Regulations Concerning the Setting up of Installations
Apart from the basic „Regulations for the Setting up of Power Installations“ DIN VDE* 0100 and for „The Rating of Creepage Di-
stances and Clearances“ DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 and Part 2 the regulations „The Equipment of Power Installations with Electrical
Components“ DIN VDE 0160 in conjunction with DIN VDE 0660 Part 500 have to be taken into due consideration.
Further attention has to be paid to DIN VDE 0113 Part 1 and Part 200 in case of the control of working and processing machi-
nes. If operating elements are to be mounted near parts with dangerous contact voltage DIN VDE 0106 Part 100 is additionally
relevant.
If the protection against direct contact according to DIN VDE 0160 is required, this has to be ensured by the user (e.g. by
incorporating the elements in a switch-gear cabinet). The devices are designed for pollution severity 2 in accordance with DIN
VDE 0110 Part 1. If higher pollution is expected, the devices must be installed in appropriate housings.
The user has to guarantee that the devices and the components belonging to them are mounted following these regulations.
For operating the machines and installations, other national and international relevant regulations, concerning prevention of
accidents and using technical working means, also have to be met.
The Advant Controller devices are designed according to IEC 61131 Part 2. Meeting this regulation, they are classified in over-
voltage category II which is in conformance with DIN VDE 0110 Part 2.
For the direct connection of Advant Controller devices, which are powered with or coupled to AC line voltages of overvoltage
category III, appropriate protection measures corresponding to overvoltage category II according to IEC-Report 664/1980 and
DIN VDE 0110 Part 1 are to install.

Safety technical instructions
Please read!
General
Completely safe installation and starting up and problem-free functioning of the device at its work location can be ensured by
observing the following instructions.
Qualified personnel
The safety modules SM560-S(-XC), SM560-S-FD-1(-XC), SM560-S-FD-4(-XC), AI581-S(-XC), DI581-S(-XC) and DX581-S(-XC)
are intended for qualified personnel familiar with functional safety. You must read and understand the AC500-S Safety User
Manual prior to operating these modules.
Refer to www.abb.com/PLC, document no.: 3ADR025091M02* (* = sequential version number).
Both the AC500 control system and other components in the vicinity are operated with dangerous contact voltages. Touching
parts, which are under such voltages, can cause grave damage to health.
In order to avoid such risks and the occurrence of material damage, everyone involved with the assembly, starting up and servi-
cing must possess pertinent knowledge of the following:
– the automation technology sector,
– dealing with dangerous voltages,
– using standards and regulations, in particular VDE, accident prevention regulations and regulations con cerning special ambi-
ent conditions (e.g. areas poten tially endangered by explosive materials, heavy pollu tion or corrosive influences).
Use as directed
The AC500 control system has been developed, manufactured, tested and documented while observing the relevant standards.
When observing the valid regulations for assembly, start-up and maintenance, the product poses no danger to health and ob-
jects in the normal case.
Use as directed means that the devices are used and maintained exclusively as described (in the operating manual or in the
AC500 system description).
Any liability for the consequences of incorrect use or after unauthorized repairs is rejected.
