ESD Guidelines
Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic Sensitive
Devices
(ESD)
1
What Does ESD Mean?
Almost all SIMATIC–TELEPERM modules contain many integrated blocks or elements which use
MOS technology. The technology used makes these electronic components very sensitive to
overvoltages and thus to electrostatic discharge.
The German abbreviation for such modules is
“EGB”: Elektrostatisch (2efahrdeten Elauelemente
EJaugruppen
Next to this abbreviation you will often find the common international abbreviation
“ESD”: Electrostatic Sensitive
!2evice
When found on cabinets, module subracks or packaging, the symbol shown below indicates that
electrostatic sensitive components have been used in this device and the module is thus sensitive
to touch.
A
ESDS can be destroyed by voltages and energies far below those perceived by humans. Such
voltages can even occur when a component or a module is touched by a person who is not statical-
ly discharged. Components which have been subjected to such overvoltages can usually not be
immediately identified as defective since a malfunction may not occur until the module has been in
operation for a longer period of time.
To be perceived by humans, the following minimum voltages are required:
– To be felt – 3500 volts
– To be heard – 4500 volts
– To be seen – 5000 volts
But a fraction of this voltage can already damage or destroy electronic components.
Components which have been damaged, overloaded or weakened by static discharge can mal-
function temporarily when average technical specifications are deviated from. A few examples are
listed below.” -

2 When Does a Static Charge Occur?
You can never be absolutely certain that you yourself or the materials and tools you are using are
not electrostatically charged.
Small charges of up to 100 V are common but these can increase to 35,000 V in a very short time!
Examples:
– Walking on carpeting
– Walking on plastic -
flooring
– Sitting on upholstered
chair
– Unsoldering device
made of plastic
– Plastic coffee cups
– Plastic covers
– Books and pads with
synthetic binding
up to 35000 v

Important Protective Measures Against Static Charging
Since most plastics have a strong tendency to charge, it is imperative that they be kept away
from sensitive components.
Be sure to provide good grounding of people, your workplace and the packaging when working
with electrostatic sensitive components.
Handling ESD Modules
As a matter of principle, electronic modules should not be touched unless the work to be per-
formed on them makes this absolutely necessary.
Components should not be touched unless
– you are continuously grounded with an ESD bracelet
or
– you are wearing ESD shoes or ESD shoe protective
grounding strips on an ESD floor.
Before touching an electronic module, your own body must be discharged. The easiest way to
do this is to touch a conductive, grounded object (e.g., blank metal parts of switching cabinets,
water pipes, etc.) immediately prior to touching the component.
Modules should not come in contact with chargeable and highly insulating materials (e.g., plas-
tic foil, insulating tabletops, synthetic fiber clothing).
Modules should only be placed on conductive surfaces (e.g., table with
ESD covering, conduc-
tive ESD foam, ESD packaging bag, ESD shipping container).
Do not allow modules in the vicinity of CRTs, monitors or television sets (minimum distance to
the screen >10 cm).

Measuring and Modifying ESD Modules
● Measurements may not be performed on the modules unless
– the measuring device is grounded (e.g., with protective conductor)
or
– the measuring head is briefly discharged (e.g., touching blank metal part
of the controller housing) prior to measuring when using a floating mea-
suring device.
● For soldering use only a grounded soldering device.
6Shipping ESD Modules
As a matter of principle, modules and components must always be stored or shipped in conduc-
tive packaging (e.g., metallized plastic boxes, metal cans).
When packaging is not conductive, the modules must be wrapped in conductive material prior to
packaging. For example, conductive foam rubber, ESD bags, household aluminum foil or paper
can be used (never use plastic bags or foil).
Be sure that the conductive packaging of modules with built–in batteries does not touch or short
circuit the battery connections (if necessary, cover the connections with insulating tape or material
beforehand).

