Precautions for Axis Operation with Wireless Connection
This system allows the electric actuators of IAI to operate while connected wirelessly. For operation with wireless connection, secure safety by following the precautions below before use.
- When connected wirelessly, be sure to provide a device or circuit for emergency stopping.
- For axis operation with wireless connection, operation testing (position move, jog operation, inching operation, brake forcible release) is possible, but the control device is not designed for purposes of automatic operation. Construct a mechanical system based on the risks of the operating environment.
- Carry out risk assessment based on the standard/spec requirements of the machinery for installation. Dangerous operation, such as that requiring an automatic stop when control signals cannot be received (including disabled communication) is not acceptable.
- Stopping axis operation by wireless network cannot be used as a safety feature as defined in EN ISO 13849-1: 2023.
It is also not compliant with Safety Category B or Categories 1 to 4 stated in EN ISO 13849-1: 2023.
