Maintenance and cleaning
Beckhoff recommends service intervals in order to avoid permanent
damage to the system. Contamination, dust or chips can have a
negative effect on the function of the components. In the worst case,
contamination can lead to failure. Therefore, clean and service the
components at regular and necessary intervals.
Ensure safe condition for cleaning work
Basically, electronic devices are not fail-safe. The condition is al-
ways safe when the unit is switched off and not energized. For
cleaning work, bring the connected motors and the machine into a
safe condition.
Carrying cleaning work during operation can lead to serious or fa-
tal injuries.
Do not immerse or spray XTS components
Wipe off the XTS components only with a cleaning agent and a
cloth.
Cleaning by immersion can lead to damage to the XTS compo-
nents and surfaces as well as to leak-tightness problems due to
impermissible solutions.
Cleaning materials
Carefully clean the components with a damp cloth or brush.
Isopropanol is suitable for cleaning.
