Intended use

The embedded PC is a control system for use in machine and system engineering for automation, visualization and communication. The embedded PC is designed for installation in a control cabinet or terminal box and is used together with Bus or EtherCAT Terminals to receive digital and analog signals from sensors and output them to actuators or forward them to higher-level controllers.

The Embedded PC is designed for a working environment that meets the requirements of protection class IP20. This involves finger protection and protection against solid foreign objects up to 12.5 mm, but not protection against water. Operation of the devices in wet and dusty environments is not permitted, unless specified otherwise. The specified limits for electrical and technical data must be adhered to.

Improper use

The Embedded PC is not suitable for operation in the following areas:

• Potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Areas with an aggressive environment, e.g. aggressive gases or chemicals.
• Living areas. If the devices are to be used in living areas, the relevant standards and guidelines for interference emissions must be adhered to, and the devices must be installed in housings or control boxes with suitable shielding.
