This description is part of the unit. It contains texts and drawings concerning the correct handling of the controller and must be read before installation or use.
Observe the information of the description. Non-observance of the notes, operation which is not in accordance with use as prescribed below, wrong installation or handling can result in serious harm concerning the safety of persons and plant.
The instructions are for authorised persons according to the EMC and low voltage guidelines. The controllers must be installed and commissioned by a skilled electrician (programmer or service technician).
If the unit is not supplied by the mobile on-board system (12/24 V battery operation) it must be ensured that the external voltage is generated and supplied according to the criteria for safety extra-low voltage (SELV) as this is supplied without further measures to the connected controller, the sensors, and the actuators.
The wiring of all signals in connection with the SELV circuit of the unit must also comply with the SELV criteria (safe extra-low voltage, safe electrical separation from other electric circuits).
If the supplied SELV voltage has an external connection to ground (SELV becomes PELV) the responsibility lies with the user and the respective national regulations for installation must be complied with. All statements in these operating instructions refer to the unit the SELV voltage of which is not grounded.
The terminals may only be supplied with the signals indicated in the technical data or on the unit label and only the approved accessories of ifm electronic gmbh may be connected.
The unit can be operated within a wide temperature range according to the technical specification indicated below. Due to the additional self-heating the housing walls can have high perceptible temperatures when touched in hot environments.
In case of malfunctions or uncertainties please contact the manufacturer. Tampering with the unit can lead to considerable risks for the safety of persons and plant. It is not permitted and leads to the exclusion of any liability and warranty claims.

1. Function and features
The freely programmable controllers of the "CabinetController R 360" series are rated for use under difficult conditions (e.g. extended temperature range, strong vibration, intensive EMC interference).
They are thus suited for direct mounting into machines in mobile and rugged applications. Due to their specification the inputs and outputs are especially rated for this use. Integrated hardware and software functions (operating system) offer high protection of the machine.
The controllers can be used as CANopen master.

The controllers "CabinetController R 360" are not approved for safety-relevant tasks in the field of safety of persons.
2. Programming
The application software can be easily created by the user with the programming system CODESYS according to IEC 61131-3.
In addition to the programming system the complete system manual is required to program the controller.
If this manual is not available, please contact one of the ifm branch offices over-leaf for your free copy. The system manual (pdf format) can also be downloaded from the web (www.ifm.com)..

| Internet | → Data sheet direct → CR0301 → Additional data |
The user is responsible for the safe functioning of the application programs which he creates himself. If necessary, he must additionally obtain an approval according to the corresponding national regulations by the corresponding testing and supervisory organisations.
3. Mounting
The controller is to be mounted in a dry and enclosed environment (e.g. control panel of the driver's cab, separate control boxes etc.).
It is mounted with 4 screws M4 x L.
4. Electrical connection
To protect the whole system (wiring and controller) the individual electric circuits must be protected.

5. Maintenance, repair and disposal
As the Controller does not contain any components which must be maintained by the user, the housing must not be opened. The maintenance of the controller may only be carried out by the manufacturer. The disposal must be carried out according to the corresponding national environmental regulations.
