  • Page 4 Getting started with example projects Safety instructions PLC-specific safety notices The product family AC500 control system is designed according to the EN 61131-2 and IEC 61131-2 standards. Any data that differs from IEC 61131-2, is due to the higher requirements of Maritime Services. Other differences are described in the technical data description of the devices.
  • Page 5 Getting started with example projects Safety instructions CAUTION! Do not obstruct the ventilation for cooling! The ventilation slots on the upper and lower sides of the devices must not be covered. CAUTION! Run signal and power wiring separately! Signal and supply lines (power cables) must be laid out so that no malfunctions due to capacitive and inductive interference can occur (EMC).
