WARNING

Risk of injury due to residual voltage

Although a distributed servo drive is no longer rotating, voltage on the control and power connections or a residual voltage in the capacitors of the coupling modules can lead to serious injuries.

  • Remove all supply network fuses
  • Turn off the main switch at the control cabinet
  • Secure the control cabinet against being switched on again

Notice

Damage due to improper installation

Inadequate ventilation and incorrect installation can lead to damage to the coupling module and its components due to heat development.

  • Mount the coupling modules vertically and with sufficient ventilation
  • Observe the permissible Data for operation and environment as well as the notes in this chapter

Note that when dimensioning you may have to mount input filters, mains chokes, and braking resistors for your application. Appropriate space should be provided for these components, so that adequate ventilation is ensured.

The following figure shows recommended dimensions that you should observe when installing the coupling module on the machine or plant:
