General information • Safety notices
14 Power Panel 500 User's Manual V 1.00
• Measurement devices and equipment must be grounded.
• Measurement probes on potential-free measurement devices must be discharged on
sufficiently grounded surfaces before taking measurements.
Individual components
• ESD protective measures for individual components are thoroughly integrated at B&R
(conductive floors, footwear, arm bands, etc.).
• The increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not necessary
for our customers for handling B&R products.
2.3 Polocy and procedures
Electronic devices are generally not failsafe. In the event of a failure on the programmable
control system, operating or monitoring device, or uninterruptible power supply, the user is
responsible for ensuring that other devices that may be connected, e.g. motors, are in a secure
state.
Both when using programmable logic controllers and when using operating and monitoring
devices as control systems in conjunction with a soft PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or
comparable products) or a slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable products), the safety
precautions applying to industrial control systems (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as
emergency stop circuits, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and
international regulations. The same applies for all other devices connected to the system, such
as drives.
All tasks such as installation, commissioning, and maintenance are only permitted to be carried
out by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are persons familiar with transport, mounting,
installation, commissioning, and operation of the product who also have the respective qualifi-
cations (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident prevention guidelines must be followed.
The safety guidelines, connection descriptions (type plate and documentation), and limit values
listed in the technical data are to be read carefully before installation and commissioning and
must be observed.
2.4 Transport and storage
During transport and storage, devices must be protected from excessive stress (mechanical
load, temperature, humidity, aggressive atmospheres, etc.).
2.5 Mounting
• Installation must take place according to the documentation, using suitable equipment
and tools.
• Devices must be installed without voltage applied and by qualified personnel. Before
installation, voltage to the switching cabinet should be switched off and prevented
from being switched on again.
