1.3. Use as Prescribed
This is a modular automation system based on the CANbus, intended for industrial
control applications within 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.
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 applica-
tions specified in the present documentation and associated user manuals.
The automation system is to be used only as follows:
 as prescribed,
 in technically flawless condition,
 without arbitrary or unauthorised 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 observed.
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 manufacturer 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 components may
result in uncontrolled and/or unpredictable operation. All types of failure and the
associated fuse systems are to be taken into account at system level.
The advice of the SPC manufacturer should be sought if necessary
