2 Safety instructions
In this chapter you will find general safety instructions such as:
General rules
Safety instructions for mounting and installation
When are you allowed to use this device and when not?
2.1 General
No characteristics are warranted with the information, notes and examples provided in this manual.
The drawings, representations and examples imply no responsibility for the system and no application-
specific particularities.
The manufacturer of the machine/equipment is responsible for ensuring the safety of the
machine/equipment.
WARNING
Property damage or bodily injury possible when the notes in this manual are not adhered to!
ifm electronic assumes no liability for this.
►The acting person must have read and understood the safety instructions and the corresponding
chapters of this manual before performing any work on or with this device.
►The acting person must be authorised to work on the machine/equipment.
2.2 What previous knowledge is required?
This manual is intended for persons with knowledge of control technology and PLC programming with
IEC 61131-3 as well as the CoDeSys®software.
The manual is intended for persons authorised to install, connect and set up the controllereaccording
to the EMC and low voltage directives. The controllers must be installed and put into operation by a
qualified electrician.
In case of malfunctions or uncertainties please contact the manufacturer: →back of the manual

Safety instructions Warnings mounting

2.3 Warnings mounting
NOTICE
Danger by moisture, dust, shocks, overheating.
Damage or failure of the device possible!
Moisture can destroy the electronics.
►Use the device in a condensation-free environment.
Dust deposits prevent the necessary air circulation for heat dissipation.
►If possible, do not expose the device to a dusty environment. If this cannot be avoided, you must
clean the device frequently.
→ page 271, chapter Maintenance, repair and disposal.
Shocks and vibrations can damage the unit.
►Adhere to the technical specifications.
►The air circulation through the vents must not be hampered. Allow about 30 mm of clear space
above and below the device when installing it.
According to the technical specifications (→"Technical data") you can operate the device in a wide
operating temperature range. Because of the additional internal heating the housing walls can have
higher perceptible temperatures when touched in hot environments. This is normal and no cause for a
complaint.

Safety instructions Warnings installation

2.4 Warnings installation
NOTICE
Short circuit, incorrect wiring possible.
Consequence: Malfunction of the machine/plant in which the device is installed!
►The unit must be installed and connected by a qualified electrician.
►Disconnect power before connecting the controllereto avoid short circuits during installation.
►Connect the terminals according to the terminal marking.
►The supply voltage (SELV) must not be connected to protective earth. Therefore never connect
the minus terminal to the FE terminal or to another terminal of the device.
It must be ensured that the external voltage is generated and supplied according to the criteria for
safety extra-low voltage (SELV), since this voltage is provided without further measures to supply the
connected controller, the sensors and the actuators.
The wiring of all signals in connection with the SELV circuit of the device must also comply with the
SELV criteria (safety extra-low voltage, safe electrical separation from other electric circuits).
If the supplied SELV voltage is externally grounded (SELV becomes PELV), the responsibility lies with
the user and the respective national installation regulations must be complied with. All statements in
these operating instructions refer to the device the SELV voltage of which is not grounded.
The connection terminals may only be supplied with the signals indicated in the technical data or on
the device label or only the approved accessories of ifm electronic may be connected.

4.1 Allowed use
You may use the device for the following purposes (= intended use):
as fieldbus gateway between the actuator/sensor interface network and a higher level controller
(fieldbus master = host, e.g. PLC) via a fieldbus connection (optional)
as an independent controller for devices via the actuator/sensor interface with/without data
exchange to a PC for visualisation of the plant states
4.2 Prohibited use
The controlleremust NOT be used for the following applications:
outdoors
in wet environments
outside the specified technical data
→ page 236, chapter Technical data
Tampering with the device can seriously affect the safety of operators and machinery. This is not
permitted and leads to an exclusion of liability and warranty.

5.1 Data management
The controllereconsists of different units:
The CPU (central processing unit) ensures the data transfer between the subsystems. It
manages the remanent flash memory and the volatile RAM memory.
The flash memory is 1 Mbyte large and stores non volatilely...
-the system configuration including the AS-i configurations,
-the runtime system (RTS),
-the PLC program (must be explicitly stored there!),
-the remanent data.
The operating system and the PLC programs run in the SRAM memory, now also 1
Mbyte large, after power-on of the device.
The AS-i masters feature a separate microcontroller and communicate with the connected slave
modules on the AS-i bus according to the AS-i specification.
A text/graphics display in the controllere enables a detailed system diagnosis. Operating the
device with the four keys is easy to learn.
→ page 92, chapter Operating and display elements
-The bilingual structure of the menus and messages simplifies worldwide use of this device
family. → page 96, chapter Text/graphics display: language selection
-An intelligent message management generates priority-controlled diagnostic and error
messages and considerably supports the user during set-up and fault-finding. → page 239,
chapter Error description
The PLC is a real-time software core in the central unit. The core cyclically polls the user
program. This user program is created using the software CoDeSys® and tested.

The serial programming interface (RS-232C with RJ11 socket) enables easy projection and
programming of the AS-i masters and the PLC via a personal computer with a transmission rate of
up to 115 kBd.
→ page 121, chapter Set the baud rate of the serial interface
→ page 124, chapter RS-232C
With the optional Ethernet programming interface, (10/100 MBd, twisted pair), the device can,
in addition to even faster programming and diagnosis, also be networked to other controllere
devices.
→separate supplementary device manual
The optional fieldbus interface operates independently and exchanges data with the central
system via a "dual port RAM" interface or a DMA transfer.
→separate supplementary device manual
5.2 Introduction AS-i data
The AS-i master and the AS-i slaves make a large amount of data available to the user. The user can
request information, such as the status of the master and the configuration data of the slaves. This
data is summarised in several data fields and can be accessed via standard IEC addresses.
→ page 152, chapter Overview PLC addresses
The data structures and their contents are described in the following sections.

5.2.1 Table of pointers
The AS-i data of the controllereis summarised in several data fields which are described in the
following sections. Each of these fields can be addressed via a 32-bit pointer and can be read or
written by the user program. The pointer list has the basic address FFB00h.
