Safety
Safety-related systems
The use of PLC in safety-related systems requires specific measures. Wherever a PLC is to be used in a safety-
related system, the user must be given comprehensive advice by the PLC manufacturer in addition to
information on any available standards or regulations regarding safety installations.
Before starting any work on devices, switch off all power feeds, including peripherals.
Keep all ventilation holes unobstructed.
Failure in certain components in an electronic control system may result in uncontrolled and/or
unpredictable operational behaviour.
All types of failure must be considered at the system level and the associated preventative measures
identified.
If necessary, request information from your automation system provider.
