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

Flange mount for device version "prepared for support arm and extension components"
An optional flange mount that is not included in the product package is available for the
device version "prepared for support arm and extension components".
The flange mount converts the flange mount connection into a mechanically compatible
interface to the base adapter. The flange of the flange mount has the same drilling pattern as
the base adapter. This means you can use all couplings of the support arm or pedestal
systems with mechanical interface for the base adapter.

Extension Unit and operator controls
Extension components - Extension Unit
The Extension Unit is used to install additional operator controls under a SIMATIC PRO
device of the type "Suitable for extension components" with 16:9 display.
The example in the figure below shows the Extension Unit 22" with eight operator controls
including emergency stop button.
The Extension Units have individual configuration possibilities and are supplied without
operator controls. The available slots are suitable for installation of operator controls.
The extension units are available in 4 different sizes:
●12"
●15"
●19"
●22"
For greater flexibility, three different connection options can be selected per size for the PLC
connection of the operator controls:
●Hardwired
●PROFINET
●PROFIsafe
In addition, different operator controls such as emergency stop, selector switch, illuminated
pushbutton, keyswitch, indicator light or RFID reader are available.
Note
Only operator controls with Siemens approval may be installed in the Extension Unit.
