Safety
This section provides an overview of all the important safety
aspects for optimal protection of personnel, as well as for safe and
trouble-free operation.
Significant hazards can occur if the handling instructions and
safety instructions in this manual are not complied with.
3.1
Safety devices

of the plant control system.
The emergency-stop devices must be connected in such a manner
that dangerous situations for persons and property are excluded in
the event of power supply interruption, or activation of the power
supply after an interruption.
The emergency-stop devices must always be freely accessible.
