In manuals, this symbol refers the reader to further information in this manual or
other manuals or technical information documents.
As a rule there is no direct link to such documents.
This symbol warns the reader of the risk to components from electrostatic dis-
charges caused by touch.
Recommendation:
at least touch the Minus of the system (cabinet of PGU
connector) before coming in contact with the electronic parts. Better is to use a
grounding wrist strap with its cable attached to the Minus of the system.

Product and documentation concept
The Saia
®
PCD product range
is rigorously modular in structure. It demonstrates
a clear hierarchy of systems, sub-systems, functions and diverse accessories. Fully
developed software tools allow the efficient creation of user programs.
All Saia
®
PCD systems (up to PCD6) work with the same operating system. The PCD
systems communicate easily with each other and PCD user programs run on all sys-
tems.
PCDn xx7 series controllers have a special operating system. This enables them to
be programmed with Siemens
®
STEP
®
7 and to communicate readily with the corre-
sponding systems of other manufacturers.
Saia
®
PCD customer documentation
comprises pre-sales and after-sales docu-
ments that complement each other. As a rule, they are published in three language
versions (German, English, French).
