•
After changes to the CAN bus configuration
•
After changes to the mounting, the alignment, or the electrical connection
•
After exceptional events, such as after manipulation has been detected, after
modification of the machine, or after replacing components
The thorough check ensures the following:
•
All relevant regulations are complied with and the protective device is active for all
of the machine’s operating modes. This includes the following points:
°
compliance with standards
°
correct use of the protective device
°
suitable configuration and safety function
°
correct alignment
•
The documentation accurately reflects the state/condition of the machine, includ‐
ing the protective device.
•
The verified configuration report matches the desired project planning (
ing the configuration in Safety Designer", page 69
•
The safety CANopen configuration corresponds to the desired project planning.
The thorough checks must be carried out by qualified safety personnel or specially
qualified and authorized personnel, and must be documented in a traceable manner.
Recommended thorough checks
In many cases, it makes sense to carry out the following thorough checks during
commissioning and in certain situations:
•
Test of the relevant points on the checklist,
see "Checklist for initial commissioning
•
"Visual check of the machine and the protective device", page 58
•
"Thorough check of the principal function of the protective device", page 57
•
"Thorough check of the area to be protected", page 57

Regular thorough check
Overview
The purpose of regular tests is to detect defects due to changes or external influences
(e.g. damage or manipulation) and to ensure that the protective measure provides the
necessary protection.
Important information
WARNING
Hazard due to lack of effectiveness of the protective device
Persons and parts of the body to be protected may not be recognized in case of
non-observance.
b
Carry out tests at least once a year.
b
Assign qualified safety personnel to carry out the tests or persons specifically
authorized for this purpose.
b
Document tests in a traceable manner.
Minimum requirements for the regular thorough check
The following thorough checks must be carried out at least once a year:
•
"Thorough check of the principal function of the protective device", page 57
•
Test of the detection capability (resolution),
