2.1 Intended use
The Ethernet/IP-IO-Link master serves as decentralized I/O
and IO-Link Block for connection to an Ethernet/IP fieldbus
and is intended for use in industrial applications.
The module may only be operated with an approved
power supply. Only approved lines may be connected.
Proper function according to the specifications in the
technical data is only assured when the product is used
solely as described in the user’s guide and the respective
documents as well as in compliance with the technical
specifications and requirements and only with suitable
original Balluff accessories.
Otherwise, there is deemed to be unintended use.
Unintended use is not permitted and will result in the loss
of warranty and liability claims against the manufacturer.
2.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The product is not intended for the following applications
and areas and may not be used there:
– In safety-oriented applications in which personal safety
depends on the device function
– In explosive atmospheres
– In food applications
2.3 General safety notes
Activities such as installation, connection and startup
may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Qualified personnel are persons whose technical
training, knowledge and experience as well as knowledge
of the relevant regulations allows them to assess the work
assigned to them, recognize possible hazards and take
appropriate safety measures.
The operator is responsible for ensuring that local safety
regulations are observed.
In particular, the operator must take steps to ensure that a
defect in the product will not result in hazards to persons
or equipment.
The product must not be opened, modified or changed. If
defects and unresolvable faults occur in the product, take
it out of service and secure against unauthorized use.
BNI modules generally have good chemical and oil
resistance. When used in aggressive media
(e.g.chemicals, oils, lubricants and coolants) in high
concentrations (e.g. due to low water content), the material
resistance must be checked in advance for the specific
application. In the event of failure or damage to the BNI
modules due to these kinds of aggressive media, claims
for defects are ruled out.
Hot surfaces
The housing heats up under normal operating conditions.
There is a risk of burn injuries. Avoid direct skin contact
with the surface.
