1.6. Intended use
The device is a component of a modular automation system for industrial control applications in
the medium to high performance range.
The automation system is designed for use in overvoltage category I (IEC 364-4-443) for the con-
trol and regulation of machinery and industrial processes in low-voltage installations in accord-
ance 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 specifi-
cations (see “Technical data”).
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
specified 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
Inspection Association (TÜV), the Association of German Electrical Engineers (VDE) or rele-
vant national regulations.
The device is intended for installation in control cabinets in industrial machines and systems in in-
door areas.
For operation, refer to the applicable ambient conditions
Protect the device from condensation and moisture.
Operation
If the device has been stored or transported in cold weather or under conditions of large
fluctuations in temperature, do not start to operate it until it has acclimatised to room tem-
perature for the place in which it is used.
Wait at least 12 hours after it has reached room temperature before operating the device.

Observe the environmental conditions applicable to storage.
Protect the unit from precipitation and moisture.
Operation
After storage or transport in cold weather or with strong temperature fluctuations, do not operate
the unit until it has reached the room temperature of the place of use.
Wait at least 12 hours after dew has formed before operating the unit.
1.8. Unpacking
When receiving the unit, make sure that the delivery is undamaged and complete.
Check the packaging for external damage.
If there is serious damage to the packaging or if damage to the contents is apparent: Do not
open the packaging any further and inform the carrier and your supplier immediately.

2. Safety
2.1. Safety-related systems
The use of PLC controls in safety-related systems requires specific measures. If a PLC controller
is to be used in a safety-related system, the user must be given comprehensive advice by the
PLC manufacturer in addition to any available standards or guidelines regarding safety installa-
tions.
Before starting work on the devices, switch off all power supplies, including those of con-
nected peripherals.
Keep all ventilation openings unobstructed.
The failure of certain components in an electronic control system may result in uncontrolled and/or
unpredictable 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.
2.2. Safety instructions
The device may only be operated in a flawless condition. Exposed sharp edges pose a risk of in-
jury.
Working on the device
Do not start work on the device until all necessary safety precautions have been taken. Take pre-
cautions 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
“Customer services / addresses”).

2.3. Cyber Security
Never place the controller on the Internet without further protection mechanisms, this em-
bedded controller is not designed for this purpose.
Change the default passwords given at delivery
Always use a preceding external firewall, so that an external access is prevented
Use the security mechanisms of VPN server portals (e.g. IXON) to which the controller can
actively connect via VPN or comparable mechanisms.
Use https instead of http
Disable the services you do not need, such as (FTP/SSH/Webserver).

4.6. Product features
The B-Nimis MC-Pi is a CODESYS PLC controller with a wide range of data interfaces. The B-
Nimis BC-Pi is a Raspberry Pi OS-based mini PC with expansion options for EtherCAT modules
of the B-Nimis MC-I/O series.
Mounting
The MC-Pi or BC-Pi is designed for control cabinet installation on a DIN mounting rail in harsh in-
dustrial environments.
Processor
The basic version of the unit has a 1.5 GHz Broadcom BCM2711, Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM
v8) 64-bit SoC
Ethernet
An Ethernet interface with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s is available. The TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols en-
able a very flexible connection to visualisation software, to higher-level control units or to the IT
infrastructure.
EtherCAT
An EtherCAT extension interface with a 10-pole connection on the side is available. The interface
is compatible with Berghof modules of the MC-I/O or E-I/O series.
USB
The USB 3.2 Gen 1 host interface is a widely used peripheral interface. This enables simple data
exchange or expansion with compatible USB devices.
USB sticks with FAT/FAT32/exFAT/ext3/ext4 formatting are supported.
For support of other USB devices, please contact our technical support.
Real-time clock
A Goldcap buffered, maintenance-free real-time clock can be set to the current time via a software
interface. The buffer time is 72h.
SD card
The MC-Pi-Prime and BC-Pi-Prime are equipped with 1 x µSD card slot, e.g. for data downloads.
Display interface
The display interface is compatible with the HDMI 2.0 standard. Picture transmissions up to
4Kp60 are possible here, if supported by the display. For connection, a mini-HDMI cable is re-
quired that supports at least the HDMI 1.4 standard, with a corresponding connection for the con-
nected monitor.
