Safety Guidelines
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
with a safety alert symbol, indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
without a safety alert symbol, indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that an unintended result or situation can occur if the corresponding information is not taken into
account.
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.
Qualified Personnel
The device/system may only be set up and used in conjunction with this documentation. Commissioning and
operation of a device/system may only be performed by qualified personnel. Within the context of the safety notes
in this documentation qualified persons are defined as persons who are authorized to commission, ground and
label devices, systems and circuits in accordance with established safety practices and standards.
Prescribed Usage

Preface
Purpose of the operating instructions
These operating instructions provide information based on the requirements defined by DIN
EN 62079 for mechanical engineering documentation. This information relates to the place of
use, transport, storage, mounting, use and maintenance.
These operating instructions are intended for the following user groups:
● Operators
The operator operates and monitors the system during the process control phase. The
following chapters are relevant to the operator:
– Operator controls and displays
– Fail-safe operation
– Operating a project
– Operating recipes
– Operating alarms
● Commissioning engineers
The commissioning engineer integrates the HMI device into the system and ensures the
operating capability of the HMI device for the process control phase.
All the operating instructions are relevant for the commissioning engineer.
Depending on the use of the HMI device, certain chapters may not be of relevance to the
commissioning engineer, for example the chapter "Maintenance and servicing".
● Service technicians
Service technicians rectify faults that occur during the process control phase.
The entire set of operating instructions is relevant to service technicians in principle.
Depending on the use of the HMI device, however, certain chapters may not be relevant
to them, for example the chapter on "Maintenance and care".
● Maintenance technicians
Maintenance technicians carry out regular maintenance work during the process control
phase. The chapter on "Maintenance and care" is relevant to maintenance technicians.
The chapter "Safety instructions, standards and information" should be particularly heeded
by all person groups.
The help integrated in WinCC flexible, the WinCC flexible Information System, contains
detailed information. The information system contains instructions, examples and reference
information in electronic form.
