1.3 Shipping and Storage Conditions for Modules and Backup
Batteries
Shipping and storage of modules
S7-300 modules surpass the requirements of IEC 61131-2, in respect of shipping
and storage requirements. The following details apply to modules shipped and/or
stored in their original packing.
Climatic conditions correspond to IEC 60721-3-3, Class 3K7 for storage and IEC
60721-3-2, Class 2K4 for transportation.
Mechanical conditions correspond to IEC 60721-3-2, Class 2M2.
