1 Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 General information
The requirements associated with an acceptance test can be derived from the EU
Machinery Directive. IEC 22G WG 10 is currently working on a "Functional safety"
standard that includes a detailed description of the acceptance test requirements.
Accordingly, the machine manufacturer (OEM) is responsible for the following:
Perform an acceptance test for safety-related functions and machine parts,

and Issue an "Acceptance certificate" that includes the results of the test.
When the Safety Integrated function is used, the acceptance test is used to check
the correct configuring of the SI monitoring functions used in the NCK, PLC and
drive.
The test objective is to verify the correct implementation of the defined safety
functions, to check the implemented test mechanisms (forced checking procedure
measures) and to examine the response of individual monitoring functions by
explicitly violating tolerance limits. This should be performed for the safety
functions that were implemented using SPL as well as all of the axial monitoring
functions of the axes that are monitored with Safety Integrated.
The acceptance test has the objective to ensure that the safety functions are
correctly parameterized and documented. The acceptance test serves to identify
any potential configuring errors and document the correct configuring.
The measured values (e.g. distance, time) and the identified system behavior
(e.g. initiation of a specific stop) within the acceptance test are used to check the
plausibility of the configured safety functions. The determined measured values are
Copyright
typical rather than worst-case values. They represent the behavior of the machine
at the time of measurement. This means the measurements cannot be used to
derive maximum distances for over-travel.
If the machine data for SI functions is changed, a new acceptance test must be
performed for the modified SI function and recorded in the acceptance report. (For
more information, see the "Safety Integrated" function description.)
The test conditions should be documented so that an end user can understand the
test.

1 Introduction
1.2 Authorized persons
The test of each SI function must be performed by an authorized person and

recorded in the acceptance report. The report must be signed by the person who
performed the acceptance test. The acceptance report must be kept in the logbook
of the relevant machine.
An authorized person in the above sense is a person authorized by the machine
manufacturer who on account of his or her technical qualifications and knowledge
of the safety functions has the necessary skill sets to perform the acceptance test
in the correct manner.
1.3 Necessity of an acceptance test
A complete acceptance test is required for the first commissioning of the Safety
Integrated functionality on a machine. For safety-related function extensions,
transfer of the commissioned software to other series machines, hardware
changes, software upgrades or similar, it may be necessary to perform the
acceptance test with reduced scope.

2 General information about the acceptance test
2 General information about the acceptance

test
2.1 SI acceptance test
The "Acceptance test support" function in the SinuCom NC commissioning tool can
be used to simplify and standardize the running of the acceptance test.
The objective of this acceptance support is to control the creation and

administration of an acceptance report as well as prepare and perform the required
test steps using the appropriate operator actions from the user interface. The test
steps required as part of the acceptance test are not completely executed
automatically but are controlled by a skilled operator. This operator must perform
the measures associated with the test step on the system being tested. The
acceptance test support provides the following aids:
Support for documenting the active monitoring functions and monitoring

limit values by exporting the appropriate machine data.
Support for documenting the checksum values.

Standardization of the procedure when performing the test using a pre-
defined checklist.
Reduction of the test effort thanks to the system-internal preparation of test
procedures, automatic trace and evaluation techniques, and reduced effort
for the acknowledgment of any SI alarms that occur.
Copyright
2.2 Software prerequisites
The acceptance test report function is based on the interaction between the
NCK/drive and the SinuCom NC user interface. This means the use of this function
requires that these components must have a certain minimum software version.
SinuCom NC software version as of 06.04.05
NCU system software >= version 1.3 (for SINUMERIK 840D sl)
NCU system software >= version 06.04.15 (for SINUMERIK 840D)
The basic functionality of the SinuCom NC software is explained within its own
documentation.
