Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.

1.7 DataMatrix code
A DataMatrix code is lasered on the front of all units of the function modules for AS-Interface,
on the left on the basic module.
In the case of basic and coupling modules, there is a further DataMatrix code behind the labeling
plate.
DataMatrix codes are standardized in ISO/IEC 16022. The DataMatrix codes on Siemens
devices use ECC200 coding for powerful error correction.
The following device information is encoded in the front DataMatrix code as a bit stream:
• Article number
• Serial number (abbreviated)
