Safety Precautions
Observe the following precautions for the proper use Compact 5000 I/O
safety modules.
For more information about safety precautions, see
.
ATTENTION:
Personnel responsible for the application of safety-related
programmable electronic systems (PES) shall be aware of the safety
requirements in the application of the system and shall be trained in the use
of the system.
ATTENTION:
As serious injury can occur due to loss of required safety
function, follow the following safety precautions.
• Never use test outputs as safety outputs. Test outputs are not safety outputs.
• Do not use standard I/O data or explicit message data as safety data.
• Do not use light-emitting diode (LED) status indicators on the I/O modules
for safety operations.
• Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to the safety outputs.
• Apply properly specified voltages to the module. Applying inappropriate
voltages can cause the module to fail to perform its specified function,
which could lead to loss of safety functions or damage to the module.
• Wire the Compact 5000 I/O safety modules as shown in the Compact 5000
I/O Modules and EtherNet/IP Adapters Technical Data, publication
• Set unique network node addresses before connecting devices to the
network.
• Perform testing to confirm that device wiring, configuration, and operation
is correct before you start system operation.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the module. This can result in loss of
safety functions.
