1.6. Intended use
The devices are intended for use in modular automation systems for industrial control applications within
the medium to high performance range. They expand the control system (e. g. ECC22XX) by addition of
further digital or analogue inputs and outputs, and are connected by means of EtherCAT.
The automation system is designed for use within overvoltage category I (IEC 364-4-443) systems for
controlling and regulating machinery and industrial processes in low-voltage installations in accordance with
the following general parameters:
maximum rated supply voltage of 1,000 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 1,500 V DC
for use in maximum category 2 pollution environment (EN 60950)
for use up to a maximum altitude of 2,000 m above msn.
for indoor use only in areas not exposed to direct UV radiation
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 applications specified in this
documentation and associated user manuals.
The automation system must only be used:
as intended
in a technically perfect condition
without any unauthorised modifications
by qualified users
Observe the rules of the employer’s liability insurance association, the technical inspectorate, and the
VDE (Association of German Electrical Engineers) or corresponding country regulations.
The device is intended for installation within enclosed control cabinets of industrial machines and systems in
indoor areas.
When installing the device, check that the seal profiles are undamaged.
For operation, refer to the applicable statement of ambient conditions (see “Technical data”).
