Connecting peripheral devices
To be noted before you connect the device
NOTICE
Fault caused by peripheral devices
The connection of peripheral devices can cause faults in the device. The result may be
personal injury and damage to the machine or plant. Note the following:
•
Only connect peripheral devices which are approved for industrial applications in
accordance with EN 61000-6-2/IEC 61000-6-2.
•
Peripheral devices that are incapable of hot-plugging may only be connected after the
device has been disconnected from the power supply.
•
Use high quality connection cables and adapters for the peripheral devices.
•
Use the shortest possible connection cables for the peripheral devices.
Damage through regenerative feedback
•
Regenerative feedback of voltage to ground by a connected or installed component can
damage the device.
•
Connected or built-in peripheral device, for example, a USB drive, must not supply any
voltage to the device. Regenerative feedback is generally not permitted.
NOTICE
Observe the documentation of your peripheral devices
Strictly adhere to the specifications for peripheral equipment.
WARNING
Equipotential bonding of the signal cable shields
When you connect long signal cables (particularly with connections between buildings),
make sure the signal cables are always integrated into the local equipotential bonding
system (connecting the cable shielding to the protective conductor).
WARNING
Inter-building networks
Only the LAN interface on the docking station is permitted for inter-building networks.
