4 How to Mimic the PanelMate Readout Template with Vijeo Designer 8000DB0709 Safety Information 04/2010 Qualified Personnel Before You Begin For the protection of personnel and equipment, a qualified person must perform the procedures detailed in this bulletin. A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of this electrical equipment and the installation, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. Refer to the most current release of NFPA 70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, for safety training requirements. In addition, the person must be: Able to read, interpret, and follow the instructions and precautions in this data bulletin and the other documentation referenced. Able to use the required tools listed in this data bulletin in a safe and correct manner. Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operation guarding. Lack of effective point-of-operation guards can result in serious injury to the operator.. WARNING UNGUARDED MACHINERY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY Do not use this software and related automation equipment on equipment which does not have point-of-operation protection. Do not reach into machinery during operation. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of industrial processes. The type or model of automation equipment suitable for each application will vary depending on factors such as the control function required, degree of protection required, production methods, unusual conditions, and government regulations. In some applications, more than one processor may be required, as when backup redundancy is needed. Only the user can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during setup, operation, and maintenance of the machine; therefore, only the user can determine the correct automation equipment and the related safeties and interlocks to be used. When selecting automation and control equipment and related software for a particular application, refer to the applicable local and national standards and regulations. The National Safety Council s Accident Prevention Manual (nationally recognized in the United States of America) also provides much useful information. In some applications, such as packaging machinery, additional operator protection such as point-of-operation guarding must be provided. This is necessary if the operator s hands and other parts of the body are free to enter the pinch points or other hazardous areas and serious injury can occur. Software products alone cannot protect an operator from injury. For this reason, the software cannot be substituted for, or take the place of, point-of-operation protection. 4

5 8000DB0709 How to Mimic the PanelMate Readout Template with Vijeo Designer 04/2010 Safety Information Ensure that the appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-of-operation protection have been installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All interlocks and safeties related to point-of-operation protection must be coordinated with the related automation equipment and software programming. NOTE: Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for point-of-operation protection is outside the scope of the Function Block Library, System User Guide, or other implementation referenced in this documentation. Start-up and Test Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation after installation, test the system to ensure that the equipment is operating correctly. Allow enough time for a complete test. CAUTION EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD Verify that all installation and set up procedures have been completed. Before operational tests are performed, remove all blocks or other temporary holding means used for shipment from all component devices. Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury, or equipment damage. Perform all start-up tests recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment documentation for future references. Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments. Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and grounds, except those grounds installed according to local regulations (according to the National Electrical Code in the U.S.A., for instance). If high-potential voltage testing is necessary, follow recommendations in the equipment documentation to prevent accidental equipment damage. Before energizing equipment: Remove tools, meters, and debris from equipment. Close the equipment enclosure door. Remove ground from incoming power lines. Perform all start-up tests recommended by the manufacturer. 5

6 How to Mimic the PanelMate Readout Template with Vijeo Designer 8000DB0709 Safety Information 04/2010 Operation and Adjustments User Comments The following precautions are from the NEMA Standards Publication ICS (English version prevails): Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or in the selection and rating of components, there are hazards that can be encountered if such equipment is improperly operated. It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce unsatisfactory or unsafe operation. Always use the manufacturer s instructions as a guide for functional adjustments. Personnel who have access to these adjustments should be familiar with the equipment manufacturer s instructions and the machinery used with the electrical equipment. Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator should be accessible to the operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to prevent unauthorized changes in operating characteristics. We welcome your comments about this bulletin.
