2. SAFETY
WARNING: THIS SAFETY SECTION SHOULD BE READ BEFORE COMMENCING
ANY WORK ON THE EQUIPMENT.
2.1 Health and Safety
The information in the Safety Section of the product documentation is intended to ensure
that products are properly installed and handled in order to maintain them in a safe condition.
It is assumed that everyone who will be associated with the equipment will be familiar with
the contents of the Safety Section and all Safety documents related to the PC and
Communication networks.
2.2 Explanation of symbols and labels
The meaning of symbols and labels may be used on the equipment or in the product
documentation, is given below.
2.3 Installing, Commissioning and Servicing
Equipment operating conditions
The equipment (PC and communication network supporting PACiS GTW gateway) should
be operated within the specified electrical and environmental limits.
Fibre optic communication
Optical LED transceivers used in Switch boards are classified as IEC 825-1 Accessible
Emission Limit (AEL) Class 1 and consequently considered eye safe.
Optical power meters should be used to determine the operation or signal level of the device.

be uninterrupted or error free.
A Return Material Authorisation (RMA) number must be obtained from the factory and clearly
marked on the package before any equipment acceptance for guaranty work.
Schneider Electric will pay the shipping costs of returning to the owner parts, which are
covered by warranty.
Schneider Electric believe that the information in this document is accurate. The document
has been carefully reviewed for technical accuracy. In the event that technical or
typographical errors exist, Schneider Electric reserves the right to make changes to
subsequent editions of this document without prior notice to holders of this edition. The
reader should consult Schneider Electric if errors are suspected. In no event shall
Schneider Electric be liable for any damages arising out of or related to this document or the

5. WARNINGS REGARDING USE OF SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC PRODUCTS
Schneider Electric products are not designed with components and testing for a level of
reliability suitable for use in or in connection with surgical implants or as critical components
in any life support systems whose failure to perform can reasonably be expected to cause
significant injuries to a human.
In any application, including the above reliability of operation of the software products can be
impaired by adverse factors, including -but not limited- to fluctuations in electrical power
supply, computer hardware malfunctions, computer operating system, software fitness,
fitness of compilers and development software used to develop an application, installation
errors, software and hardware compatibility problems, malfunctions or failures of electronic
monitoring or control devices, transient failures of electronic systems (hardware and/or
software), unanticipated uses or misuses, or errors from the user or applications designer
(adverse factors such as these are collectively termed "System failures").
Any application where a system failure would create a risk of harm to property or persons
(including the risk of bodily injuries and death) should not be reliant solely upon one form of
electronic system due to the risk of system failure to avoid damage, injury or death, the user
or application designer must take reasonably steps to protect against system failure,
including -but not limited- to back-up or shut-down mechanisms, not because end-user
system is customised and differs from Schneider Electric testing platforms but also a user or
application designer may use Schneider Electric products in combination with other
products.
These actions cannot be evaluated or contemplated by Schneider Electric ; Thus, the user or
application designer is ultimately responsible for verifying and validating the suitability of
Schneider Electric products whenever they are incorporated in a system or application, even
without limitation of the appropriate design, process and safety levels of such system or
application.

2. INDUSTRIAL PC CHARACTERISTICS
2.1 Operating System
Gateway software is intended to run under an industrial PC running under Windows
2000Pro, Windows 2000 Server or Windows XP operating system with at least 256 Mo of
RAM.
Using 256 Mo of RAM you will not needed to have a swap memory i.e. the gateway and the
system will run in RAM.
2.2 Configuration
The configuration of the gateway is given in table 1 of chapter GTW/EN HW/C12. This
configuration complies with the environmental constraints given hereafter.
2.3 Communication ports with SCADA
• Number of simultaneous protocols: 4
• Number of serial ports by protocol: 2 (main, redundant)
• Thus 8 ports maximum on one gateway: 2 cards with 4 ports
• Number of communication port settable by PACiS SCE: 8
• Baud rate (bits/s): from 300 to 19200 settable by PACiS SCE
In the industrial PC configuration described below the motherboard has two serial
communication ports. You can use them for one communication with SCADA plus a
redundant port or two communications with SCADA. For additional communication ports you
will need to add a PCI or an ISA communication card into the PC.
2.4 Ethernet Communication port
The Ethernet communication port is a 10 / 100 Mbps RJ45 connector.
