1.6. Use as Prescribed

This is a modular automation system based on the CANbus, intended for industrial control applications with-

in the medium to high performance range.

The automation system is designed for use within Overvoltage Category I (IEC 364-4-443) for the controlling

and regulating of machinery and industrial processes in low-voltage installations in which the rated supply

voltage does not exceed 1,000 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 1,500 VDC.

The automation system is further usable in a pollution degree 2 environment or similar.

The modules shall be supplied by a power source with safe separation protected by an UL 248 fuse, rated

max. 100/V where V is the DC supply voltage with maximum value of 28.8 VDC, such that the limited voltage

/ limited current requirements of UL 508 are met.

Wire connection specifications: Use AWG wire size 16-22 or equivalent.

Qualified project planning and design, proper transport, storage, installation, use and careful maintenance

are essential to the flawless and safe operation of the automation system.

The automation system may only be used within the scope of the data and applications specified in the pre-

sent documentation and associated user manuals.

The automation system is to be used only as follows:

 as prescribed

 in technically flawless condition

 without arbitrary or unauthorized changes and

 exclusively by qualified users

The regulations of the German professional and trade associations, the German technical supervisory board

(TÜV), the VDE (Association of German electricians) or other corresponding national bodies are to be ob-

served.

Safety-oriented (fail-safe) systems

Particular measures are required in connection with the use of SPC in safety-oriented systems.

If an SPC is to be used in a safety-oriented system, the user ought to seek the full advice of the SPC manufac-

turer in addition to observing any standards or guidelines on safety installations which may be available.

WARNING

As with any electronic control system, the failure of particular compo-

nents may result in uncontrolled and/or unpredictable operation.

All types of failure and the associated fuse systems are to be taken into ac-

count at system level. The advice of the SPC manufacturer should be sought if

necessary.
