Safety Information

Important Information
Read these instructions carefully, and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device before trying to install, operate, service, or maintain it. The following special  messages may appear throughout this documentation or on the equipment to warn of potential hazards or to call attention to information that clarifies or simplifies a procedure.

The addition of this symbol to a “Danger” or “Warning” safety label indicates that an electrical hazard exists which will result in personal injury if the instructions are not followed.
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

DANGER
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE
NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury.

Please Note

Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.
A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of electrical equipment and its installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.

Before You Begin

Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operation guarding. Lack of effective point-of-operation guarding on a machine can result in serious injury to the operator of that machine.

WARNING
UNGUARDED EQUIPMENT

  • Do not use this software and related automation equipment on equipment which does not have point-of-operation protection.
  • Do not reach into machinery during operation.
    Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of industrial processes. The type or model of automation equipment suitable for each application  will vary depending on factors such as the control function required, degree of protection required, production methods, unusual conditions, government regulations, etc. In  some applications, more than one processor may be required, as when backup redundancy is needed.
Only you, the user, machine builder or system integrator can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine and,  therefore, can determine the automation equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be properly used. When selecting automation and control equipment  and related software for a particular application, you should refer to the applicable local and national standards and regulations. The National Safety Council’s Accident  Prevention Manual (nationally recognized in the United States of America) also provides much useful information.
In some applications, such as packaging machinery, additional operator protection such as point-of-operation guarding must be provided. This is necessary if the operator’s  hands and other parts of the body are free to enter the pinch points or other hazardous areas and serious injury can occur. Software products alone cannot protect an  operator from injury. For this reason the software cannot be substituted for or take the place of point-of- operation protection.
Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-of-operation protection have been installed and are operational before placing the  equipment into service. All interlocks and safeties related to point-ofoperation protection must be coordinated with the related automation equipment and software  programming.
NOTE: Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for pointof-operation protection is outside the scope of the Function Block Library, System User Guide,  or other implementation referenced in this documentation.

Start-up and Test

Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation after installation, the system should be given a start-up test by qualified personnel to verify  correct operation of the equipment. It is important that arrangements for such a check are made and that enough time is allowed to perform complete and satisfactory testing.

EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD

  • Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed.
  • Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means used for shipment from all component devices.
  • Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
    Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Follow all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment documentation for future references.

Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments.
Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and temporary grounds that are not installed according to local regulations (according to the National Electrical  Code in the U.S.A, for instance). If high-potential voltage testing is necessary, follow recommendations in equipment documentation to prevent accidental equipment damage.

Before energizing equipment:

  • Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment.
  • Close the equipment enclosure door.
  • Remove all temporary grounds from incoming power lines.
  • Perform all start-up tests recommended by the manufacturer.

Operation and Adjustments

The following precautions are from the NEMA Standards Publication ICS 7.11995:
(In case of divergence or contradiction between any translation and the English original, the original text in the English language will prevail.)

  • Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection and ratings of components, there are hazards that can be encountered if  such equipment is improperly operated.
  • It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce unsatisfactory or unsafe operation. Always use the manufacturer’s instructions as a guide for  functional adjustments. Personnel who have access to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and the machinery used with  the electrical equipment.
  • Only those operational adjustments required by the operator should be accessible to the operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in operating characteristics.

  • You may not be able to downgrade the firmware version (even for minor revisions) if a later firmware version fixes vulnerabilities / security breaches. The previous  firmware to which a downgrade may not be possible is referred to as excluded. The EcoStruxure™ Automation Device Maintenance (EADM) tool does not verify for  excluded previous firmware versions and it returns an “403 Invalid package” error during installation if you try to downgrade to such a version.
    ** The firmware is upgraded in two steps so that the OPC UA factory configuration files are installed properly. That is, there is a need to install twice the same version  consecutively. This is due to some Default Configuration files for OPC UA which have been integrated into the installation package and requires first the upgrade of the firmware to v21.2 in order for the second step to be deployed.
    (1) You cannot upgrade from v20.2 or earlier to v21.1 because the firmware requires upgraded controller hardware.
    (2) To upgrade from v21.2 or earlier to v22.0 or later contact your local Schneider Electric service representative.
