▶▶ Observe safety in accordance with EN 13849 or IEC 62061.
▶▶ If persons have to enter the hazard zone while the control is active, provide
superordinate monitoring functions or measurers for personal safety. The plant
manufacturer/user must rate and dimension these measures on the basis of a
risk and failure analysis according to the specific situation on site. The safety
regulations valid for the system must be taken into account for this.
▶▶ Failures and defects in the control current or the energy supply can result in
uncontrolled machine movements.
▶▶ Electronics emit interference to other electronics within the permitted limit
values and also react to interference. This can cause malfunction in the control
process. Only use electronics below EMC limit values or provide appropriate
shielding.
▶▶ Electrostatic processes, an inadequate grounding concept or missing
equipotential bonding can lead to damage to the electronics and hence
cause malfunction or uncontrolled movements of the machine. Ensure proper
grounding and provide equipotential bonding.
▶▶ Using the product outside the specified IP protection class can result in
short-circuit and malfunction and hence in uncontrolled machine movements.
Therefore, use the product only within the IP protection class and in
environments as specified in the data sheet.
▶▶ Provide safety functions for personal safety separately. Amplifiers, command
value processing cards and control electronics themselves do not include safety
functions for personal safety and are no safety-related components.
▶▶ Avoid contact with salt-laden environments and adhere to the ambient
temperature given in the data sheet.
▶▶ In the event of an emergency, fault or other abnormalities, switch the system off
and secure it against being switched on again.
WARNING

Impairment of safety and malfunction.
▶▶ Keep the surroundings free from electrically conductive contamination (acids,
bases, corrosive agents, salts, metal vapors, etc.) and do not expose the device
to these substances. Generally rule out any deposits according to protection
class IP.
NOTICE
High voltage!
The electronics may be damaged.
▶▶ Wire electronics from Bosch Rexroth only when these are disconnected from the
power supply.
Radiated interference!
Risk of malfunction.
▶▶ The distance to radio sources must be sufficiently large (>> 1 m).
▶▶ In the case of strongly fluctuating operating voltage, it may be necessary to use
an external smoothing capacitor in individual cases.
Emitted interference!
Risk of affecting other devices.
▶▶ Use shielded signal and solenoids cables in order that EMC requirements are
fulfilled.
Overloading!
Risk of overloading and damage of the supply cable in the case of insufficient
dimensioning and/or operation with several electrical devices.
▶▶ Provide current limitation by overload protection.
▶▶ Select an appropriate rating of power supply units and cables.
Short-circuit!
Risk of overloading and damage of the supply cable in the case of defects of the
electrical device.
▶▶ Provide current limitation by overload protection.

In the case of electronics in Euro-card format, please note that these have to be
transported in the antistatic packaging, in which they are delivered.
7 Installation
NOTICE
Risk of short-circuit!
In the case of electronics with housing, water may condense within the housing!
▶▶ Let the electronics acclimate itself for several hours, as otherwise water may
condense in the housing.
Some electronics are provided with cooling slots. Depending on the specified
protection class, dirt and fluids may easily enter and cause malfunction and short-
circuit! Reliable operation is thus no longer ensured.
▶▶ When working on the electronics, observe strictest cleanliness and make sure
that no fluids will enter the housing.
Electrostatic discharge!
Risk of destruction of electronics in Euro-card format.
▶▶ Keep the electronics in their antistatic packaging until they are installed and
observe the notes on top of the packaging when unpacking the electronics.
Radiated interference!
Risk of malfunction.
▶▶ The distance to radio sources must be sufficiently large (>> 1 m).
▶▶ Do not lay solenoid or signal cables near power cables.
▶▶ Shield command and actual value cables. Leave the shield open at one end and
connect it to system ground on the card side.
7.1 Unpacking
NOTICE
Electrostatic discharge!
Risk of destruction of electronics in Euro-card format.
▶▶ Take the card out of the packaging at a protected workplace only.
▶▶ Handle electronics in Euro-card format at the front panel and do not touch any
electrical components.
Suitable card holders are open card holders VT3002-1-2X/... (see RE 29928)
Electronics in the form of Electronic modules are offered in various forms, which are intended for DIN rail
modules mounting in control cabinets with vertical installation position. The dimensions are
given in the respective data sheet.
▶▶ Make sure that the minimum clearance given in the data sheet is adhered to in
order to ensure sufficient circulation of air to the ventilation slots.
On modules of types VT-MUXA, VT-MSFA1 and VT-MRMA1 foot catches with spring
are provided for fixation of the module housing.
By snapping the housing of the these modules on a conductive mounting rail, the
earth connection is established. This constitutes the HF grounding of the electronic
modules.
▶▶ Let the electronic module snap in on the mounting rail. The foot catch (spring-
applied) prevents the module housing from loosening from the mounting rail.
▶▶ To loosen the module, push the foot catch downwards.
All other electronic modules can be snapped onto the mounting rail without any
tools and can be removed in the same way.
1.1.6 Shield
For signal cables, use only cables with a copper braid shield. Connect the cable
shield on a large area to the metalized plug-in connector housing and one side to
the electronics. This is achieved by pushing the shield back and clamping the cable
under the strain relief.
▶▶ Cables should only have the number of wires actually required. If this is
impossible, connect the wires with each other and connect them to ground on
one side in the control cabinet.
8 Commissioning
NOTICE
Uncontrolled plugging and unplugging of connectors!
The device might be destroyed.
▶▶ Before plugging or unplugging connectors into or from the device, disconnect
