NOTICE
"Notice" identifies information that is directly or indirectly related to the safety of personnel or
property. It is not used for dangers or dangerous situations.
"Danger" or "warning" generally refers to a risk to life or limb. In this case, property damages are
considered only if there is also a risk to bodily injury corresponding to the danger level.
.5 Intended use
The field distributors podis MOT FA C/CM/CP and FA I C are AS-i modules on the podis energy
bus for the control and energy supply of decentral drives with binary interface.
The energy bus systems feature a state-of-the-art design and follow approved safety regula-
tions. Nevertheless, their use may create dangers to life and limb of users or third parties or
impairments of machinery, systems or other tangible assets.
The energy bus systems may be used only in a technically flawless condition and for proper,
safety-conscious and risk-conscious use while observing the operating instructions. The flaw-
less and safe operation of the controller assumes proper transport, proper storage and assem-
bly as well as careful operation and maintenance. In particular, malfunctions that could impair
the safety must be removed immediately.
The intended use of the energy bus systems requires following the instructions for the
mechanical and electrical assembly, commissioning and operation described in these operating
instructions.Never install or commission damaged products. Damages should be filed immedi-
ately with the transport company.Before applying supply voltage to the field distributor, the top
part (electronics cover) must be installed and fastened onto the bottom part.Before removing
the top part (electronics cover), the energy bus segment must be de-energized. Dangerous
voltages can be present up to one minute after disconnecting the supply (voltage in the DC
links for decentral frequency inverters or power supplies).During operation, do not disconnect
or connect any plug connections to the attached consumers.For the project planning, instal-
lation and commissioning of the energy bus systems as part of the supply of machines and
their controllers, the machine manufacturer and user must observe the safety regulations of
machine directive 89/392/EWG. For the specific application case, the national accident preven-
tion regulations apply. Observe the applicable safety and accident prevention regulations for
the respective application cases, such as the machine protection directive. All safety devices of
the controlled machine must be implemented in such a way that they operate independent of
the controller. EMERGENCY OFF devices according to IEC 60204 (corresponding to DIN VDE
113) must remain effective in all operating modes of the system. In an EMERGENCY OFF case,
the supply voltages of all switching elements controlled by the controller must be switched
off.The field distributor is intended exclusively for automation tasks in industrial systems and
machines. Any other or additional use beyond that is considered to be unintended use. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damages resulting from it.
For the intended use of the automation systems, the instructions described in these operat-
ing instructions for the mechanical and electrical assembly, commissioning and operation must
be observed.
