SMC Networks EX430-SIL1 Operation Manual page 7

Environment
•Select the proper type of protection according to the environment of operation.
IP69K protection is achieved when the following conditions are met.
(1) The units are connected properly with fieldbus cable with M12 connector and power cable with M12 (M8)
connector.
(2) Suitable mounting of each unit and manifold valve.
If using in an environment that is exposed to water splashes, please take measures such as using a cover.
•Do not use in a place where the product could be splashed by oil or chemicals.
If the product is to be used in an environment containing oils or chemicals such as coolant or cleaning solvent, even
for a short time, it may be adversely affected (damage, malfunction etc.).
•Do not use the product in an environment where corrosive gases or fluids could be splashed.
Otherwise damage to the product and malfunction can result.
•Do not use in an area where surges are generated.
If there is equipment which generates a large amount of surge (solenoid type lifter, high frequency induction furnace,
motor, etc.) close to the fieldbus system, this may cause deterioration or breakage of the internal circuit of the
fieldbus system. Avoid sources of surge generation and crossed lines.
•When a surge-generating load such as a relay or solenoid is driven directly, use an fieldbus system with
a built-in surge absorbing element.
Direct drive of a load generating surge voltage can damage the fieldbus system.
•The product is CE marked, but not immune to lightning strikes. Take measures against lightning strikes
in the system.
•Prevent foreign matter such as remnant of wires from entering the fieldbus system to avoid failure and
malfunction.
•Mount the product in a place that is not exposed to vibration or impact.
Otherwise failure or malfunction can result.
•Do not use the product in an environment that is exposed to temperature cycle.
Heat cycles other than ordinary changes in temperature can adversely affect the inside of the product.
•Do not expose the product to direct sunlight.
If using in a location directly exposed to sunlight, shade the product from the sunlight.
Otherwise failure or malfunction can result.
•Keep within the specified ambient temperature range.
Otherwise malfunction can result.
•Do not operate close to a heat source, or in a location exposed to radiant heat.
Otherwise malfunction can result.
Adjustment and Operation
•Perform settings suitable for the operating conditions.
Incorrect setting can cause operation failure.
•Please refer to the PLC manufacturer's manual etc. for details of programming and addresses.
For the PLC protocol and programming refer to the relevant manufacturer's documentation.
•The surface on the product may be hot.
