Intended use
Bus coupler: The bus coupler connects I/O modules and valves to
a fieldbus system. It may only be used for the protocol that is listed
in the imprinted PLC configuration key (
may only be connected to valves from the AV series and
I/O modules from the AES series.
I/O module: I/O modules serve to connect electrical equipment
such as sensors or valves. The I/O module may only be connected
to devices from the AES series.
All modules: The modules are intended for professional use only.
The modules may only be used for industrial applications (class A).
An individual license must be obtained from the authorities or an
inspection center for systems that are to be used in a residential
area (residential, business, and commercial areas). In Germany,
these individual licenses are issued by the Regulating Agency for
Telecommunications and Post (Regulierungsbehörde für
Telekommunikation und Post, Reg TP).
The product may be used in safety-related control chains if the
entire system is geared toward this purpose.
Intended use includes having read and understood this
documentation, especially the chapter "Safety Instructions".
Use in explosive areas
Neither the bus coupler nor the I/O modules are ATEX-certified.
ATEX certification can only be granted to complete valve systems.
Valve systems may only be operated in explosive atmospheres if
the valve system has an ATEX identification!
O
Always observe the technical data and limits indicated on the
rating plate for the complete unit, particularly the data from the
ATEX identification.
ATEX identification
The module does not have a separate ATEX identification.
