For your safety
2.3 Fundamental safety instructions
The following safety instructions must be observed when handling the Industrial PC.
Application conditions
• Do not use the Industrial PC under extreme environmental conditions. Keep the ventilation slots clear.
• Never use the Industrial PC in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Do not carry out any work on the Industrial PC when it is live. Always switch off the supply voltage for
the device before mounting it, replacing device components or rectifying malfunctions. This does not
apply to the replacement of hard disks in a RAID configuration.
• Never plug or unplug connectors during thunderstorms. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Ensure that the device has a protective and functional earth connection.
• Observe hot surfaces when using the device. There is a risk of burns.
Damage to property, loss of data and impairment of functions
• If you change the hardware and software configurations, you must keep within the specified limits of
power consumption and power dissipation (please refer to the respective data sheet).
• Ensure that only trained specialists with a control and automation technology background, operate the
Industrial PC. Use by unauthorized persons can lead to damage to property and loss of data.
• Protect the power supply cable with a fuse with a max. rating of 16A. The fuse serves to protect the
supply line in the event of a short circuit.
• In case of fire, extinguish the Industrial PC with powder or nitrogen.

3.2.2 Ethernet RJ45
The C6025 has three Gigabit LAN ports (X102-X104). The Ethernet standards 100Base-T and 1000Base-T
enable connection of corresponding network components with data rates of 100/1000 Mbit/s. The required
speed is selected automatically.
The RJ45 connection technology with twisted-pair cables is used. The maximum length of the cable
connection is 100 m.
The controllers are used as follows, based on the device generations:

3.3 Status LEDs
The Industrial PC has four status LEDs: UPS-OCT, PWR, HDD, TC. They provide information on the
following aspects:
• the transmission quality of the UPS-OCT signals
• the status of the power controller
• the hard disk activity
• the TwinCAT status
Fig.6: Status LEDs
3.3.1 UPS-OCT LED
The UPS-OCT LED indicates the transmission quality of the UPS-OCT signals. UPS stands for the
uninterruptible power supply. One-cable technology (OCT) enables the communication between PC and
UPS to be transmitted together with the power supply, so that only one cable is required.
The colors and flashing intervals have the following meanings:

Color Flashing interval Meaning
None Steadily lit No UPS-OCT connected
Blue Flashing Bootloader active
Yellow Flashing Moderate signal quality
Green Flashing Good signal quality
Red Flashing Poor signal quality
