General information
Important!
If the device is not used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, the protection provided by the device may be impaired.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs), operating/monitoring devices (industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Panels, etc.) and uninterruptible power supplies from B&R have been designed, developed and manufactured for conventional use in industrial environments. They were not designed, developed and manufactured for any use involving serious risks or hazards that could lead to death, injury, serious physical impairment or loss of any kind 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, in flight control or flight safety systems as well as in the control of mass transportation systems, medical life support systems or weapons systems.
When using programmable logic controllers or operating/monitoring devices as control systems in connection with a Soft PLC (e.g. Automation Runtime or comparable product) or Slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable product), safety precautions relevant to industrial control systems (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as emergency stop, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and international regulations. This also applies to all other devices connected to the system, such as drives.
All tasks such as the installation, commissioning and servicing of devices are only permitted to be carried out by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those familiar with the transport, mounting, installation, commissioning and operation of devices who also have the appropriate qualifications to perform these tasks (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident prevention regulations must be observed.
The safety notices, information about connection conditions (nameplate and documentation) and limit values specified in the technical data must be read carefully before installation and commissioning and are to be observed in all cases.
Electronic devices are never completely failsafe. If the programmable logic controller, operating/monitoring device or uninterruptible power supply fails, the user is responsible for ensuring that other connected devices such as motors are brought to a safe state.
Electrical components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be handled accordingly.
• Electrical components with a housing
...do not require special ESD packaging but must be handled properly (see "Electrical components with a housing" on page 7).
• Electrical components without a housing
...are protected by ESD-suitable packaging.
Electrical components with a housing
•Do not touch the connector contacts on the device (bus data contacts).
•Do not touch the connector contacts on connected cables.
•Do not touch the contact tips on circuit boards.

General information
Electrical components without a housing
The following points apply in addition to the points listed under "Electrical components with a housing":
•Any persons handling electrical components or devices with installed electrical components must be grounded.
•Components are only permitted to be touched on their narrow sides or front plate.
•Components must always be placed on or stored in a suitable medium (ESD packaging, conductive foam, etc.).
Information: Metallic surfaces are not suitable storage surfaces!
•Components must not be subjected to electrostatic discharge (e.g. caused by charged plastics).
•Observe a minimum distance of 10 cm from monitors and television sets.
•Measuring instruments and equipment must be grounded.
•Probe tips of galvanically isolated measuring instruments must be temporarily discharged on suitably grounded surfaces before taking measurements.
Individual components
•ESD protective measures for individual components are thoroughly implemented at B&R (conductive floors, footwear, arm bands, etc.).
•Increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not required for handling B&R products at customer locations.
Electronic devices are never completely failsafe. If the programmable logic controller, operating/monitoring device or uninterruptible power supply fails, the user is responsible for ensuring that other connected devices such as motors are brought to a safe state.
When using programmable logic controllers or operating/monitoring devices as control systems in connection with a Soft PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or comparable product) or Slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable product), safety precautions relevant to industrial control systems (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as emergency stop, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and international regulations.

National accident prevention regulations must be observed.
The safety notices, information about connection conditions (nameplate and documentation) and limit values specified in the technical data must be read carefully before installation and commissioning and are to be observed in all cases.
During transport and storage, devices must be protected against undue stress (mechanical loads, temperature, moisture, corrosive atmospheres, etc.).
Devices contain components sensitive to electrostatic charges that can be damaged by improper handling. It is therefore necessary to provide the required protective measures against electrostatic discharge when installing or removing these devices (see "Protection against electrostatic discharge" on page 7).
•Installation must be performed according to this documentation using suitable equipment and tools.
•Devices are only permitted to be installed by qualified personnel and when the power is switched off.
•General safety guidelines and national accident prevention regulations must be observed.
•Electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with applicable guidelines (e.g. wire cross sections, fuses, protective ground connections).
•Take the necessary protective measures against electrostatic discharge (see "Protection against electrostatic discharge" on page 7).

General information
To operate programmable logic controllers, operating/monitoring devices and uninterruptible power supplies, certain components must carry dangerous voltage levels over 42 VDC. Touching one of these components can result in a life-threatening electric shock. This could lead to death, severe injury or damage to property.
Before switching on programmable logic controllers, operating/monitoring devices or the uninterruptible power supply, it must be ensured that the housing is properly connected to ground (PE rail). Ground connections must also be established when the operating/monitoring device or uninterruptible power supply is connected for test purposes or only being operated for a short period of time!
Before switching on the device, all voltage-carrying components must be securely covered. During operation, all covers must remain closed.
The use of operating/monitoring devices (e.g. industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Panels) and uninterruptible power supplies in very dusty environments must be avoided. The collection of dust on devices can affect functionality and may prevent sufficient cooling, especially in systems with active cooling (fans).
The presence of corrosive gases can also result in impaired functionality. When combined with high temperature and humidity, corrosive gases – e.g. with sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine components – can induce chemical reactions that can damage electronic components very quickly. The presence of corrosive gases is indicated by blackened copper surfaces and cable ends on existing installations.
When operated in dusty or moist environments that could potentially impair functionality, operating/monitoring devices such as the Automation Panel and Power Panel are protected on the front against the ingress of dust or moisture when installed properly (e.g. cutout installation). The back of all devices must be protected from the ingress of dust and moisture, however; any collected dust must be removed at suitable intervals.
This system is subject to potential risk each time data is exchanged or software is installed from a data storage medium (e.g. diskette, CD-ROM, USB flash drive, etc.), network connection or the Internet. The user is responsible for assessing these risks, implementing preventive measures such as virus protection programs, firewalls, etc. and making sure that software is obtained only from trusted sources.
All programmable controllers, operating/monitoring devices and uninterruptible power supplies from B&R are designed to minimize harm to the environment as far as possible.
It is necessary to separate out the different materials so that devices can undergo an environmentally friendly recycling process.
