Important safety notes
Drives and process control systems are a very important part of creating better quality and value
in products, but they must be designed, installed and used with great care to ensure everyone's
safety. Pay particular attention to all the safety warnings in this section.
Electric shock risk! Electrical devices constitute a safety hazard. It is the responsibility of
the user to ensure compliance with any acts or bylaws in force.
Do not attempt to commission the PL/X unless you:
•
are qualified, and have the knowledge and skills to use it safely.
•
thoroughly understand the operation of the machine on which the PL/X is installed,
•
have read and understood this document, and
•
are familiar with electrical wiring and safety standards.
Only use qualified personnel to design, construct, operate and maintain your systems.
Make sure that all personnel who use or maintain the equipment are aware of all the
hazards that are involved in your equipment and processes.
If you have any doubts about the safety of your system or process, do not proceed
without first consulting an expert.
