11 Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility
Safe work practices need to be observed in building the hardware connections, mounting the units to the
machinery, and programming the controllers.
11.1 Safety in building the hardware connections
Safety shoul
d be at the forefront of the development team’s thoughts. Many times during development,
technicians and engineers will fabricate test fixtures, care must be taken not to short circuit power supplies and
output devices. Please adhere to all federal, state, and local laws regarding safety.
11.2 Safety in mounting the DVC units
Mounting
the DVC units on mobile applications have their own safety guidelines. Care must be taken to locate
a safe place on the machine free from excessive heat, and moving parts that may sever the controller’s wiring
harness or physically harm the controllers. Please adhere to all federal, state, and local laws regarding safety.
11.3 Safety in programming the controllers
Safety to person
nel and machinery must be observed when programming moveable functions. Test program
changes to minimize safety hazards. If possible don’t test a machine at full function, only test program
modification area in a controlled environment. Make sure to let other personnel in the area know that a change
is being tested and possible negative outcomes. Please adhere to all federal, state, and local laws regarding
