Safety 14/98
3.4 Safety messages
3.4.1 Hazardous voltage, electric shock
Danger to life or risk of injury by electric shock may occur if you open the
housing of your PC (or connection device) to install your PC card.
·Hazardous voltages are present in the PC (or connection device) for
mounting. Always read and observe the safety instructions of the PC
manufacturer before installation.
·First disconnect the power plug of the PC (or connection device), before
opening the housing.
·Make sure that the power supply is off at the PC (or connection device).
·Only then open the housing and install or remove the PC card.
3.4.2 Personal injury, device damage due to hot swap/hot plug
The PC card is not designed or intended for a hot-swap or hot-plug
connection. Performing hot-swap or hot-plug may pose a hazard to the PC
card, the system platform and the person performing the action.

Safety 15/98
3.5 Property damage
3.5.1 Excessive supply voltage
The PC card may only be operated with the prescribed supply voltage,
which corresponds to the tolerances specified in this manual. The limits of
the permitted range must not be exceeded.
Device damage, malfunctions
·If the supply voltage is above the specified upper limit, this can lead to
serious damage to the PC card!
·If the supply voltage is below the specified lower limit, malfunctions of
the PC card may occur.
3.5.2 Excessive signaling voltage
All I/O signal pins on the PC card tolerate only the specified signal voltage,
as specified in this manual.
Device destruction
Operating your PC card at a signal voltage that exceeds the specified
signal voltage can cause serious damage to the PC card!
3.5.3 Electrostatic sensitive devices
This equipment is sensitive to electrostatic discharge which cause internal
damage and affect normal operation. Therefore adhere to the necessary
safety precautions for components that are vulnerable with electrostatic
discharge if you install or replace your device. Follow the guidelines listed
hereafter when you handle this equipment:
·Touch a grounded object to discharge potential static.
·Wear an approved grounding wriststrap.
·Do not touch connectors or pins on the PC card.
·Do not touch circuit components inside the equipment.
·If available, use a static-safe workstation.
·When not in use, store the equipment in appropriate static-safe
packaging.

Safety 16/98
3.5.4 Power drop during write and delete accesses in the file system
The FAT file system in the netX firmware is subject to certain limitations in
its operation. Write and delete accesses in the file system (firmware
update, configuration download etc.) can destroy the FAT (File Allocation
Table) if the accesses cannot be completed if the power drops. Without a
proper FAT, a firmware may not be found and cannot be started.
ØMake sure that the power supply of the device does not drop during
write and delete accesses in the file system (firmware update,
configuration download etc.).
3.5.5 Exceeding the maximum number of permitted write and delete
accesses
This device uses a serial flash chip to store remanent data such as
firmware storage, configuration storage, etc. This device allows a maximum
of 100,000 write/delete accesses that are sufficient for standard operation
of the device. However, writing/deleting the chip excessively (e.g. changing
the configuration or changing the name of station) leads to the maximum
number of permitted write/delete accesses being exceeded and to device
damage. For example, if the configuration is changed once an hour, the
maximum number is reached after 11.5 years. If the configuration is
changed even more frequently, for example once a minute, the maximum
number is reached after approx. 69 days.
Avoid exceeding the maximum permitted write/delete accesses by writing
too often.
3.6 Information and data security
Take all usual measures for information and data security, in particular, for
PC cards with Ethernet technology. Hilscher explicitly points out that a
device with access to a public network (Internet) must be installed behind a
firewall or only be accessible via a secure connection such as an encrypted
VPN connection. Otherwise, the integrity of the device, its data, the
application or system section is not safeguarded.
Hilscher cannot assume any warranty or liability for damage due to
neglected security measures or incorrect installation.

Comments:
(1) Required or permissible supply voltage
(2) Typical current consumption at 3.3 V. The typical current consumption
depends on the type of PC card. To ensure compatibility between different
systems, it is recommended to supply a maximum of 1 A (at +3.3 VDC
±5%).
(3) Required or tolerated signal voltage at the I/O signal pins on the PCIe
bus of the PC card
Host system
The basic card CIFX M3042100BM uses a netX 100 chip.
Mounting the basic card
In order to mount the basic card, the board on which the PCI Express slot is
located must have a corresponding mounting bolt for screwing the basic
card on. The dimension for positioning the mounting bolt can be taken from
the dimension drawing for the basic card provided in this manual.
Operating system
For SYCON.net for netX: Windows® 10
Component heights
·The component height on the top of the basic card CIFX M3042100BM
exceeds the height of 1.5 mm specified by the standard, because the
height of the cable connectors (Ethernet X700, or fieldbus X701),
including the cable, is approximately 8.5 mm above the circuit board.
·The component height on the bottom of the basic card CIFX
M3042100BM complies with the standard specifications.

AIFX-RE\M12: Max. permissible current per external LED
When using the Ethernet AIFX-RE\M12 detached network interface with the
requirement IP67 and the LED signals are routed via the cable connector
LED signals X3 to the mainboard or to a separate detached LED board, the
maximum current drawn per LED must not exceed 5 mA.
Note:
The outputs on the cable connector LED signals X3 can drive max.
5 mA. This means that the maximum permissible current per
external LED is 5 mA. If this maximum current is not sufficient, an
external driver is required previous to the LED.
AIFX-RE\M12: Requirements IP67
Note:
If IP 67 is requried: On the Ethernet AIFX-RE\M12 detached
network interface, remove the front LED lightpipe and route the LED
signals via the cable connector LED signals X3 to the mainboard or
a separate detached LED board.

Communication For communication of a PC card (slave), a master device is
required for the communication system used. For
communication of a PC card (master), a slave device is
required for the communication system used.
To configure the master device, you need a device
