Safety instructions and further information

The general safety instructions in the "SIMATIC HMI Industrial Flat Panels IFP, IFP PRO, IFP
ETH" operating instructions apply to all devices with a capacitive multi-touch screen and
Ethernet monitors.
2.1

Intended use

The SIMATIC INOX HMI device with glass front is designed to be used for high-performance
visualization tasks (operator control and monitoring) and in ambient conditions such as those
found in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
The devices are generally designed for use in open processes (according to DIN EN 1672-2)
and are primarily intended for use in splash zones. In addition, the touch HMI devices can be
used for indirect contact with acidic, alcoholic or dry food. Indirect contact means alternating
contact of the device and food in the process by the operating personnel.
Any use that deviates from this intended use is prohibited. Also see the information in the
section "Cleaning and maintenance (Page 27)".
Particular attention has been paid during design of the HMI devices to ensure that the front
panel is easy to clean and can be disinfected when needed. The devices with stainless steel
front have therefore been developed according to DIN EN 1672-2 "Food Processing
Machinery - Safety and Hygiene Requirements".

General safety instructions

Installation according to the instructions
The device may only be used in machines which comply with the Machinery Directive
The "Machinery Directive" governs, among other things, the precautions to be taken when
commissioning and operating machines within the European Economic Area.
Failure to follow these precautions is a breach of the Machinery Directive. Such failure may
also cause personal injury and damage depending on the machine operated.
The machine in which the HMI device is to be operated must conform to Directive
2006/42/EC.
