Automation Panel 9x3 User's Manual V1.00 7
2 Safety guidelines
2.1 Intended use
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs), operating/monitoring devices (industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Pan-
els, etc.), and B&R uninterruptible power supplies have been designed, developed and manufactured for conven-
tional use in industrial environments. They were not designed, developed and manufactured for any use involving
serious risks or hazards that could lead to death, injury, serious physical damage or loss of any kind without the
implementation of exceptionally stringent safety precautions. In particular, such risks and hazards include the use
of these devices to monitor nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants, their use in flight control or flight safety sys-
tems as well as in the control of mass transportation systems, medical life support systems or weapons systems.
2.2 Protection against electrostatic discharge
Electrical components that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be handled accordingly.
2.2.1 Packaging
•Electrical components with a housing
...Do not require special ESD packaging but must be handled properly (see "Electrical components with
a housing").
•Electrical components without a housing
…Must be protected by ESD-suitable packaging.
2.2.2 Guidelines for proper ESD handling
Electrical components with a housing
•Do not touch the connector contacts on connected cables.
•Do not touch the contact tips on circuit boards.
Electrical components without a housing
The following applies in addition to the points listed under "Electrical components with a housing":
•Any persons handling electrical components or devices with installed electrical components must be
grounded.
•Components may only be touched on their narrow sides or front plate.
•Components should always be stored in a suitable medium (ESD packaging, conductive foam, etc.). Metal-
lic surfaces are not suitable storage surfaces!
•Components should not be subjected to electrostatic discharge (e.g. through the use of charged plastics).
•Ensure a minimum distance of 10 cm from monitors and TV sets.
•Measurement devices and equipment must be grounded.
•Measurement probes on potential-free measurement devices must be discharged on sufficiently grounded
surfaces before taking measurements.
Individual components
•ESD protective measures for individual components are thoroughly integrated at B&R (conductive floors,
footwear, arm bands, etc.).
•These increased ESD protective measures for individual components are not necessary for customers
handling B&R products.
2.3 Policies and procedures
Electronic devices are never completely fail-safe. If the programmable control system, operating/monitoring device
or uninterruptible power supply fails, the user is responsible for ensuring that other connected devices, e.g. motors,
are brought to a secure state.

General information • Safety guidelines
8 Automation Panel 9x3 User's Manual V1.00
When using programmable logic controllers or operating/monitoring devices as control systems together with a Soft
PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or comparable product) or Slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable product),
safety precautions relevant to industrial control systems (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as emergency
stop circuits, etc.) must be observed in accordance with applicable national and international regulations. The same
applies for all other devices connected to the system, such as drives.
All tasks such as the installation, commissioning and servicing of devices are only permitted to be carried out by
qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those familiar with the transport, mounting, installation, commissioning
and operation of devices who also have the appropriate qualifications (e.g. IEC 60364). National accident preven-
tion regulations must be observed.
The safety notices, connection descriptions (nameplate and documentation) and limit values listed in the technical
data are to be read carefully before installation and commissioning and must be observed.
2.4 Transport and storage
During transport and storage, devices must be protected against undue stress (mechanical loads, temperature,
humidity, aggressive atmospheres, etc.).
2.5 Installation
•Installation must be performed according to this documentation using suitable equipment and tools.
•Devices may only be installed by qualified personnel without voltage applied. Before installation, voltage
to the control cabinet must be switched off and prevented from being switched on again.
•General safety guidelines and national accident prevention regulations must be observed.
•Electrical installation must be carried out according to applicable guidelines (e.g. line cross sections, fuses,
protective ground connections).
2.6 Operation
2.6.1 Protection against touching electrical parts
To operate programmable logic controllers, operating/monitoring devices or uninterruptible power supplies, it is
necessary for certain parts to carry dangerous voltage levels over 42 VDC. Touching one of these parts can result
in a life-threatening electric shock. This could lead to death, severe injury or damage to equipment.
Before turning on the programmable logic controller, operating/monitoring devices or the uninterruptible power
supply, the housing must be properly grounded (PE rail). Ground connections must be established even when
testing or operating operating/monitoring devices or the uninterruptible power supply for a short time!
Before turning the device on, all parts that carry voltage must be securely covered. During operation, all covers
must remain closed.
2.6.2 Environmental conditions - Dust, humidity, aggressive gases
The use of operating/monitoring devices (e.g. industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Panels, etc.) and uninterruptible
power supplies in very dusty environments should be avoided. Dust collection on the devices can affect functionality
and may prevent sufficient cooling, especially in systems with active cooling systems (fans).
The presence of aggressive gases can also lead to malfunctions. When combined with high temperature and
humidity, aggressive gases – e.g. with sulfur, nitrogen and chlorine components – can induce chemical reactions
that can damage electronic components very quickly. Signs of the presence of aggressive gases are blackened
copper surfaces and cable ends on existing equipment.
For operation in dusty or humid conditions, correctly installed (e.g. cutout installations) operating/monitoring devices
like the Automation Panel or Power Panel are protected on the front. The back of all devices must be protected
from dust and humidity and cleaned at suitable intervals.
2.6.3 Viruses and dangerous programs
This system is subject to potential risk each time data is exchanged or software is installed from a data medium
(e.g. diskette, CD-ROM, USB flash drive, etc.), a network connection or the Internet. The user is responsible for
assessing these dangers, implementing preventive measures such as virus protection programs, firewalls, etc. and
making sure that software is only obtained from trusted sources.

2.7 Environmentally friendly disposal
All B&R programmable controllers, operating/monitoring devices and uninterruptible power supplies are designed
to inflict as little harm as possible on the environment.
2.7.1 Separation of materials
It is necessary to separate different materials so the device can undergo an environmentally friendly recycling
process.

In SDL operating mode 2, communication between the Automation Panel and the B&R Industrial PC takes place
using an SDL cable connected to the Panel In interface and a USB type B cable connected to the USB In interface.
Data from the display, resistive touch screen, matrix keys and service/diagnostic data is transferred via the SDL
cable. Multi-touch touch screen data is transferred over the USB cable. The Automation Panel can be installed up
to 5 m (USB specification) away from the B&R Industrial PC. This distance allows USB 2.0 data to be transferred
over the USB cable. External modules are not necessary.
The brightness of the display can be configured using the ADI Control Center.
