10.2.6.5 USB connection with the Automation Panel 1000
10.2.6.5.1 Introduction
The information below describes the use of USB peripheral devices on the front USB interface of the B&R Automa-
tion Panel 1000 in hazardous locations Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D.
Danger!
EXPLOSIONSGEFAHR
•
Before installation or use in potentially explosive atmospheres, the explosion protection class
of the device must be checked according to ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 and CSA C22.2 N°213.
•
To switch on/off B&R devices installed in potentially explosive atmosphere, one of the following
conditions must be met:
°
A switch outside the hazardous area must be used, or
°
A switch certified according to hazardous location class and division for "tube use"
must be used.
•
As long as the electrical circuit is activated, cables or lines are not permitted to be connected or
disconnected unless the area is knowingly free of flammable concentrations of vapors, gases
and other flammable or combustible materials. This applies to all connections and circuits. This
includes power, ground and network connections as well as series and parallel connections.
•
Unshielded/ungrounded cables are never permitted to be used in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres.
•
Only configurations with nonincendive USB devices are permitted to be used.
•
The doors and openings of housings must always remain closed. This prevents the accumula-
tion of foreign bodies within the workstation.
Failure to follow this instruction can result in death, serious bodily injury or damage to property!
10.2.6.5.2 Description
Nonincendive devices (keyboards, mouse) are certified for use on the front USB interface of the B&R Automation
Panel 1000 (connected device) and are permitted to be connected and disconnected during operation. In addition
to the nonincendive property, devices that can be connected to the front USB interface must meet the following
criteria.
