3.5 Information on I/O devices
Fault caused by I/O devices
The connection of I/O devices can cause faults in the device.
The result may be personal injury and damage to the machine or plant.
• Only connect I/O devices which are approved for industrial applications in accordance
with EN 61000-6-2 and IEC 61000-6-2.
• I/O devices that are not hotplug-capable may only be connected after the device has
been disconnected from the power supply.
Damage through regenerative feedback
Regenerative feedback of voltage to ground by a connected or installed component can
damage the device.
Connected or built-in I/Os, for example, a USB drive, are not permitted to supply any voltage
to the device.
Regenerative feedback is generally not permitted.
When measuring the counter emf, remember the
following:
The computer in question must be turned off and the power supply connector must be
plugged in.
During the measurement, all cables from the plant to the computer should be connected.
All other components in the plant must be active.
3.6 Safety notices for WLAN and Bluetooth operation
• The radio waves necessary for WLAN and Bluetooth can cause interference in hearing aids
(unpleasant buzzing) and in the onboard electronics of vehicles. To prevent interference,
switch off the device in aircraft, or when driving a vehicle.
• Radio waves caused by WLAN and Bluetooth may lead to malfunctioning of life-support
systems. Switch off the WLAN and Bluetooth function if you are in the proximity of such
systems, e.g. hospitals, medical electronic systems.
• The range of the wireless connection and the achievable data transmission rate depend on
the ambient and environmental conditions.
