ESD Protective Measures
Only personnel with knowledge of ESD protective measures may modify or extend the system
or replace a module.
NOTE
Electrostatic discharge can damage the electronic components within the HIMatrix
systems!
When performing the work, make sure that the workspace is free of static, and wear
an ESD wrist strap.
If not used, ensure that the modules are protected from electrostatic discharge, e.g.,
by storing them in their packaging.
2.5
Residual Risk
No imminent risk results from a modular HIMatrix F60 system itself.
Residual risk may result from:
Faults related to engineering
Faults related to the user program
Faults related to the wiring
2.6
Safety Precautions
Observe all local safety requirements and use the protective equipment required on site.
2.7
Emergency Information
A HIMatrix system is a part of the safety equipment of a plant. If a device or a module fails, the
system enters the safe state.
In case of emergency, no action that may prevent the HIMatrix systems from operating safely is
permitted.
