1.6. Intended use
The devices are components of the CANtrol modular automation system based on CAN bus for indus-
trial control applications in the medium to high performance range. It extends the communication op-
tions with EtherCAT, Profinet or Modbus for example.
The automation system is designed for use in overvoltage category I (IEC 364-4-443) for the control
and regulation of machinery and industrial processes in low-voltage installations in accordance with the
following basic conditions:
→Maximum rated supply voltage of 1,000 V AC (50/60 Hz) or 1,500 V DC
→For use in an environment with max. category 2 level of pollution (EN 60950)
→For use in a maximum altitude of 2,000 m a.s.l.
→For indoor use in areas not exposed to direct UV radiation
→Max. ambient temperature inside and outside the control cabinet according to the technical spec-
ifications (see “Technical data”).
→Not for use in residential areas (270011500 only)
The B-Fortis CC-Slim is not designed for use in residential areas and is unable to guarantee ade-
quate protection of radio reception in such environments.
Correct and safe operation of the automation system requires qualified project planning, proper
transport, storage, installation and use as well as careful maintenance.
The automation system may only be used within the scope of the information and applications speci-
fied in this documentation and associated user handbooks.
The automation system must only be used as follows:
As intended
In technically perfect condition
Without unauthorised modifications
By qualified users only
Observe the rules of the employers' liability insurance association, the German Technical Inspec-
tion Association (TÜV), the Association of German Electrical Engineers (VDE) or relevant na-
tional regulations.
The device is intended for installation in a suitable installation cut-out in industrial machines and sys-
tems in indoor areas.
During installation, make sure that the existing seal profiles are undamaged.
For operation, refer to the applicable ambient conditions (see “Technical data”).

peripherals.
Keep all ventilation openings unobstructed.
The failure of certain components in an electronic control system may result in uncontrolled and/or un-
predictable operational behaviour.
All types of failure must be considered at the system level and the associated preventative
measures identified.
If necessary, request information from your automation system provider.
2.1. Safety instructions
The device may only be operated in a flawless condition. Exposed sharp edges pose a risk of injury.
If you detect damage to the front glass of the device, stop operating the device and immediately
disconnect it from the power supply.

tions to avoid unforeseeable functional events and movements of the system.
Bring the system into a safe state.
Switch the system and the device off.
Secure the system against being switched on again.
Disconnect the device from the system.
Do not open the device housing.
If it is necessary to work on internal parts of the device, contact the manufacturer (see
“Addresses”).
