2 Safety information
2.1 General safety notes
The following safety notes must always be observed regardless of specific application
conditions:
•The device must only be mounted, commissioned, operated, and maintained by
professionally qualified safety personnel.
•Electrical connections with peripheral devices must only be made when the volt‐
age supply is disconnected.
•The device is only to be operated when mounted in a fixed position.
•The device voltage supply must be protected in accordance with the specifications.
•The specified ambient conditions must be observed at all times.
•The electrical connections to peripheral devices must be screwed on correctly.
•The cooling fins or fan - if present - must not be covered or restricted in their
functionality.
•The pin assignment of pre-assembled cables must be checked and adjusted if
necessary.
•These operating instructions must be made available to the operating personnel
and kept ready to hand.
2.2 Intended use
The device is a programmable control and evaluation unit for sensors.
The device also acts as a link between system and plant controls, and the connected
terminal devices. The device is mainly used in an industrial environment in production,
testing, and control. Other applications are possible depending on the device-specific
properties.
The device is programmed on a PC by using the development environment software
SICK AppSpace. Depending on the application, a browser-based, graphical user inter‐
face (HMI) can be created, which provides opportunities defined by the application
developer to influence an application at operator level.
The device connection to the peripherals is established by means of a range of indus‐
trial interfaces.
The device offers various interfaces for controlling, programming, and operating pur‐
poses, which can be activated as necessary via development environments, control
systems (programmable logic controllers), or applications.
However, configuration, programming, and control requires various technical skills,
depending on how the device is connected and used.
2.3 Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica‐
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
•The device does not constitute a safety component in accordance with the respec‐
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
•The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme environmental conditions.
•Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.

6 Electrical installation
6.1 Important information
WARNING
Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current!
Due to equipotential bonding currents, incorrect earthing can lead to the following
dangers and faults: Voltage is applied to the metal housing, cable fires due to cable
shields heating up, the product and other devices become damaged.
■Generate the same ground potential at all grounding points.
■Ground the equipotential bonding via the functional ground connection with a low
impedance.
NOTICE
Device damage due to improper supply voltage!
■Only operate the device with the specified supply voltage.
■The voltage supply and all connected signals must meet the requirements for
extra-low voltages with safe separation (SELV) as specified in EN 61010. The
external voltage supply of the device must bridge a brief power outage of 20ms.
■Only devices that are also supplied with safety extra-low voltage must be con‐
nected.
NOTE
Layout of data cables
■Use screened data cables with twisted-pair wires.
■Implement the screening design correctly and completely.
■To avoid interference, e.g. from switching power supplies, motors, clocked drives,
and contactors, always use cables and layouts that are suitable for EMC.
■Do not lay cables over long distances in parallel with power supply cables and
motor cables in cable channels.
6.2 Preparing the electrical installation
To carry out the electrical installation, you will need:
•Connection cables for the peripheral devices, including the corresponding data
sheets
•Voltage supply cable
•If customers assemble the cables: crimping tool, ferrules, soldering iron, and other
installation material

7 Commissioning
7.1 Preparatory commissioning
Commissioning for preparatory purposes and under laboratory conditions differs in
some respects from commissioning in the target system.
In general, all safety and hazard warnings applicable to mounting (see "Mounting",
page 14) and electrical installation (see "Important notes")must also be observed
under laboratory conditions. In addition, further notes must be taken into consideration
to guarantee the most effective preparation possible:
•Only connect those devices to the product that you want to configure or program.
•Operate the connected device in a controlled and contained network environment
for the time being to check network communication if necessary.
•Note the company standards that apply to the use of checking and testing devices.
•For initial programming, use ideal conditions for sensor recognition.
•Use the largest possible deviations from these ideal conditions to check the
programming with respect to its error tolerance and reliability, and to determine
error limit values.
Procedure
1. Place the device on a non-slip base.
2. Connect the required peripheral devices, see "Connecting peripheral devices".
3. Connect the network connection.
4. Connect the voltage supply.
5. The device requires a certain start-up time. The readiness is indicated by the
green "Dev RDY" LED.
