2 - 1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important information Problem-free and reliable operation of the D-MAXE system requires that the D-MAXE system is – properly shipped and stored, – properly mounted and placed in operation, – properly used and carefully maintained.
∙ All assembly tasks must only be performed when there is no electrical power in the system. ∙ The D-MAXE system must only be placed in operation if all components are securely assembled. ∙ Electrical connections on the modules of the D-MAXE system must only be made or disconnected when the electrical power is turned off.
Maintenance ∙ Danger of injury by crushing Maintenance work must only be performed on the D-MAXE system when the power is turned off, the machine is stopped, and it is protected against being turned back on. MI 2-296 1 D D-MAXE with OI-B/OI-N www.maxcessintl.com...
3 - 1 3 INSTALLATION Transport and storage – Modules of the D-MAXE system must be secured to prevent them from slipping during transport. – The modules must be kept cool, clean and dry. – Operator interfaces OI-B/OI-N must not be stored close to powerful magnetic fields.
– On a fixed machine part or on a wall – Not in places where there is a risk of explosions. Figure 3.1: Dimensions of the D-MAXE 1 and D-MAXE 2 controllers with assembly bracket MI 2-296 1 D D-MAXE with OI-B/OI-N...

∙ MAXNET is a proprietary protocol used for communication between D-MAXE Controllers and D-MAXE operator interfaces. ∙ The MAXNET address of the D-MAXE Controller must be different than the addresses of other controllers on the network (addresses 1 to 31).
Placeholder "y" (in the example y = A) is the job currently selected in the system. Safety instructions While the D-MAXE system is in operation, the following safety instructions must be observed. WARNING: During operation, do not touch or reach close to moving parts (rollers, web).
