Working safely
The supply connection, as well as the signal and sensor leads, must be
installed in such a way that electromagnetic interference does not adversely
affect device functionality (HBM recommendation: "Greenline shielding design",
downloadable from the Internet at http://www.hbm.com/Greenline).
Automation equipment and devices must be covered over in such a way that
adequate protection or locking against unintentional actuation is provided (e.g.
access checks, password protection, etc.).
When devices are working in a network, these networks must be designed in
such a way that malfunctions in individual nodes can be detected and shut
down.
Safety precautions must be taken both in terms of hardware and software, so
that a line break or other interruptions to signal transmission, e.g. via the bus
interfaces, do not cause undefined states or loss of data in the automation
device.
