Use
Installation
Ensure that the sensor head and tape are firmly attached
over the entire service life under the actual ambient
conditions. Correct layout and measures for fault
prevention can be achieved for example by performing an
FMEA. Notify installation and service personnel
accordingly.
Startup
At initial startup the measuring system must first be moved
without the motor and the plausibility of the measuring
system checked (e.g. does the measured travel of 1 m
actually correspond to a travel of 1 m?). This requires the
entire travel distance to be covered.
In the second step the entire travel distance is covered
using the motor. There should be no anomalies in the
movement (great acceleration at a particular position or
large noise at a particular position). If the behavior is not
plausible, the position value must be presumed to be
faulty.
Operation
The Proof Test Interval can be found in the sensor user's
guide.
Decommissioning
When decommissioning the BML ensure that the safety
function remains assured.
Fault behavior
When hazardous events occur in safety applications
always contact the service department of the
manufacturer!
