Before you start working with the Bosch Rexroth IPC / IPC300 Industrial PC,
we recommend that you thoroughly familiarize yourself with the contents of
this manual. Keep this manual in a place where it is always accessible to all
users.
1.1 Standard operation
This manual contains information required for the proper use of this product.
However, for reasons of structural clarity, the manual cannot provide ex-
haustive details regarding all available combinations of functional options.
Similarly, it is not feasible to consider every conceivable integration or oper-
ating scenario within the confines of this manual.
The described industrial PCs serve as operating and visualization units
for Bosch Rexroth proprietary application software running on Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0 operating systems. They are intended as control platforms
for testing, adjustment and assembly station applications.
While it is possible in principle to operate other proprietary operating sys-
tems or application software on the industrial PCs, the occurrence of unex-
pected effects, even with Bosch Rexroth applications, cannot be entirely
ruled out. With this type of nonstandard operation, Bosch Rexroth shall not
assume any liability for either hardware and/or software.
