1.6. Use as Prescribed
This is a modular automation system based on the CANbus, intended for industrial control applications with-
in the medium to high performance range.
The automation system is designed for use within Overvoltage Category I
(IEC 364-4-443) for the controlling and regulating of machinery and industrial
processes in low-voltage installations in which the rated supply voltage does not exceed 1,000 VAC (50/60
Hz) or 1,500 VDC.
Qualified project planning and design, proper transport, storage, installation, use and careful maintenance
are essential to the flawless and safe operation of the automation system.
The automation system may only be used within the scope of the data and appli-
cations specified in the present documentation and associated user manuals.
The automation system is to be used only as follows:
as prescribed
in technically flawless condition
without arbitrary or unauthorized changes and
exclusively by qualified users
The regulations of the German professional and trade associations, the German technical supervisory board
(TÜV), the VDE (Association of German electricians) or other corresponding national bodies are to be ob-
served.
Safety-oriented (fail-safe) systems
Particular measures are required in connection with the use of SPC in safety-oriented systems.
If an SPC is to be used in a safety-oriented system, the user ought to seek the full advice of the SPC manufac-
turer in addition to observing any standards or guidelines on safety installations which may be available.
WARNING
As with any electronic control system, the failure of particular compo-
nents may result in uncontrolled and/or unpredictable operation.
All types of failure and the associated fuse systems are to be taken into ac-
count at system level. The advice of the SPC manufacturer should be sought if
necessary.
