General safety instructions
Danger to life if the safety instructions and residual risks are not observed
If the safety instructions and residual risks in the associated hardware documentation are not observed, accidents involving
severe injuries or death can occur.
• Observe the safety instructions given in the hardware documentation.
• Consider the residual risks for the risk evaluation.
Danger to life or malfunctions of the machine as a result of incorrect or changed parameterization
As a result of incorrect or changed parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn can lead to injuries or death.
• Protect the parameterization (parameter assignments) against unauthorized access.
• Respond to possible malfunctions by applying suitable measures (e.g. EMERGENCY STOP or EMERGENCY OFF).
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants,
solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are important components in a holistic industrial security concept.
With this in mind, Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development. Siemens recommends strongly that
you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of Siemens products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable preventive action (e.g. cell
protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party
products that may be in use should also be considered. For more information about industrial security, visit this address

your installation which can result in death, severe injuries and/or material damage.
• Keep the software up to date.
You will find relevant information and newsletters at this address (http://support.automation.siemens.com).
• Incorporate the automation and drive components into a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept for the
installation or machine.

• Make sure that you include all installed products into the holistic industrial security concept.
Danger to life due to software manipulation when using exchangeable storage media
Storing files onto exchangeable storage media amounts to an increased risk of infection, e.g. with viruses and malware. As
a result of incorrect parameterization, machines can malfunction, which in turn can lead to injuries or death.
• Protect files stored on exchangeable storage media from malicious software by taking suitable protection measures,
e.g. virus scanners.
