The setup software PDrive is intended to be used for altering or storing the operational
parameters for the servo amplifiers of the PMCtendo DD4/5, PMCprimo Drive2/3 and
PMCprotego D series. The servo amplifier that is connected is commissioned with the aid of
the software - whereby the drive can be directly controlled by the setup and service functions.
The characteristic nature of a PC means that these functions are not functionally safe
without further measures. A PC-program might be unexpectedly disturbed or stopped,
so that in the event of a malfunction any movements that have already been initiated
cannot be stopped from the PC.
The manufacturer of the machine must carry out a hazard analysis for the machine, and
is responsible for the functional, mechanical and personnel safety aspects of the
machine. This applies especially to the initiation of movements with the aid of functions
in the commissioning software.
Only personnel who have extensive knowledge in the fields of drive technology and
control technology are permitted to carry out online parameter setting of a drive that is
running.
Sets of data that are stored on data media are not safe from undesirable alteration by
third parties. So after you have loaded a set of data, you must check all the parameters
before enabling the servo amplifier.
The servo amplifiers are components that are built into electrical equipment or
machines, and can only be operated as integral components of such equipment.
The BTB/RTO contact must be wired into the safety loop of the system. The safety loop,
and the Stop and Emergency Stop functions must fulfil the requirements of EN 60204,
EN 292 and VDI 2853.
