PA 9000 Micro CNC control Safety DANGER! Uncontrolled operation due to improper instal- lation and configuration! The control unit's safety relay must be properly integrated into the CNC machine emergency stop chain. Improper wiring and configuration of the safety relay may result in uncontrolled operation of the CNC machine and in consequence may lead to irreversible personal injuries or death.
PA 9000 Micro CNC control Safety 2.7 Safety devices Safety DANGER! Malfunctioning safety devices may pose a fatal risk! Safety devices must be intact and properly inte- grated into the control unit's configuration and soft- ware in order to guarantee safety. Before initial commissioning of the machine, ensure that all safety devices are fully functional and correctly installed.
PA 9000 Micro CNC control Safety In Case Of Accidents Disconnect power supply immediately. Initiate first aid measures. Inform responsible persons at the site. Call for rescue service if applicable. 2.10 Data safety General Information To ensure the ability to restore critical data in case of control unit or storage malfunctions, internal and external (off-site) backup copies of all files that are critical to proper machine function must be cre- ated regularly and kept in a secure environment.
2.10.2 System protection Initial State Automated regular anti-virus scanning and manual scanning of files copied to the control unit are advised by Power Automation as needed. To protect the system against virus attacs or other system failures, it is recommended to take the following measures: Either don't connect the CNC to the Internet or assure it is con- nected via a managed firewall.
For various reasons it may become necessary to re-install or to repair the operating system (Windows 7 Embedded) of the control unit. Power Automation offers a Recovery Stick which is necessary for re-installation or repair. for more information about this Recovery Stick please look into the PA Accessories Manual.
