4.2 Intended use and foreseeable misuse
4.2.1 Intended use
MAXO-RG-BSx rail bus modules are designed for use on the stationary side of a rail-
guided automation system with rail bus communication.
All products described in this document are intended exclusively for use in commercial
and industrial environments.
MAXO-RG-BSx communication modules are used for bidirectional data exchange be-
tween a higher-level controller/PLC and an EMS modular bogie controller.
When using a single-axis controller, the mobile receiver module is built into the control-
ler.
With multi-axis controls, the MAXO-RG-BMS - mobile rail bus module - is required on
the mobile side.
The rail bus modules differ by:
Field bus used:
•BSP: PROFINET
•BSE: ETHERNET/IP
MAXO-RG controls:
• Uniaxial controller
• Multi-axis control (EMS modular)
The specially created function blocks must also be observed for operation (see TIA li-
brary manual).
4.2.2 Foreseeable misuse
Any use outside the specifications and guidelines described in these instructions for
transport, storage and operation represents misuse.
Products described in this documentation may only be used in a commercial and indus-
trial environment. Operation in other sectors (such as end-user applications) is not per-
mitted.
The communication module may only be repaired by the manufacturer. Installation or
modification of any kind represent unauthorized interference and result in the loss of
product conformity.
In the event of misapplication, misuse or operation outside the specifications de-
scribed, any warranty claims against the manufacturer are void.

4.3.1 Danger from electrical energy
Carry out the following safety work in accordance with VDE 0105-100 (this work must
be carried out by a qualified electrician, see section ""Personnel requirements" (
16)").
Unlocking
Required isolating distances must be established.
Secure against restart
During work, a prohibition sign must be attached reliably on switching handles or drives
of switches, control units, pressure and sensing devices, safety parts, circuit breakers
that have been used to unlock a system part or that can be used to connect electricity.
If this is not possible, then the clearly associated prohibition sign must be nearby. In the
case of manually operated switches, existing interlocking devices must be used to pre-
vent them from being switched on again.
Determine that electricity is disconnected
Absence of voltage is to be determined at or as close as possible to the work site at all
poles. Absence of voltage must be checked with a voltage tester immediately before and
after use.
Grounding and short circuiting
Parts on which work will be performed at the work place must first be grounded and then
short circuited. Grounding and short-circuiting must be visible from the workplace. De-
viating from the above, it is permitted to ground and short-circuit near the work place if
this is required due to local conditions or for safety reasons. Devices for grounding and
short-circuiting must always first be connected with the grounding system or the ground
electrode and afterwards with the parts to be grounded. Grounding and short circuiting
may be waived in certain low-voltage systems (see VDE 0100-100).
Cover and block adjacent parts that are connected to electricity
Before starting work, check whether it is feasible to disconnect adjacent parts
from electricity.
⚠
DANGER
Electric current hazard!
Death or serious injuries
• No live parts may be touched!
• It must be ensured that components are not live (switch off the voltage) or, if this is
not possible, cover the parts with insulating material.
• Live parts must be secured against unauthorized approach.

4.4 Responsibilities of the operating company
Provider definition
The provider can be found in the order confirmation and has the following obligations:
Provider obligations
The plant system is used in the commercial sector. The system provider is therefore sub-
ject to the statutory obligations relating to occupational safety. In addition to the safety
instructions in this manual, the safety, accident prevention and environmental regula-
tions applicable to system use must be observed. The following is especially applicable:
• The provider ensures protection against electric shock (protection against direct
contact).
• The provider must inform himself about the applicable occupational health and safe-
ty regulations and determine additional hazards in risk assessment resulting from
special working conditions at the system location. He must implement these in the
form of instructions for operating the system.
• During the entire system service life, the provider must check whether the operating
instructions he has created correspond to the current status of the regulations and,
if necessary, adapt them.
• The provider must clearly regulate and define who is responsible for installation, op-
eration, maintenance and cleaning.
• The provider must ensure that all employees who work with the system have read
and understood the operating instructions. In addition, he must train the staff at reg-
ular intervals and inform them of dangers.
Furthermore, the provider is responsible for ensuring the system is always in a
technically perfect condition, therefore the following applies:
• The provider must ensure that maintenance intervals described in this documenta-
tion are followed.
• Controls and safety devices created by him for operating the system must be
checked for functional reliability and completeness.
• The provider must ensure installation and assembly in accordance with EN 60204.
• The provider must ensure that all components are disconnected from the power sup-
ply in the event of an EMERGENCY STOP. In particular, the power rail installed in
parallel.
