drive systems
The control and drive components of a drive system are approved for industrial and
commercial use in industrial line supplies. Their use in public line supplies requires a
different configuration and/or additional measures.
These components may only be operated in closed housings or in higher-level control
cabinets with protective covers that are closed, and when all of the protective devices are
used.
These components may only be handled by qualified and trained technical personnel who
are knowledgeable and observe all of the safety instructions on the components and in the
associated technical user documentation.
When assessing the machine's risk in accordance with the respective local regulations (e.g.,
EC Machinery Directive), the machine manufacturer must take into account the following
residual risks emanating from the control and drive components of a drive system:
1. Unintentional movements of driven machine components during commissioning,
operation, maintenance, and repairs caused by, for example:
– Hardware defects and/or software errors in the sensors, controllers, actuators, and
– Response times of the controller and drive
– Operating and/or ambient conditions outside of the specification
– Condensation / conductive contamination
– Parameterization, programming, cabling, and installation errors
– Use of radio devices / cellular phones in the immediate vicinity of the controller
– External influences / damage
