Maintenance and cleaning
| |
Ensure safe condition for cleaning work Basically, electronic devices are not fail-safe. The condition is always safe when the unit is switched off and not energized. For cleaning work, bring the connected motors and the machine into a safe state. Carrying cleaning work during operation can lead to serious or fatal injuries. |

Do not immerse or spray XPlanar components Wipe the XPlanar components with a clean, lint-free cloth. Cleaning by immersion can lead to damage to the XPlanar components and surfaces as well as to leak-tightness problems due to impermissible solutions. Do not apply cleaning agent to XPlanar components For heavier soiling on the XPlanar components, isopropanol can be applied to a clean, lint-free cloth. Never apply the cleaning agent directly to the XPlanar components. Applying cleaning agents to the XPlanar components can result in consequential damage to surfaces and electronics. |
Beckhoff recommends regular maintenance in order to prevent permanent damage to the system. Contamination, dust or chips can have a negative effect on the function of the components. In the worst case, contamination can lead to failure. Therefore, clean and maintain the components at regular and necessary intervals. Observe the corresponding IP classes of the components when cleaning.
