those from attached peripherals such as externally supplied

transmitters, programming devices, etc.!

WARNING M3000® modules must be protected from overvoltages

and/or reverse energization from the sensor to the module!

There is a danger of:

• Permanent damage by overheating or fire

• Malfunctions

M3000® modules must have the correct voltage, polarity, and

terminal assignments.

WARNING The internal electronics of M3000® modules and attached sensors must be supplied with power from a permanently connected (unswitched) power supply that

cannot be individually switched off, without switching

off the module's power supply.

If a switched power supply is used, such as when there are

intermediate switching devices (emergency stops, manual

operators, etc.), the following problems might arise, depending on the state of the power supply for the internal electronics of the module and sensors (Ö-table-3 on page 41):

• Reverse energization from sensor to module

• Invalid sensor data

WARNING Sensors that are connected to digital inputs of M3000®

modules with several I/O groups, such as MSC I, QDIO,

or RDIO, must under all conditions be supplied from the

same power supply as the corresponding I/O-group to

which the sensor is connected!

Otherwise, if the power supply for the internal electronics of

the module is switched off, there might be reverse energization from the sensor to the module.

There is a danger of:

• Uncontrolled movements

• Fault or failure of a manual control

• Permanent damage to the module

• Malfunctions

Digital I/Os of MSC II and MSD Motion Controller are protected against reverse energization.

To avoid damage to M3000® modules or accessories,

cleaning, maintenance, and repair tasks may be performed only by Moog or Moog's authorized service

agents.

Warranty and liability claims for personal and material damage are excluded when, among other reasons, they are due

to unauthorized repairs or other unauthorized interventions.

Ö-"1.4-Warranty and Liability" on page 3

WARNING No work of any kind, such as mounting, removing, wiring, or repairs to the M3000® automation system or

M3000® modules may be performed while the automation system or the modules are in operation! 

There is a danger of:

• Uncontrolled movements

• Permanent damage

• Malfunctions

Before performing any work on the M3000® automation system or M3000® modules, it is essential that the system is

stopped and the power supply is disconnected.

Therefore, all power supplies must be switched off, including

those from attached peripherals such as externally supplied

transmitters, programming devices, etc.!

ARNING The M3000® automation system and M3000® modules

must not come into direct contact with liquids, except

where explicitely specified. Danger of short-circuit!

If they do come into direct contact with a liquid, immediately

disconnect the power supply! Before bringing the system

back into operation, it is essential that all affected components are completely dry and have been inspected by a suitably qualified technician.

WARNING If an M3000® module is to be taken out of operation, the

entire system must always be shut down and disconnected from all power supplies.

Therefore, all power supplies must be switched off, including those from attached peripherals such as externally supplied transmitters, programming devices, etc.!

The M3000® module must be protected against unintentional restarting!

If the M3000® module is connected to other devices and/or

facilities, always consider the full consequences and take appropriate precautions before switching off the module.

Maintain, under all circumstances, the required environmental conditions specified for transportation and storage of the M3000® automation system or M3000® modules.

WARNING The MSC II control module's operational state can be altered with the MACS development environment when the

MSC II control module is connected online with MACS. 

This can be done by means of the following actions, for example:

• Stopping or resetting the program

• Setting breakpoints

• Activating the single step mode

• Downloading application programs

• Writing or forcing values

Therefore, the operator must always consider the effects and

take appropriate precautions before altering the operational

state of the MSC II control module with MACS.

The license key of the MSC II control module must be

protected from electrostatic discharges! 

Electrical discharges might damage the license key or delete

the contents of the license key's memory. 

WARNING The license key may be inserted or removed only when
