Danger from incorrect use of safety-related products/functions
Proper functionality is only ensured if the products/functions are used in accordance with their intend-
ed use by qualified personnel and the provided safety information is taken into account. The afore-
mentioned conditions must be observed or covered by supplementary measures on your own respon-
sibility in order to ensure the specified protective functions.
16.1 Qualified personnel
Use of safety-related products is restricted to the following persons:
•
Qualified personnel who are familiar with relevant safety concepts for automation technology as well as
applicable standards and regulations
•
Qualified personnel who plan, develop, install and commission safety equipment in machines and systems
Qualified personnel in the context of this manual's safety guidelines are those who, because of their training,
experience and instruction combined with their knowledge of relevant standards, regulations, accident prevention
guidelines and operating conditions, are qualified to carry out essential tasks and recognize and avoid potentially
dangerous situations.
In this regard, sufficient language skills are also required in order to be able to properly understand this manual.
16.2 Application range
The safety-related B&R control components described in this manual were designed, developed and manufactured
for special applications for machine and personnel protection. They are not suitable for any use involving serious
risks or hazards that could lead to the injury or death of several people or serious environmental impact without the
implementation of exceptionally stringent safety precautions. In particular, this includes the use of these devices
to monitor nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants, flight control systems, air traffic control, the control of mass
transport vehicles, medical life support systems and the control of weapon systems.
When using safety-oriented control components, the safety precautions applying to industrial control systems (e.g.
the provision of safety devices such as emergency stop circuits, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applic-
able national and international regulations. The same applies for all other devices connected to the system, e.g.
drives or light curtains.
The safety guidelines, information about connection conditions (nameplate and documentation) and limit values
specified in the technical data must be read carefully before installation and commissioning and must be strictly
observed.
