Intended use
The devices described in this manual are decentralized input/output modules
on an EtherCAT
®
network.
We adhere to all safety standards when developing, producing, testing, and
documenting our products. When you adhere to the handling specifications
and safety instructions described for the configuration, assembly, and correct
operation, there should not normally be any risks for people or equipment.
The modules fulfill the requirements of the EMC guidelines (89/336/EEC,
93/68/EEC and 93/44/EEC) and the low voltage guideline (73/23/EEC).
The modules are designed to be used in the industrial sector. The industrial
environment is distinguished by the fact that the consumer is not connected
directly to the public low voltage network. Additional measures are required
for use in residential areas or in business and commercial sectors.
The proper and safe operation of this product depends on proper
transportation, storage, assembly, and installation, and careful operation.
A completely assembled device housing is required for the proper operation
of the modules. Only connect devices to the modules that fulfill the
requirements of EN 61558-2-4 and EN 61558-2-6.
During the configuration, installation, start-up, maintenance, and testing of
the devices, adhere to the safety and accident-prevention guidelines for the
specific application.
NOTE
This equipment may cause radio interference in residential areas. In this
case the operator may be requested to carry out appropriate measures.
