1.2 Warning signs used

WARNING

Warning of serious personal injury.

Death or serious irreversible injuries may result.

CAUTION

Warning of personal injury.

Slight reversible injuries may result.

NOTE

Warning of damage to property.

2 Safety instructions

2.1 General

These instructions contain texts and figures concerning the correct handling of the device and must be read before installation or use.

Observe the operating instructions. Non-observance of the instructions, operation which is not in accordance with use as prescribed below, wrong installation or incorrect handling can seriously affect the safety of operators and machinery.

2.2 Target group

These instructions are intended for authorised persons according to the EMC and low-voltage directives. The device must only be installed, connected and put into operation by a qualified electrician.

2.3 Electrical connection

Disconnect the device externally before handling it. If necessary, also disconnect any independently supplied output load circuits.

If the device 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 voltage 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 device must also comply with the SELV criteria (safety extra-low voltage, safe electrical isolation from other electric circuits).

If the supplied SELV voltage is externally grounded (SELV becomes PELV), the responsibility lies with the user and the respective national installation regulations must be complied with. All statements in this document refer to the device the SELV voltage of which is not grounded.

The connections may only be supplied with the signals indicated in the technical data and/or on the device label and only the approved accessories of ifm electronic gmbh may be connected.

2.4 Tampering with the device

In case of malfunctions or uncertainties please contact the manufacturer. Any tampering with the device can seriously affect the safety of operators and machinery. This is not permitted and leads to the exclusion of any liability and warranty claims.

3 Functions and features

The freely programmable controllers of the "BasicController" and "BasicController ^plus " series are rated for use under difficult conditions (e.g. extended temperature range, strong vibration, intensive EMC interference). They are suitable for direct installation in mobile vehicles.

By means of the application software the user can configure the inputs and outputs to adapt to the respective application. The controllers can be used as CAN controller, CANopen master or intelligent I/O module. ( 8 Technical data).

Application-specific extensions and adaptations are possible in conjunction with additional products of the modular Basic series.
