B ESD Guidelines

B.1 B.1 ESD Guidelines

What does ESD mean?

All electronic modules are equipped with highly integrated modules or components. Based on their design, these electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to discharge of static electricity.

The electrostatic sensitive components/modules are commonly referred to as ESD devices. You can also find the commonly used international designation ESD for electrostatic sensitive device.

Electrostatic sensitive modules are identified by the following symbol:

Caution Electrostatic sensitive devices may be destroyed by voltages and energies that are

undetectable to a human. Voltages of this kind occur as soon as a component or an assembly is touched by a person who is not grounded against static electricity. The damage to a module as a result of overvoltage cannot usually be detected immediately. It may only become apparent after a long period of operation.

ESD Guidelines B.1 ESD Guidelines

SIMATIC Rack PC IL 43

B-2 Operating Instructions, Edition 09/2005, A5E00432875-01

Electrical charge

Anyone who is not connected to the electrical potential of their surroundings can be electrostatically charged.

The figure below shows the maximum electrostatic voltages that can accumulate in a person who is operating equipment when he/she comes into contact with the materials indicated. These values correspond with specifications to IEC 801-2.

Figure B-1 Electrostatic voltages on an operator

Basic protective measures against discharge of static electricity

• Ensure good equipotential bonding: When handling electrostatic sensitive devices, ensure that your body, the workplace and packaging are grounded. This helps you avoid static charge.

• Avoid Direct Contact As a general rule, only touch electrostatic sensitive devices when this is unavoidable (e.g. during maintenance work). When you touch modules, make sure that you do not touch either the pins on the modules or the printed conductors. This prevents any discharge of static electricity to sensitive component and thus avoids damage.

Discharge electrostatic energy from your body before you perform measurements on a module. To do so, touch a grounded metallic object. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

The configuration of a programming device contains information on hardware and device options, such as memory configuration, drive types, monitor, network address, etc. The data are stored in a configuration file and enable the operating system to load the correct device drivers and configure the correct device parameters. . If changes are made to the hardware configuration, the user can change entries in the configuration file using the SETUP program. .

Disc-at-once

With this burning technique, data are written to a CD in a single session, and the CD is then closed. Further write access is then no longer possible.

Drivers

Program parts of the operating system. They adapt user program data to the specific formats required by I/O devices such as hard disk, printers, and monitors.

Drop-down menu

In programs supported by GUI, a menu bar is found on the top margin of the screen. The menu titles contained in this line can be set either as drop-down or pull-down menus. Dropdown menus “roll” down as soon as the mouse pointer passes over a menu title. Pull-down menus only “roll” down when the menu title is clicked on. Functions can then be selected from the menus by moving the mouse cursor or by clicking a menu item.

EMC Guidelines

Directive concerning Electromagnetic Compatibility.

Energy management

The energy management functions of a modern PC allow individual control over the current consumption of vital computer components (e.g. of the monitor, hard disk and CPU), by restricting their activity based on the current system or component load. Energy management is of particular importance for mobile PCs.

Energy options

The energy options can be used to reduce energy consumption of the computer, while keeping it ready for immediate use. This can be configured in Windows by selecting Settings > Control Panel > Energy options.

ESD Guidelines

Directive for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

Ethernet

Local network (bus structure) for text and data communication with a transfer rate of 10 Mbps.

Formatting

Basic partitioning of memory space on a magnetic data carrier into track and segments. Formatting deletes all data on a data carrier. All data carriers must be formatted prior to their first use.

Gender changer

Using the gender changer (25-pin / 25-pin), the COM1/V24/AG port of the SIMATIC PC family can be converted to the usual 25-pin male connector.

Hard disks

Hard disks represent a form of magnetic disk storage medium (Winchester drives, hard disks) with integrated magnetic disks.

Hub

A term in network technology. In a network, a device joining communication lines at a central location, providing a common connection to all devices on the network.

Image

This is refers to the image, for example, of hard disk partitions saved to a file in order to restore them when necessary.

Interface

see Interface

Interface, MPI

MPI is the programming interface of SIMATIC S7/M7. Allows central access to programmable modules, text-based displays and OPs. The MPI nodes can intercommunicate.

Interface, parallel

Information is transmitted byte for byte via a parallel interface (port). This means that the transmission rate is very fast. The PGs/PCs have one parallel interface (LPT1).

Interfaces

The connection between individual hardware elements such as PLCs, programming devices, printers or monitors via physical connections (cables).
