under extreme temperature fluctuations or extremely high maximum

temperatures.

● Furthermore, Drive controllers may not be used in applications which

have not been expressly authorized by Rexroth. Please carefully follow

the specifications outlined in the general Safety Instructions!

Components of the Rexroth IndraDrive system are products of

category C3 (with limited availability) according to IEC 61800‑3.

To ensure that this category (limit values) is maintained, suitable

line filters must be used in the drive system.

These components are not provided for use in a public low-volt‐

age network supplying residential areas with power. If these com‐

ponents are used in such a public network, high-frequency inter‐

ference is to be expected. This can require additional measures

of radio interference suppression.

Safety instructions for electric drives and controls

3.1 Definitions of terms

Application Documentation Application documentation comprises the entire documentation used to in‐

form the user of the product about the use and safety-relevant features for

configuring, integrating, installing, mounting, commissioning, operating, main‐

taining, repairing and decommissioning the product. The following terms are

also used for this kind of documentation: Operating Instructions, Commis‐

sioning Manual, Instruction Manual, Project Planning Manual, Application De‐

scription, etc.

Component A component is a combination of elements with a specified function, which

are part of a piece of equipment, device or system. Components of the elec‐

tric drive and control system are, for example, supply units, drive controllers,

mains choke, mains filter, motors, cables, etc.

Control system A control system comprises several interconnected control components

placed on the market as a single functional unit.

Device A device is a finished product with a defined function, intended for users and

placed on the market as an individual piece of merchandise.

Electrical equipment Electrical equipment encompasses all devices used to generate, convert,

transmit, distribute or apply electrical energy, such as electric motors, trans‐

formers, switching devices, cables, lines, power-consuming devices, circuit

board assemblies, plug-in units, control cabinets, etc.

Electric drive system An electric drive system comprises all components from mains supply to mo‐

tor shaft; this includes, for example, electric motor(s), motor encoder(s), sup‐

ply units and drive controllers, as well as auxiliary and additional compo‐

nents, such as mains filter, mains choke and the corresponding lines and ca‐

bles.

Installation An installation consists of several devices or systems interconnected for a

defined purpose and on a defined site which, however, are not intended to be

placed on the market as a single functional unit.

Machine A machine is the entirety of interconnected parts or units at least one of

which is movable. Thus, a machine consists of the appropriate machine drive

elements, as well as control and power circuits, which have been assembled

for a specific application. A machine is, for example, intended for processing,

treatment, movement or packaging of a material. The term "machine" also

covers a combination of machines which are arranged and controlled in such

a way that they function as a unified whole.

Manufacturer The manufacturer is an individual or legal entity bearing responsibility for the

design and manufacture of a product which is placed on the market in the in‐

dividual's or legal entity's name. The manufacturer can use finished products,

finished parts or finished elements, or contract out work to subcontractors.

However, the manufacturer must always have overall control and possess

the required authority to take responsibility for the product.

Product Examples of a product: Device, component, part, system, software, firmware,

among other things.

Project planning manual A project planning manual is part of the application documentation used to

support the sizing and planning of systems, machines or installations.

Qualified persons In terms of this application documentation, qualified persons are those per‐

sons who are familiar with the installation, mounting, commissioning and op‐

eration of the components of the electric drive and control system, as well as

with the hazards this implies, and who possess the qualifications their work

requires. To comply with these qualifications, it is necessary, among other

things,

● to be trained, instructed or authorized to switch electric circuits and devi‐

ces safely on and off, to ground them and to mark them.

● to be trained or instructed to maintain and use adequate safety equip‐

ment.

● to attend a course of instruction in first aid.

User A user is a person installing, commissioning or using a product which has

been placed on the market.

3.2 General information

3.2.1 Using the Safety instructions and passing them on to others

Do not attempt to install and operate the components of the electric drive and

control system without first reading all documentation provided with the prod‐

uct. Read and understand these safety instructions and all user documenta‐

tion prior to working with these components. If you do not have the user doc‐
