Special information
NOTE
Important note for maintaining the operational safety of your plant
Plants with safety-related features are subject to special operational safety requirements on
the part of the operator. The supplier is also obliged to comply with special product
monitoring measures. For this reason, we inform you in personal notifications about product
developments and features that are (or could be) relevant to the operation of plants from a
safety perspective.
By subscribing to the corresponding notifications, you will ensure that you are always up-to-
date and able to make changes to your system when necessary.
