General safety notes

Observe the country-specific installation, safety, and accident prevention regulations.
During startup and maintenance work, proceed in accordance with the five safety rules of
DIN EN 50110-1. In general, the rules should be observed in the specified order:
– Disconnect safely
– Ensure power cannot be switched on again
– Verify safe isolation from the supply
– Ground and short circuit
– Cover or safeguard adjacent live parts
Once the work is complete, perform the above steps again in reverse order.
NOTE:
The IP20 degree of protection (IEC 60529/EN 60529) of the device is intended for a clean
and dry environment. Do not subject the device to mechanical and/or thermal loads that
exceed the specified limits.
NOTE: Risk of unauthorized network access
Connecting devices to a network via Ethernet always entails the risk of unauthorized ac-
cess to the network.
Please check your application for any option of deactivating active communication chan-
nels (for instance SNMP, FTP, BootP, DCP, etc.), or setting passwords to prevent third
parties from unauthorizedly accessing the controller and modifying the system.
With regard to the controller's communication interfaces, we recommend not to use the
controller in safety-critical applications unless using additional security devices.
So, please take additional protective measures according to the IT security requirements
and the standards applicable to your application (for instance virtual networks (VPN) for
remote maintenance access, firewalls, etc.) for protection against unauthorized network
access.
For the protection of networks for remote maintenance via VPN, Phoenix Contact offers
the mGuard product series security devices which you can find described in the latest
Phoenix Contact catalog (phoenixcontact.net/products).
