1.3 Proper Use

The M3000 Proper Use ® modular automation system is suitable for control applications in

the medium to high end performance ranges.

M3000® is designed for use within the overvoltage category defined by

IEC 60364-4-44 for controlling machines and industrial processes in low voltage systems in which the rated supply voltage does not exceed 1,000 V alternating current (50/60 Hz) or 1,500 V direct current.

Qualified project planning and design, proper transportation, storage, installation, and use are required to ensure fault-free, reliable, and safe operation of

M3000®.

M3000® and M3000® modules must not be brought into operation until it has

been ensured that the equipment in which they are installed complies with the

current version of the EU machinery directive.

The M3000® automation system and M3000® modules may be used only under the conditions and situations specified in this manual and in the documentation of the M3000® modules.

Any other or more extensive use is not permissible.

The following are also required for proper use:

• Compliance with the requirements detailed in this manual

• Compliance with the requirements of individual M3000® module documentation

• Compliance with all of the product related hardware and software documentation required for the relevant application

• Compliance with the relevant nationally and internationally applicable

a professional organization, such as TÜV or VDE

1.3.1 Safety Related Systems

Safety Related Systems 

Special measures are required to use control technology in safety related

systems.

When planning to use control technology in a safety related system, the user

should seek detailed advice in addition to any available standards or guidelines for safety installations.

WARNING As with any electronic automation system, the failure of

certain components when using M3000® or M3000® modules might lead to an uncontrolled and/or unpredictable

operational condition. The user should take into consideration the system level effects of all types of failures
