General information • Safety guidelines
8 Automation Panel 9x3 user's manual V1.16
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
…are 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 are only permitted to 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.
•Measuring instruments and equipment must be grounded.
•Probes on potential-free measuring instruments must be discharged on sufficiently grounded surfaces be-
fore 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 failsafe. 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
Chapter 1
General information
Automation Panel 9x3 user's manual V1.16 9
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 (type plate 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,
moisture, corrosive atmospheres, etc.).
2.5 Installation
•These devices are not ready for use upon delivery and must be installed and wired according to the spec-
ifications in this documentation in order for the EMC limit values to apply.
•Installation must be performed according to this documentation using suitable equipment and tools.
•Devices are only permitted to 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 in accordance with 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 and monitoring devices, and uninterruptible power supplies,
certain components must carry dangerous voltage levels. 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 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, moisture, corrosive 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 corrosive gases can also lead to malfunctions. When combined with high temperature and hu-
midity, corrosive 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 corrosive gases are blackened copper
surfaces and cable ends on existing equipment.
For operation in dusty or moist 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 moisture 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.

Smart Display Link 3 (SDL3) technology is used to transfer data from all communication channels between a B&R
Industrial PC and a panel up to 100 m over a standard Ethernet cable. A male RJ45 connector designed for tight
spaces such as feed-throughs and swing arm systems is used to connect to the device.
2.1.3.1 SDL3 mode with SDL3 transmitter
SDL3 mode with an SDL3 transmitter in the B&R Industrial PC allows all communication between the Automation
Panel and the PC to be handled using a single SDL3 cable.
It is used to transfer not just display data, but touch screen, matrix key, LED, service and diagnostic data as well.
The Automation Panel can be installed up to 100 m from the B&R Industrial PC. USB 2.0 is fully integrated in SDL3

•B&R Industrial PC with SDL3 interface
•SDL3 cable
2.1.3.2 Special considerations, limitations
•The USB 2.0 transfer rate is limited to 30 Mbit/s with SDL3.
•The SDL3 transmitter continuously emulates a display using EDID data and hot plugging code, which allows
DVI-compatible operation. This can lead to improperly displayed images during operation with multiple
displays. In Windows, a connected panel is detected by the graphics driver even in the following situation:
°No cable is connected.
°A connection has not yet been established between the SDL3 link module and the SDL3 transmitter.
It is possible to correct these improperly displayed images by configuring BIOS or the graphics driver
accordingly.
