Policy And Procedures; Transport And Storage - B&R Industries Power Panel 300 User Manual

General information • Safety guidelines
• Electrostatic discharges should be avoided on the components (e.g. through charged
plastics).
• A minimum distance of 10 cm must be kept from monitors and TV sets.
• Measurement devices and equipment must be grounded.
• Measurement probes on potential-free measurement devices must be discharged on
sufficiently grounded surfaces before taking measurements.
Individual components
• ESD protective measures for individual components are thoroughly integrated at B&R
(conductive floors, footwear, arm bands, etc.).
The increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not necessary for our
customers for handling B&R products.

2.3 Policy and procedures

Electronic devices are generally not failsafe. In the event of a failure on the programmable
control system, operating or monitoring device, or uninterruptible power supply, the user is
responsible for ensuring that other devices that may be connected, e.g. motors, are in a secure
state.
Both when using programmable logic controllers and when using operating and monitoring
devices as control systems in conjunction with a soft PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or
comparable products) or a slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable products), the safety
precautions applying to industrial control systems (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as
emergency stop circuits, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and
international regulations. The same applies for all other devices connected to the system, such
as drives.
All tasks such as installation, commissioning, and maintenance are only permitted to be carried
out by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with the transport,
mounting, installation, commissioning, and operation of the product and who have the
appropriate qualifications (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident prevention guidelines must be
followed.
The safety guidelines, connection descriptions (rating plate and documentation) and limit values
listed in the technical data must be read carefully and must be observed before installation and
commissioning.

2.4 Transport and storage

During transport and storage, devices must be protected from excessive stress (mechanical
load, temperature, humidity, aggressive atmospheres, etc.).
