APV_CU4plus_AS-interface_UK-3_062019.indd Safety Instructions 2.4. Welding instructions It is generally recommended to avoid welding work in process installation in which control units are installed and connected. If welding is nonetheless required, earthing of the electrical devices in the welding area is a necessity. 2.5.
APV_CU4plus_AS-interface_UK-3_062019.indd Safety Instructions 2.7. Important safety instructions for AS-interface networks Aside from complying with the Installation Guidelines according to AS-i Specification, observe the following instructions! 2.7.1 Earthing The PE connection of the AS-i power supply (protective earth) must (if existent) be grounded. The symmetry point of the AS-i network (GND, ground, shield) must be connected with the plant ground).
