Fundamental safety instructions for Safety Integrated
Risk minimization through Safety Integrated
Safety Integrated can be used to minimize the level of risk associated with machines and plants.
Machines or plants, however, can only be operated safely in conjunction with Safety Integrated
if the machine manufacturer
• is familiar with and observes all aspects of this technical user documentation, including the
• carefully installs and configures the machine or plant and verifies this through an
• implements and validates all the measures required by the machine or plant risk analysis
The deployment of Safety Integrated does not replace the machine or plant risk assessment by
the machine manufacturer as stipulated by the EU Machinery Directive.
In addition to deploying Safety Integrated Functions, further risk reduction measures must be
implemented.
Unexpected movement of machines caused by inactive safety functions
Inactive or unadjusted safety functions can trigger unexpected machine movements that may
result in serious injury or death.
• Observe the information in the appropriate product documentation before commissioning.
• Carry out a safety inspection for safety-relevant functions on the entire system, including all
• Ensure that the safety functions used in your automation and drive tasks are adjusted and
• Run a function test.
• Only put your plant into live operation once you have ensured that the safety-relevant
