Throughout this manual, the following notes are used to alert you to safety considerations:
Important: Identifies information that is critical for successful application and understanding of the product.
!
ATTENTION: Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can lead to personal
injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.
!
ATTENTION: Only qualified electrical personnel familiar with the construction and operation of
this equipment and the hazards involved should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment.
Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety before
proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in severe bodily inury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input power has been
disconnected. After disconnecting input power, wait five (5) minutes for the DC bus capacitors to
discharge and then check the voltage with a voltmeter to ensure the DC bus capacitors are
discharged before touching any internal components. Failure to observe this precaution could
result in severe bodily inury or loss of life.
ATTENTION: The user must provide an external, hardwired emergency stop circuit outside of the
drive circuitry. This circuit must disable the system in case of improper operation. Uncontrolled
machine operation may result if this procedure is not followed. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in bodily injury.
ATTENTION: Only qualified Rockwell personnel or other trained personnel who understand the
potential hazards involved may make modifications to the variable configuration and application
tasks. Any modifications may result in uncontrolled machine operation. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage to equipment and bodily injury.
ATTENTION: Registers and bits in the UDC module that are described as “read only” or for “system
use only” must not be written to by the user. Writing to these registers and bits may result in
improper system operation. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
ATTENTION: Electronic motor overload protection must be provided for each motor in an
AutoMax™ drive application to protect the motor against excessive heat caused by high currents.
This protection can be provided by either the THERMAL OVERLOAD software block or an external
hardware device. Applications in which a single power module is controlling multiple motors cannot
use the THERMAL OVERLOAD software block and must use an external hardware device or
devices to provide this protection. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to,
or destruction of, the equipment.
