5.1.2 Energy Control and Power Lockout (ECPL)
Follow the instructions for proper lockout procedures
Instructions for Power Isolation and Discharge must be followed
Severe injury or Death can result if lockout procedures are not followed

ECPL (Energy Control and Power Lockout) is a set of safety standards used to describe all potential
hazards associated with a machine. These hazards include all electrical energy (i.e. motors, switches) as
well as any stored energy (i.e. pneumatic and hydraulic pressure). Through the use of ECPL standards
operating and maintenance work on the machine and associated mechanical devices can be performed
in a safe manner. For each station on the machine an ECPL sign (sometimes referred to as a placard) is
posted nearby in a location that is easily accessible to the operating and maintenance personnel. The
ECPL sign contains information regarding the location of all lockouts and potential hazards associated
with the machine. These lockout and hazardous locations are designated with a Lockout Tag (i.e. E1, e1,
P1, p1, RH, CG...) that will be posted nearby for easy identification. Also, the proper lockout and
verification procedures are prominently displayed on the sign.
ALWAYS follow the instructions on the ECPL sign for proper machine lockout and verification procedures.
The ECPL Sign(s) shows the system's lockout points and lists procedures for proper machine lockout. ALWAYS
follow the instructions on the sign(s) POSTED ON THE END USERS OR INTEGRATOR’S EQUIPMENT for proper
lockout (see DANGER notice below).

DANGER
LOCKOUT OPERATIONS SHOULD BE PERFORMED AS INSTRUCTED ON
THE ECPL SIGN(S) POSTED ON THE END USER OR INTEGRATOR’S
EQUIPMENT. The information currently posted on the machine ECPL
DANGER
placard(s) is the authoritative, current procedure. Due to the
possibility of future changes being made to the equipment, this
section cannot be guaranteed to be current.
THE END USER OR INTEGRATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SAFETY
EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY LOCKOUT PROCEDURES! Please refer to the
sign(s) posted on the equipment. Failure to observe the lockout
procedures AS POSTED ON THE EQUIPMENT could result in injury or
death and/or could cause severe equipment damage.

• Consult the graphic lockout procedure posted on the equipment by the End User or Integrator before
performing any maintenance or repair task. No person should begin maintenance repairs until the proper
ECPL procedures are completed. The employee should contact his/her immediate supervisor if there are
any questions about the identification of potential energy sources.
• When service or maintenance is to be conducted, equipment must be put in the OFF position via energy
isolating devices such as electrical disconnects and valves.
• Before shutting down the equipment to lockout energy sources, the employee performing the procedure
or the supervisor shall inform affected employees of the intention to shut down the equipment.
• Please reference the PULSE NCP Lockout Procedure & SDP Lockout Procedure.
If the machine or equipment is operating, it must be shut down using normal shutdown procedures.

Essentially Lockout Tags are utilized as a method of warning personnel of a potential hazard associated with a
particular energy source. They are attached to or are placed in close proximity to energy isolating devices.
Lockout Tags alone do not provide the physical restraint on the energy device, this can only be provided by a lock.
Understanding the proper meaning of a Lockout Tag is necessary to prevent a false sense of security around
potential hazards on the machine. Lockout Tags identify the energy source lockout device. When the energy
source is locked out, they cannot become inadvertently or accidentally detached. The Lockout Tags shown below
illustrate some of the most common lockout designations.

5.9 Chassis-Pallet Marriage Procedure

Step 1: Utilize PULSE Pull-Off Cart


When introducing/removing a chassis assembly into the line, the first option should always be to
use a PULSE Pull-Off Cart.

Figure 5.9.1: PULSE Pull-Off Cart positioned at the end of the line.

Step 2: Utilize Lifting Straps to Pick Up the Chassis


Utilize lifting straps and a fork lift to pick up the chassis. The lifting straps should be equally
distanced on the chassis assembly and fed to both forks to ensure the weight is balanced and
securely transferred.

Figure 5.9.2: Lifting straps attached to a PULSE chassis assembly.

PULSE Carrier Assembly Instructions Manual / Revision: Release


PULSE_DM_DI_PULSECarrierAssemblyInstructionsManual_V.171011/ Date: 10.11.2017
58 / 89
Note: PULSE chassis assemblies utilize high strength Neodymium Iron Boron magnet arrays.

