1.3 Target groups and structure of these operating instructions
These operating instructions are intended for the following target groups:project devel‐
opers (planners, developers, designers), installers, electricians, safety experts (such as
CE authorized representatives, compliance officers, people who test and approve the
application), operators, and maintenance personnel.
These operating instructions are organized by the life phases of the device: project
planning, mounting, electrical installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance.
The table below shows the target groups and how – for many applications – these are
typically divided up between the manufacturer and the entity operating the machine in
which the device is to be integrated:
Area of responsibility Target group Specific chapters of these operating instruc‐
tions 1)

1) Chapters not listed here are intended for all target groups. All target groups must follow all of the safety
and warning instructions in all chapters of the operating instructions!
In other applications, the operating organization is also the manufacturer of the equip‐
ment with the corresponding allocation of the target groups.

2 Safety information
2.1 General safety notes
Product integration
DANGER
The product can not offer the expected protection if it is integrated incorrectly.
bPlan the integration of the product in accordance with the machine requirements
(project planning).
bImplement the integration of the product in accordance with the project planning.
Mounting and electrical installation
DANGER
Death or severe injury due to electrical voltage and/or an unexpected startup of the
machine
bMake sure that the machine is (and remains) disconnected from the voltage
supply during mounting and electrical installation.
bMake sure that the dangerous state of the machine is and remains switched off.
Repairs and modifications
DANGER
Improper work on the product
A modified product may not offer the expected protection if it is integrated incorrectly.
bApart from the procedures described in this document, do not repair, open, manip‐
ulate or otherwise modify the product.
2.2 Intended use
The Flexi Compact safety controller is a freely configurable control for safety applica‐
tions.
Sensors and switching elements (e.g. light curtains, laser scanners, switches, sensors,
encoders, emergency stop pushbuttons) are connected to the safety controller and
are linked logically. The corresponding actuators of the machines or systems can be
switched off safely via the switching outputs of the safety controller.
The gateway is an extension module of the safety controller. The gateway module ena‐
bles a safety controller to send data to a network for control and diagnostic purposes,
and to receive data from the network.
Incorrect use, improper modification or manipulation of the product will invalidate any
warranty from SICK; in addition, any responsibility and liability of SICK for damage and
secondary damage caused by this is excluded.
The product is only suitable for use in industrial environments.
2.3 Improper use
Among others, the safety controller is not suitable for the following applications:
•Outdoors
•Underwater

2.4 Cybersecurity
Overview
To protect against cybersecurity threats, it is necessary to continuously monitor and
maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity concept. A suitable concept consists of organi‐
zational, technical, procedural, electronic, and physical levels of defense and considers
suitable measures for different types of risks. The measures implemented in this
product can only support protection against cybersecurity threats if the product is used
as part of such a concept.
You will find further information at www.sick.com/psirt, e.g.:
•General information on cybersecurity
•Contact option for reporting vulnerabilities
•Information on known vulnerabilities (security advisories)
2.5 Requirements for the qualification of personnel
The product must be configured, installed, connected, commissioned, and serviced by
qualified safety personnel only.
Project planning
You need safety expertise to implement safety functions and select suitable products
for that purpose. You need expert knowledge of the applicable standards and regula‐
tions.
Mounting, electrical installation and commissioning
You need suitable expertise and experience. You must be able to assess if the machine
is operating safely.
Configuration
You need suitable expertise and experience. You must be able to assess if the machine
is operating safely.
Operation and maintenance
You need suitable expertise and experience. You must be instructed in machine oper‐
ation by the machine operator. For maintenance, you must be able to assess if the
machine is operating safely.
