1.3 Field of application of the product
1.3.1 Intended use
The AXC F 1152 and AXC F 2152 controllers are modular small-scale controllers. The
AXC F 3152 is a modular controller that can be used for smaller and medium-sized applica-
tions. The devices comply with the IP20 protection class and are designed for use in closed
control cabinets or control boxes (terminal boxes) with an IP54 degree of protection or
higher.
The devices are designed for use in industrial environments.
1.4 Product changes
Modifications to the device hardware are not permitted.
Incorrect operation or modifications to the devices can endanger your safety or damage the
devices. Do not repair the devices yourself. If a device is defective, please contact
Phoenix Contact.
1.5 Safety notes
Observe the country-specific installation, safety, and accident prevention regulations.
NOTE: Property damage due to impermissible stress
The IP20 degree of protection (IEC 60529/EN 60529) requires that the device is used in
a clean and dry environment. If you use the device in an environment that is outside of the
specified limits, this may cause damage to the device.
• Do not subject the device to mechanical and/or thermal loads that exceed the speci-
fied limits.
NOTE: Electrostatic discharge
The device contains components that can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic dis-
charge. When handling the device, observe the necessary safety precautions against
electrostatic discharge (ESD) in accordance with EN 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-5-1.
NOTE: Device failure due to foreign objects in device
Foreign objects in the device can lead to malfunctions or even device failure.
• Ensure that no foreign objects find their way into the device (e.g., into the vents).
NOTE: Device failure if operated outside the permitted ambient temperature
range
Operating the device in ambient temperatures that are not within the permitted range may
lead to malfunctions or even device failure.
• Ensure that the device is operated within the permitted ambient temperature range,
see Section 14.3 and Section 14.4.

1.6 Security in the network
NOTE: Device failure due to vibrations and shock levels above the permitted
specifications during operation
If the device is subjected to vibrations and shock levels above the permitted specifications
during operation, this may lead to malfunctions or even device failure.
• Ensure that the permitted specifications for vibrations and shocks are adhered to
when operating the device, see Section 14.3 and Section 14.4.
NOTE: Device defect due to polarity reversal
Polarity reversal puts a strain on the electronics and can damage the device.
• To protect the device, avoid reversing the poles of the 24 V supply.
Please note:
The service interface currently has no function.
The service interface is intended for connecting a PC. The service interface is not intend-
ed for connecting other peripheral devices.
NOTE: Risk of unauthorized network access
Connecting devices to a network via Ethernet always entails the risk of unauthorized ac-
cess to the network.
Therefore, please check your application for the option of deactivating active communi-
cation channels (e.g., FTP, DCP, HTTP, HTTPS, etc.), or setting passwords to prevent
third parties from accessing the controller without authorization and modifying the system.
Due to its communication interfaces, the controller should not be used in safety-critical ap-
plications unless additional security appliances are used.
Please take additional protective measures in accordance with the IT security require-
ments and the standards applicable to your application (e.g., virtual networks (VPN) for
remote maintenance access, firewalls, etc.) for protection against unauthorized network
access.
On first request, you shall release Phoenix Contact and the companies associated with
Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG, Flachsmarktstraße 8, 32825 Blomberg, Germany in
accordance with §§ 15 ff AktG (German Stock Corporation Act), hereinafter collectively
referred to as “Phoenix Contact”, from all third-party claims made due to improper use.
For the protection of networks for remote maintenance via VPN, Phoenix Contact offers
the mGuard product range of security appliances, a description of which you will find in
the latest Phoenix Contact catalog (phoenixcontact.net/products).
Additional measures for protection against unauthorized network access are listed in the
AH EN INDUSTRIAL SECURITY application note. The application note can be down-
loaded at phoenixcontact.net/product/2404267.
