2 Safety information
2.1 General safety notes
The following safety notes must always be observed regardless of specific application
conditions:
•The device must only be mounted, commissioned, operated, and maintained by
professionally qualified safety personnel.
•Electrical connections with peripheral devices must only be made when the volt‐
age supply is disconnected.
•The device is only to be operated when mounted in a fixed position.
•The device voltage supply must be protected in accordance with the specifications.
•The specified ambient conditions must be observed at all times.
•The electrical connections to peripheral devices must be screwed on correctly.
•The cooling fins or fan - if present - must not be covered or restricted in their
functionality.
•The pin assignment of pre-assembled cables must be checked and adjusted if
necessary.
•These operating instructions must be made available to the operating personnel
and kept ready to hand.
2.2 Intended use
The device is a programmable control and evaluation unit for sensors.
The device also acts as a link between system and plant controls, and the connected
terminal devices. The device is mainly used in an industrial environment in production,
testing, and control. Other applications are possible depending on the device-specific
properties.
The device is programmed on a PC by using the development environment software
SICK AppSpace. Depending on the application, a browser-based, graphical user inter‐
face (HMI) can be created, which provides opportunities defined by the application
developer to influence an application at operator level.
The device connection to the peripherals is established by means of a range of indus‐
trial interfaces.
The device offers various interfaces for controlling, programming, and operating pur‐
poses, which can be activated as necessary via development environments, control
systems (programmable logic controllers), or applications.
However, configuration, programming, and control requires various technical skills,
depending on how the device is connected and used.
2.3 Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica‐
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
•The device does not constitute a safety component in accordance with the respec‐
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
•The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme environmental conditions.
•Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.

2.4 Cybersecurity
Overview
To protect against cybersecurity threats, it is necessary to continuously monitor and
maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity concept. A suitable concept consists of organi‐
zational, technical, procedural, electronic, and physical levels of defense and considers
suitable measures for different types of risks. The measures implemented in this
product can only support protection against cybersecurity threats if the product is used
as part of such a concept.
You will find further information at www.sick.com/psirt, e.g.:
•General information on cybersecurity
•Contact option for reporting vulnerabilities
•Information on known vulnerabilities (security advisories)
