Safety Precautions
Correct Use
The 842E-CM Integrated Motion encoder is an instrument manufactured
in accordance with recognized industrial regulations, and that meets the
quality requirements as per ISO 9001:2008 as well as those of an
environment management system as per ISO 14001:2009.
An encoder is a device designed to be mounted in a system, and that
cannot be used independently of its intended function. For this reason,
an encoder is not equipped with immediate safety devices.
Considerations for the safety of personnel and systems must be provided
by the constructor of the system, as per statutory regulations.
By design, the encoder can only be operated within an EtherNet/IP
network. It is necessary to comply with the EtherNet/IP specifications and
guidelines for setting up a EtherNet/IP network.
In case of any other usage of, or modifications to the 842E-CM Integrated
Motion encoder, e.g., opening the housing during mounting and
electrical installation, or in case of modifications to the Rockwell
Automation software, any claims against Rockwell Automation under
warranty will be rendered void.
