Legislations and Standards
Read this section to familiarize yourself with related legislation and standards
information. Relevant international standards include the following:
• IEC 61508 (SIL 1-3)
• IEC 61131-2
• IEC 60204-1
• IEC 61000-6-2
• IEC 61000-6-4
• IEC 62061
• ISO 13849-1
The modules received the DeviceNet Safety Conformance Test certification from
ODVA, when product is marked.
ATTENTION: As serious injury may occur due to loss of required
safety function, follow these safety precautions.
• Do not use test outputs of the modules as safety outputs.
• Do not use Ethernet, DeviceNet, or ControlNet standard I/O data or
explicit message data as safety data.
• Do not use LED status indicators on the I/O modules for safety
operations.
• Do not connect loads beyond the rated value to the safety outputs.
• Wire the POINT Guard I/O modules properly so that 24V DC line
does not touch the safety outputs accidentally or unintentionally.
• Clear previous configuration data before connecting devices to the
network.
• Set unique network node addresses before connecting devices to
the network.
• Perform testing to confirm that device configuration and operation
is correct before starting system operation.
• When replacing a device, configure the replacement device
suitably and confirm that it operates correctly.
• When installing or replacing modules, clear any previous
configuration before connecting input or output power to the
device.
