System Design
• Do not create switches used to control machine safety
operations, such as an emergency stop switch, as a GP
touch screen icon. Be sure to install these switches as
separate hardware switches, otherwise severe bodily
injury or equipment damage can occur.
• Please design your system so that equipment will not
malfunction due to a communication fault between the GP
and its host controller. This is to prevent any possibility
of bodily injury or material damage.
• The GP is not appropriate for use with aircraft control
devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data trans-
mission (communication) devices, nuclear power control
devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these
devices’ inherent requirements of extremely high levels of
safety and reliability.
• When using the GP with transportation vehicles (trains,
cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices,
various types of safety equipment, non-life support re-
lated medical devices, etc. redundant and/or failsafe sys-
tem designs should be used to ensure the proper degree
of reliability and safety.
