Always disconnect the control cabinet from the mains before opening it. Do not plug in or
pull out the system component during operation.

ESD
An electrostatically sensitive device is equipped with electronic components. Due to their
design, electronic components are sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static
electricity. Note the corresponding regulations when handling ESD.

Industrial Security
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary
and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented,please
visit (http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to
cyber threats.

7.2.1 ESD guideline

What does ESD mean?

An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated components. Due to their design,
electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static
electricity. Such electronic components or modules are labeled as electrostatic sensitive
devices.
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
• ESD – Electrostatic sensitive device
• ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as a common international designation
Electrostatic sensitive devices can be labeled with an appropriate symbol.

NOTICE
Damage to ESD from touch
Electrostatic sensitive devices, ESD, can be destroyed by voltages which are far below the
human perception limit. If you touch a component or electrical connections of a module
without discharging any electrostatic energy, these voltages may arise.
The damage to a module by an overvoltage can often not be immediately detected and only
becomes evident after an extended period of operation. The consequences are incalculable
and range from unforeseeable malfunctions to a total failure of the machine or system.
Avoid touching components directly. Make sure that persons, the workstation and the
packaging are properly grounded.

Charge
Every person without a conductive connection to the electrical potential of his/her
surroundings can be electrostatically charged.
The material with which this person comes into contact is of particular significance. The
figure shows the maximum electrostatic voltages with which a person is charged, depending
on humidity and material. These values conform to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-2.

① Synthetic materials
② Wool
③ Antistatic materials such as wood or concrete

NOTICE
Grounding measures
There is no equipotential bonding without grounding. An electrostatic charge is not
discharged and may damage the ESD.
Protect yourself against discharge of static electricity. When working with electrostatic
sensitive devices, make sure that the person and the workplace are properly grounded.

 Technical information
7.2 Directives and declarations

Protective measures against discharge of static electricity

• Disconnect the power supply before you install or remove modules which are sensitive to
ESD.
• Pay attention to good grounding:
– When handling electrostatical sensitive devices, make sure that persons, the
workstation and devices, tools and packaging used are properly grounded. This way
you avoid static discharge.
• Avoid direct contact:
– As a general rule, do not touch electrostatic sensitive devices, except in the case of
unavoidable maintenance work.
– Hold the modules at their edge so that you do not touch the connector pins or
conductor paths. This way, the discharge energy does not reach and damage the
sensitive components.
– Discharge your body electrostatically before you take a measurement at a module. Do
so by touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.
