configuration software SYCON.net a license is required.
Licenses will be required if the PC Card cifX is used with
•a firmware with master functionality*.
* The master license includes the PC Card cifX operating as master and
the license for the configuration software SYCON.net for the respective
cifX.
1.3.1 License Note about VARAN Client
In order to use the PC Card cifX with VARAN, you need a license which
you can acquire at the VNO (VARAN Bus-Nutzerorganisation, Bürmooser
Straße 10, A-5112 Lamprechtshausen, [email protected]) after getting a
member of VON.
The license as well as the Vendor ID and the Device ID can be adjusted

1.7 Important Changes
All current version information for hardware and software described in this
manual are provided in the folder \Documentation\What's New -
Communication Solutions DVD RL XX EN.pdf on the Communication
Solutions DVD.
1.7.1 PROFINET IO Device Firmware Versions 2.1 und 3.4
The PROFINET IO Device firmware was revised and expanded and is
available in version 3.4.x.x since June 2010. The PROFINET IO Device
firmware V3.4.x.x compared to V2.1.x.x has the following main changes:
•IRT (Class 3 synchronized) is supported (only for netX 100/500)
•ChannelInit is also supported now (V2.1.x.x supports only SystemReset)
•The API was revised and is only compatible regarding cyclic data
exchange.
If you want to change to V3.4.x.x, then you can read in the PROFINET IO
Device Migration Guide which changes are necessary in the application
program to use version 3.4.x.x.
SYCON.net V1.210.x.x and V1.300.x.x can configure PROFINET IO Device
Firmware V2.1.x.x as well as V3.4.x.x.
The development of the PROFINET IO Device firmware V2.1.x.x will not be
continued and delivered.
On the Communication Solutions DVD are both versions V3.4.x.x and
V2.1.x.x available in the directory firmware.

2.4 Safety Instructions to avoid Personal Injury
To ensure your own personal safety and to avoid personal injury, you
necessarily must read, understand and follow the following safety
instructions and safety messages in this manual about danger causing
personal injury, before you install and operate your PC card cifX.
2.4.1 Electrical Shock Hazard
The danger of a lethal electrical shock caused by parts with more than 50V
may occur if you open the PC cabinet to install the PC Card cifX.
•HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE is present inside of the PC or of the connec-
ting device, into which the PC Card cifX is integrated. Strictly obey to all
safety rules provided by the device’s manufacturer in the documentation!
•First disconnect the power plug of the PC or of the connecting device,
before you open the cabinet.
•Make sure, that the power supply is off at the PC or at the connecting
device.
•Open the PC cabinet and install or remove the PC Card cifX only after
disconnecting power.
An electrical shock is the result of a current flowing through the human
body. The resulting effect depends on the intensity and duration of the
current and on its path through the body. Currents in the range of
approximately ½ mA can cause effects in persons with good health, and
indirectly cause injuries resulting from startle responses. Higher currents
can cause more direct effects, such as burns, muscle spasms, or
ventricular fibrillation.
In dry conditions permanent voltages up to approximately 42.4 V peak or
60 V are not considered as dangerous if the contact area is equivalent to
the size of a human hand.

2.5 Safety Instructions to avoid Property Damage
To avoid property damage respectively device destruction to the PC card
cifX and to your system, you necessarily must read, understand and follow
the following safety instructions and safety messages in this manual about
danger causing property damage, before you install and operate your PC
card.
2.5.1 Device Destruction by exceeding allowed Supply Voltage
To avoid device destruction due to high supply voltage to your PC Card
cifX, you must observe the following instructions. These instructions apply
to all PC Cards cifX described in this manual.
The PC Card cifX may only be operated with the specified supply voltage.
Make sure that the limits of the allowed range for the supply voltage are not
exceeded. A supply voltage above the upper limit can cause severe
damage to the PC Card cifX! A supply voltage below the lower limit can
cause malfunction in the PC Card cifX. The allowed range for the supply
voltage is defined by the tolerances specified in this manual.
For the PC cards listed hereafter adhere specifically: The PC Card cifX
•CIFX 50-RE

may not be powered by a 5V supply voltage! The PC Card cifX may only be
powered by a 3.3 V ±5 % supply voltage.
The data on the mandatory supply voltage for the PC Cards cifX described
in this manual you find in the Supply Voltage and Signaling Voltage on
page 27. There the required and permitted supply voltage is provided by
device type inclusively the permitted tolerance range.
