Safety information
2.1
General safety notes
The following safety notes must always be observed regardless of specific application
conditions:
•
The device must only be mounted, commissioned, operated, and maintained by
professionally qualified safety personnel.
•
Electrical connections with peripheral devices must only be made when the volt‐
age supply is disconnected.
•
The device is only to be operated when mounted in a fixed position.
•
The device voltage supply must be protected in accordance with the specifications.
•
The specified ambient conditions must be observed at all times.
•
The electrical connections to peripheral devices must be screwed on correctly.
•
The pin assignment of pre-assembled cables must be checked and adjusted if
necessary.
•
These operating instructions must be made available to the operating personnel
and kept ready to hand.

Notes on UL approval
UL Environmental Rating: Enclosure type 1
2.3
Intended use
The device is a programmable control and evaluation unit for IO-Link sensors and
sensors with digital inputs and outputs . The device also acts as a link between system
and plant controls, and the connected terminal devices. The device is mainly used in
an industrial environment in production, testing, and control. Other applications are
possible depending on the device-specific properties.
The device is programmed on a PC by using the development environment software
SICK AppSpace. Depending on the application, a browser-based, graphical user inter‐
face (HMI) can be created, which provides opportunities defined by the application
developer to influence an application at operator level.
The device offers various interfaces for controlling, programming, and operating pur‐
poses, which can be activated as necessary via development environments, control
systems (programmable logic controllers), or applications.
However, configuration, programming, and control requires various technical skills,
depending on how the device is connected and used.
2.4
Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica‐
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
•
The device does not constitute a safety component in accordance with the respec‐
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
•
The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme environmental conditions.
•
Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.