Magnet arrays are always active and present a strong magnetic field. Never use chains or bring a forklift in
direct contact with a magnet array. Failure to do so will result in potential injury and/or damage to
equipment.

Step 3: Load Chassis onto Pull-Off Cart


Slowly lower and load the chassis onto the pull-off cart, being careful to not get the chassis magnet array
close to any ferrous material.

Figure 5.9.3: PULSE chassis assembly positioned on a pull-off cart.

Step 4: Utilize Lifting Straps to Pick Up the Pallet

PULSE Carrier Assembly Instructions Manual / Revision: Release


PULSE_DM_DI_PULSECarrierAssemblyInstructionsManual_V.171011/ Date: 10.11.2017

Step 6: Load the Chassis/Pallet onto the Line


Once secured, load the chassis/pallet into the line via the pull-off cart.

Figure 5.9.8: Operators utilizing the pull-off cart to insert a chassis/pallet.

General Safety:
1. Do not place any body parts (e.g. finger) between a magnet and any ferrous material or another magnet.

2. To avoid serious injury, people with pacemakers and other medical electronic implants must stay away
from the magnets.

3. To avoid damage to watches, instruments, and magnetic media (e.g. credit cards), keep these items 2 feet

PULSE Carrier Assembly Instructions Manual / Revision: Release


PULSE_DM_DI_PULSECarrierAssemblyInstructionsManual_V.171011/ Date: 10.11.2017

from the magnets.

4. Always utilize lifting straps when attempting to lift a chassis assembly or pallet. Never use chains or bring
a forklift in direct contact with a magnet array. Failure to do so will result in potential injury and/or
damage to equipment.

5. Only lift a single chassis or a single pallet at a time.

Note: A chassis should not simultaneously be lifted with a pallet adjoined.

5.15PULSE Hardware “Best Practices” for Version 2 Panels
1 When connecting RS-422 cables, be aware that the cable and receptacle are not keyed. Use care when
aligning the cables, so as not to bend any pins in the motor controller’s receptacles.
2 High speed static and flex cables look very similar. Read identification tags on the cables to differentiate
between the two.
3 When rolling out cable, unroll it as if the cable were on a spool. Try to avoid kinking the cable when unrolling.
4 Any cable showing end connector damage must be immediately set aside for further disposition.
5 Cables should be the correct size and not coiled up in the tray.
6 All power and communication cables should be separated in long cable trunking runs.
7 Warning – Faulty RS-422 installation in reference to the motor placement may result in motion not consistent
with what is being commanded through the PLC. Motor flow should be followed strictly according to the
system installation drawings. See flow information.

7 DECOMMISSIONING, STORAGE, & DISPOSAL
7.1 Decommissioning
Description

This section describes all the work required for decommissioning the PULSE system. After
decommissioning, it is prepared for storage or for transportation to a different location.

Following its removal, the PULSE system may only be transported with lifting tackle and a fork
lift truck or pallet truck.
Precondition
• The removal site must be accessible with a crane or with a fork lift truck for transportation.
• The crane and fork lift truck have an adequate carrying capacity.
• There is no hazard posed by system components.
7.2 Storage
Preconditions
If the PULSE system must be put into long-term storage, the following points must be
observed:
• The place of storage must be as dry and dust-free as possible.
• Avoid temperature fluctuations.
• Avoid wind and drafts.
• Avoid condensation (80% humidity, non-condensing).
• Observe and comply with the permissible temperature ranges for storage
(-20°C ~ 40°C).
• Select a storage location in which the packaging materials cannot be damaged.
• Only store the PULSE system indoors.
• Chassis are not to be stored directly over ferrous material such as motors in a rail for
longer than one week at a time without moving the chassis. Failure to do so could
result in premature roller assembly failures.

7.3 Disposal
When the PULSE system reaches the end of its useful life, it can be dismantled, and the
materials can be disposed of properly by type.

As the end user, the customer is legally required to return depleted batteries. Used
batteries can be returned to the vendor or brought to the designated collection points (e.g.
the communal refuse collection facilities or commercial centers) free of charge. The
batteries can also be sent to the vendor by post.
