This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the relevant information is not taken into account.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

Preface
Illustrations and text highlighting
This manual contains illustrations of the described devices. The illustrations may deviate
from the supplied device in certain details.
The following graphical highlighting facilitates reading these operating instructions:
Graphical highlighting Description
If the instructions involve several tasks,
the individual tasks are highlighted by a
red number circle.
A light blue highlight indicates

components and tools that are required
in the course of a task.
Safety instructions are highlighted by an
orange frame.
KTP600 Basic is sometimes shown in
the illustrations as a representation of all
Basic Panels.
The following text highlighting facilitates reading these operating instructions:
Text highlighting Scope
"Add screen"
"File > Edit" Operational sequences, for example, menu commands, shortcut
<F1> Keyboard operation
• Terms that appear in the user interface, for example, dialog
names, tabs, buttons, menu commands
• Input values, for example, limits, tag values
• Path information
menu commands
Configuration and runtime software have different names as follows:
● "WinCC flexible 2008" or "WinCC (TIA Portal) V11", for example, refers to the
configuration software.
The term "WinCC flexible" or "WinCC" is used in a general context. The full name, for
example, "WinCC flexible 2008", is always used when it is necessary to differentiate
between different versions of the configuration software.
● "WinCC flexible Runtime" or "WinCC Runtime" refers to the runtime software that can run
on HMI devices.
