General safety instructions
WARNING
Life-threatening voltages are present with an open control cabinet
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure
to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
When you install the device in a control cabinet, some areas or components in the open
control cabinet may be carrying life-threatening voltages.
If you touch these areas or components, you may be killed by electric shock.
Switch off the power supply to the cabinet before opening it.

WARNING
Risk of fire through expansion cards
NOTICE
"Open Type" UL61010-2-201
2.2 General safety instructions
Device and system expansions may be faulty and can affect the entire machine or plant.
The installation of expansions can damage the device, machine or plant. Device and
system expansions may violate safety rules and regulations regarding radio interference
suppression. If you install or exchange system expansions and damage your device, the
warranty becomes void.
Note the following for system expansions:
● Only install system expansion devices designed for this device. Contact your technical
support team or where you purchased your PC to find out which system expansion
devices may safely be installed.
● Observe the information on electromagnetic compatibility (Page 47).
Expansion cards generate additional heat. The device may overheat and cause a fire.
Please note the following:
• Observe the safety and installation instructions for the expansion cards.
• If in doubt, install the device in an enclosure that is compliant with sections 4.6 and 4.7.3
of the IEC/UL/EN/DIN-EN 60950-1 standard.
Note that the device is classified as "Open Type" for use in the area of Industrial Control
Equipment (UL61010-2-201). A UL61010-2-201 conform enclosure is therefore a
mandatory requirement for approval or operation according to UL61010-2-201.

Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD)
When you touch electrostatic sensitive components, you can destroy them through voltages
2.2 General safety instructions
Improper handling of lithium batteries can result in an explosion of the batteries.
Explosion of the batteries and the released pollutants can cause severe physical injury.
Worn batteries jeopardize the function of the device.
Note the following when handling lithium batteries:
• Replace used batteries in good time; see the section "Replacing the backup battery
(Page 39)" in the operating instructions.
• Replace the lithium battery only with an identical battery or types recommended by the
manufacturer (type: CR2032).
• For any requirements on product maintenance, contact Siemens Technical support
(Page 79).
• Do not throw lithium batteries into fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not recharge,
do not open, do not short-circuit, do not reverse polarity, do not heat above 100°C and
protect from direct sunlight, moisture and condensation.
The device has an increased immunity to RF radiation according to the specifications on
electromagnetic compatibility in the technical specifications.
Radiation exposure in excess of the specified immunity limits can impair device functions,
result in malfunctions and therefore injuries or damages.
Read the information on immunity to RF radiation in the technical specifications.
Electrostatic sensitive devices can be labeled with an appropriate symbol.

6. If the contents of the packaging are incomplete, damaged or do not match your order,
inform the responsible delivery service immediately.
A damaged device can be under hazardous voltage and trigger a fire in the machine or
plant. A damaged device has unpredictable properties and states.
Death or serious injury could occur.
Make sure that the damaged device is not inadvertently installed and put into operation.
Label the damaged device and keep it locked away. Send off the device for immediate
repair.
If the device is subjected to low temperatures or extreme fluctuations in temperature
during transportation, for example in cold weather, moisture could build up on or inside
the device.
Moisture causes a short circuit in electrical circuits and damages the device.
In order to prevent damage to the device, proceed as follows:
• Store the device in a dry place.
• Bring the device to room temperature before starting it up.
• Do not expose the device to direct heat radiation from a heating device.
• If condensation develops, wait approximately 12 hours or until the device is
completely dry before switching it on.
7. Please keep the enclosed documentation in a safe place. It belongs to the device. You
need the documentation when you commission the device for the first time.
8. Write down the identification data of the device.
The device can be clearly identified with the help of this identification data in case of repairs
or theft.
Enter the identification data in the following table:

Note
The function earth cannot connect hazard live parts.
WARNING
Electric shock and risk of fire
3.3 Connecting the device
A lightning flash may enter the mains cables and data transmission cables and jump to a
person.
Death, serious injury and burns can be caused by lightning.
Take the following precautions:
• Disconnect the device from the power supply in good time when a thunderstorm is
approaching.
• Do not touch mains cables and data transmission cables during a thunderstorm.
• Keep a sufficient distance from electric cables, distributors, systems, etc.
A connected function earth discharges dangerous electrical charges from the metal
enclosure. The current flowing through the function earth when such a fault occurs triggers
an upstream protective device that disconnects the machine from the power supply.
The function earth also improves the discharge of interference generated by external power
cables, signal cables or cables for I/O modules to ground.
The connection for the function earth is labeled with the following symbol:
High voltage may be present in a defective device, which can cause fire or an electric
shock if touched. Death and serious bodily injury can result.
• Connect the device to the function earth before you put it into operation.
• The function earth terminal on the device must be connected to the function earth of the
control cabinet or system in which the device is installed.
• Never operate the device without function earth.
• If a device is defective, remove it from operation without delay and label it accordingly.

Additional information
3.3 Connecting the device
You can establish a network between the device and other computers via Industrial Ethernet.
The on-board LAN interfaces are twisted-pair TP interfaces that support data transmission
rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps.
PROFINET RT can be operated via:
● Standard Ethernet interfaces
● Implemented PROFINET Driver and valid runtime license (for further information, refer to
PROFINET Driver (http://w3.siemens.com/mcms/distributed-io/en/profinet/profinet-
driver/pages/) )
Use this software package to create, operate and configure an innovative network for Field &
Control level. Information on this can be found on the SIMATIC NET Manual Collection CD.
The software package and the documentation are not included in the product package.
