2 Safety instructions
2.1 About this chapter
The product has been manufactured according to the accepted rules of current
technology. Even so, there is danger of injury and damage to equipment if the
following chapter and safety instructions of this documentation are not followed.
1. Read these instructions completely before working with the product.
2. Keep this documentation in a location where it is accessible to all users at all
times.
3. Always include the documentation when you pass the product on to third par-
ties.
2.2 Intended use
The OPC-UA protocol described in this documentation is part of an electronic
component and was developed for use in industrial applications in the area of au-
tomation technology.
All AES modules are intended for professional use only and not for private use.
The modules may only be used for industrial applications (class A). An individual
license must be obtained from the authorities or an inspection center for systems
that are to be used in a residential area (residential, business, and commercial ar-
eas). In Germany, these individual licenses are issued by the Regulating Agency
for Telecommunications and Post (Regulierungsbehörde für Telekommunikation
und Post, Reg TP).
The OPC-UA connection in the AES module is designed to read data from the AES
module. It is not possible to control outputs or valves. Control of the outputs and
valves is reserved for the connected fieldbus. See
2.3 Improper use
Any use other than that described in the section "Intended use" is considered im-
proper and is not permitted.
The interface is designed to read data. It is not designed to control inputs or out-
puts.
