911379211
The samosPRO gateways can only be operated in conjunction with a samosPRO safety control-
ler. The firmware version of the connected controller modules must be at least V1.0.0 and the
version of the samosPLAN5+ configuration software must be at least 1.0.0.
The samosPRO gateways do not have their own power supply.
Do not operate a samosPRO gateway on a safety field bus!
The gateway modules are not suitable for operation with a safety field bus!
They do not only generate safety-
related field bus data (state bytes) for control and diagnostic
purposes. They do not support any safety mechanisms that would be required for communi-
cation within a safety network.
ATTENTION
Do not use data from a samosPRO gateway for safety-related applications!
The samosPRO gateways can be used to integrate non-safety-related data into the logic edi-
tor in such a way that the safety function of the samosPRO system may be adversely affec-
ted.
• Never integrate a gateway into a samosPRO system without having this source or risk
checked by a safety specialist.
These modules may only be operated by qualified staff and may only be used on a machine on
which they have been installed and commissioned for the first time by a qualified person in ac-
cordance with this manual.
The safety instructions and precautions for use of samosPRO gateways must be adhered
to!
In the event of any other use or any changes to the device – including within the scope of
installation – this shall nullify any warranty claim with respect to Wieland Electric GmbH.
• Please follow the standards and guidelines valid in your country when installing and ope-
rating the samosPRO gateways.
• The national/international legal regulations apply to the installation and use of the modu-
lar samosPRO safety controls as well as for the commissioning and repeated technical
testing, particularly the following:
– EMC Directive 2004/108/EC,
– the Use of Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EC,
– the accident prevention / safety regulations.
• The manual must be provided to the operator of the machine on which the samosPRO-
system is to be used. The machine operator must be trained by qualified persons and is
required to read this manual.
