WARNING

Uncontrolled movers can cause serious injuries

After removing the controller enable or switching off the supply voltage, movers can move in an uncontrolled manner on a vertical path and cause serious injuries to fingers due to crushing and to eyes due to splinters.

  • Establish a safe state of the system.
  • Make sure that all movers have come to a complete standstill.

The movers must be removed from the system for maintenance work. A rail on support [+] is available for removing the movers. Further information can be found in chapter Rail on support [+].