The safety and accident prevention regulations applicable to the specific appli-
cation must be adhered to.
Built–in devices for housings or cabinets may only be used and operated when
completely installed in the housing or cabinet; desktop or portable models may
only be used and operated when the housing is closed.
A power disconnector switch or a fuse must be provided in the building installa-
tion for facilities with a fixed connection (stationary devices/systems) without
all–pole power disconnector switches and /or fuses. The facility must be con-
nected to a protective conductor.
The grounded protective contact electrical outlet for devices/systems with per-
manently connected, non–removable connection lines and without all–pole
power disconnector switches must be installed near the device and be easily
accessible.
Before commissioning devices operated with power network voltage, check to
determine whether the set nominal voltage range matches the local power
vol–
tage.
When a 24–V supply is used, a reliable electrical separation of extra low vol–
tages must be provided. Use only powerpacks manufactured in accordance
with IEC 364–4–41 or HD 384.04.41 (VDE 0100, part 410).
Fluctuations or variations of the power voltage from the nominal value may not
exceed the tolerance ranges stated in the technical specifications. Otherwise
the occurrence of malfunctions and dangerous states on the electrical module
systems cannot be excluded.
Measures must be provided by which an interrupted program can be properly
restarted aftera drop in voltage or a power loss. This must not cause dangerous
operating situations even for short times. If necessary, “emergency OFF” must
be forced.
“Emeraencv OFF” svstems in accordance with EN 60204 IEC 204 (VDE 01 13)
must r~mai;
effectiv; in all operating modes of the automation syste’m. Releas~
ing the “emergency OFF” system must not cause uncontrolled or undefined re-
starts.
Caution
. Installation of connection and signal lines must be such that inductive and
capacitive interferences do not affect the automation functions.
● Installation of automation systems and their operating components must be
such that they are sufficiently protected against accidental activation.
. Appropriate safety measures must be provided on the 1/0 coupling of the
hardware and software to prevent a line or wire break from causing undefined
states in the automation system.

6Active and Passive Errors of an Automation System
● Depending on the task to be performed by an electronic automation system, both active and
passive errors can bedangerous errors. In a drive control system, for example, theactive error
is usually dangerous since it can cause the drive to be switched on. In contrast, a passive error
in a message function can prevent a dangerous operating state from being reported.
● The distinction between possible errors and their classification as dangerous or not dangerous
based on their task is
impottant to all safety measures concerning the-delivered product.
A
!
Warning
Everywhere where errors in the automation system can cause substantial pro–
petty damage or even personal injury (i.e., can be dangerous errors), additional
external measures must be taken or systems created which will ensure or force
safe operation when an error occurs (e.g., with an independent limit value
switch, mechanical locks, etc.).
7Maintenance and Repair Procedures
When measurements or tests must be performed on an active device, the specifications and in-
structions contained in accident prevention regulation VBG 4.0, and
58 “Permissible Deviations
during Work on Active Parts” in particular, must be complied with. Suitable electrical tools must be
used.

Repairs on an automation system may only be performed by Siemens Service
personnel or by repair shops authorized by Siemens. When replacing parts
or components, use only parts contained in the spare parts list or listed under the
section on spare parts in this manual. Unauthorized opening and faulty repairs
can result in death or severe personal injury, and substantial property damage.
Before opening the device
always
pull the power plug or open the disconnection
switch.
When replacing fuses, use only the types specified in the technical specifications
or the maintenance instructions of this publication.
Do not throw batteries in an open fire and do not perform soldering on the body of
the battery. Danger of explosion (maximum temperature of 100° C). Do not
open or recharge lithium batteries or batteries containing mercury. When replac-
ing, use only the same types.
Always dispose of batteries or accumulators at a special waste collection point.
Use of monitors:
Faulty work (particularly changes in the high–voltage or installation of another
type of picture tube) can result in increased emission of X–rays. A device which
has been thus modified no longer meets certification criteria and may not be op-
erated.
