Reistance to chemicals

Caution

The panel of the control unit is only partially resistant to chemicals. More information is available in the internet at "www.ad.siemens.de" under the heading "Products & Solutions." Click on "Service & Support" under "Services" and look for the article-ID "16532108" on the "Product Support" page. The desired article about chemical resistance will be displayed.

Sources of light

Notice

Position the screen so that it is not subject to direct sunlight or other strong sources of light.

Faulty pixels in the display

At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels of the display will be perfect. A small number of faulty pixels in the display, is therefore unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the faulty pixels are not bunched in one location.

For additional information, refer to the technical data.

TFT-LC display

A permanent picture with bright images can lead to a burn-in effect on the LCD.

If a screen saver is activated, please observe the following:

• The liquid crystals in screen savers which actuate active black when the backlighting is on, e.g. flying stars "starfield simulation," renew themselves. Pay attention to the length of time the backlighting is activated.

• The following applies to screen savers which turn off the the backlighting tubes: Each time the backlighting is turned on, its life is reduced by 50 minutes.

Consider the following carefully:

• Use of a screen saver

• Turn off the backlighting regularly

• Permanent display of the customer application

Equipotential bonding requirements

Reduce the differences in potential by laying the equipotential bonding cables in such a way that the affected electronic components function perfectly. Please comply with the following guidelines when setting up equipotential bonding:

• The lower the impedance of the equipotential bonding cable, the greater the effectiveness

of the equipotential bonding.

• When two system parts are connected by means of a shielded signal cable, and their

shields are both connected to the ground or protected conductor, the following must be observed: The impedance of the additonal equipotential bonding cable amounts to 10 % of the shield impedance, at the most.

• Make sure that the diameter of the equipotential bonding cable is proportional to the

maximum equalization current. Equipotential bonding cables with a 16 mm diameter have proven themselves in practice. 2.

• Use equipotential bonding cables made of copper or galvanized steel. Connect the

cables extensively with the ground or protective conductor. Protect the ground or protective conductor from corrosion.

• Lay the equipotential bonding cable in such a way that the area between the equipotential

bonding cable and signal cables is as small as possible.

11.1.2 ESD guideline

What ESD means

Almost all electronic modules are equipped with highly integrated components and elements in MOS technology. Due to their their technology, these electronic components are extremely sensitive to power surges and also to discharges of static electricity. These components are therefore marked as follows:

• ESD:components suceptible to ElectroStatic Discharge

• ESD: internationally recognized marking for components and modules susceptible to

electrostatic discharge

Appendix

11.1 Certificates and guidelines

Panel PC 670 V2/870 V2, Control unit

11-2 Operating Instructions, Edition 03/2004, CD Documentation and Drivers

The following symbols on switch cabinets, module carriers or packaging indicate their susceptibility to electrostatic discharge:

ESD components are destroyed by voltage and energy far below the limits of human perception. Such voltage can occur even when components or modules are touched by a person who is not charged with electrostatic energy. ESD components which were subject to such voltage are usually not recognized immediately as being defective, because the malfunction does not occur until after a longer period of operation.

Note

More information is located on the rating label. The rating label is described in the chapter "Planning use."

Protective measures against electrostatic charging

Most plastics can be charged easily. Therefore, keep plastics away from ESD components!

When working with electrostatically sensitive components, make sure that the person, the workstation and the packaging are properly grounded. Conduct the electrostaic charge away from your body by touching the mounting plate for the interfaces, for example.

Handling modules susceptible to electrostatic discharge

As a rule: Only touch ESD components if unavoidable due to necessary tasks.

Only touch the components when the following holds true:

• You are permanently grounded by means of an ESD armband.

• You are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoes grounding protective strips in connection with

ESD floors.

Discharge your body before touching ESD components. Touch a conductive object immediately beforehand, e.g. a bare metal part of a switch cabinet or the water pipe.

Do not allow chargeable, highly insulated materials, e.g. plastic films, insulating tabletops, synthetic clothing fibers, to come into contact with ESD components.

Place ESD components only on conductive surfaces (work surfaces with ESD surface, conductive ESD foam, ESD packing bag, ESD transport container).

Do not expose ESD components to visual display units, monitors or televisions. Maintain a distance of at least 10 cm to screens.

Handle flat components only by their edges. Do not touch component connectors or conductors. This prevents charges from reaching and damaging sensitive components.

11-3

Measuring and changing ESD modules

Measure the ESD component under the following conditions only:

• The measuring device is grounded with a protective conductor, for example.

• The probe on the potential-free measuring device has been discharged, e.g. by touching

the bare metal of a part of the switch cabinet.

• Your body is discharged. To do so, touch a grounded metallic component.

Solder only with grounded soldering irons.

Shipping modules susceptible to electrostatic discharge

Always store or ship ESD components in conductive packaging, e.g. metallized plastic boxes or metal cans. Leave the components and parts in their packaging until installation.

If the packaging is not conductive, wrap the ESD component in a conductive material, e.g. rubber foam, ESD bag, household aluminum foil, or paper, before packing. Do not wrap the ESD component in plastic bags or plastic film.

In ESD components containing installed batteries, make sure that the conductive packaging does not touch the battery connectors or short circuit. Insulate the connectors with suitable material.
