On safety
This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment users.
Please read this chapter carefully before starting to work with the safe bus node
UE3212 or with machinery protected by the safe bus node UE3212 in connection with
other safety components.
2.1

Qualified safety personnel

The safe bus node UE3212 must only be installed, commissioned and serviced by
qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons who ...
have undergone the appropriate technical training
and
have been instructed by the responsible machine owner in the operation of the machine
and the current valid safety guidelines
and
have access to the operating instructions of the safe bus node UE3212 and have read
and familiarised themselves with them
and
have access to the operating instructions for the protective devices (e.g. C4000)
connected to the safe bus node and have read and familiarised themselves with them.
2.2

Applications of the device

The safe bus node UE3212 is a decentral data entry assembly for the integration of safety
components in the safety bus system AS6Interface Safety at Work with the enclosure rating
IP 65. It acts as a slave in the AS6Interface network (AS6Interface profile S67.B.0.) for
reading safety-relevant switching states from 1- or 2-channel electromechanical switches,
e.g. emergency stop pushbuttons or safety switches. The maximum number of modules of
this type per master is 31.
The safe bus node UE3212 can be used ...
in accordance with IEC 61 508 up to SIL2
in accordance with EN 62 061 up to SILCL2
in accordance with EN ISO 13 84961 up to performance level d
in accordance with EN ISO 13 84961 up to category 3
The degree of safety actually attained depends on the external circuit, the design of the
wiring, the parameter configuration, the selection of the control switches and their
placement on the machine.
2.3

Correct use

The safe bus node UE3212 must be used only as defined in chapter 2.2 "Applications of
the device". It must be used only by qualified personnel and only on the machine or
system where it has been installed and initialised by qualified safety personnel in
accordance with these operating instructions.
If the device is used for any other purposes or modified in any way — also during mounting
and installation — any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.
