4.1 General Rules and Regulations for Operating the S7-400
General Basic Rules
On account of the many possible applications of the S7-400, this chapter can only
cover the basic rules for the electrical configuration. You must at least comply with
these basic rules to ensure fault-free operation of the S7-400. The M7-400
modules operate similarly to the S7-400 modules. Differences in operation or data
can be found at the appropriate point or in Section 8.3 “Electrical Configuration.”
Specific Application
Observe the safety and accident prevention regulations applying to specific
applications, for example, the Machine Protection Guidelines.
EMERGENCY OFF Devices
EMERGENCY OFF devices complying with IEC 204 (which corresponds to
VDE 113) must remain effective in all operating modes of the plant or system.
