Safety
This chapter concerns your own safety and the safety of the system operator.
▸
Please read this chapter carefully before you begin working with the gateway system.
2.1
Qualified personnel
The gateway system must only be commissioned and maintained by properly qualified
personnel.
A qualified person
•
has sufficient skills in the field of the respective equipment based on their technical
training and experience
and
•
has been instructed by the manufacturer in system operation and all applicable safety
guidelines
and
•
is familiar with all relevant country-specific occupational safety regulations, work safety
regulations, guidelines, and generally accepted technical rules and standards
(e.
g., DIN standards, VDE regulations, country-specific rules) to such an extent that
they are able to evaluate the safe condition of the power-driven machinery,
and
•
has access to and has read the operating instructions.
2.2
Applications of the system
The
T
elematic
D
ata
C
ollector (
TDC
) gateway system is a system used to receive and
transmit telemetry data on a cloud server. It is, for example, ideal for sensor-controlled
monitoring tasks, vehicle tracking, working hours management, and access control as
well as for remote measurement.
The gateway system uses one or more TDC devices to collect data. The TDC devices
feature all of the standard interfaces that are required to integrate sensors and other
devices.
The sensor data received is transmitted to the cloud via the mobile network through either
the SICK online portal or a customer server.
The SICK online portal is a platform that can be used to visualize sensor data on a web-
based user interface, allowing for convenient monitoring.
The TDC gateway system also supports the integration of recorded sensor data into all
leading business applications. Integration is an option when using either the SICK online
portal or a cloud-based customer server via an API included as part of the scope of
delivery or via the MQTT protocol in a defined topic structure.
2.3
Intended use
The gateway system may only be used by qualified personnel in the environment in which
it was mounted and initially commissioned by qualified personnel in accordance with
these operating instructions.
If used in any other way or if alterations are made to the gateway system – including
in the context of mounting and installation – this will render void any warranty claims
directed to SICK AG.
