2 Notes on Safety

2.1 About this chapter

The product has been manufactured according to the accepted rules of current
technology. Even so, there is danger of injury and damage to equipment if the
following chapter and safety instructions of this documentation are not followed.
1. Read these instructions completely before working with the product.
2. Keep this documentation in a location where it is accessible to all users at all
times.
3. Always include the documentation when you pass the product on to third par-
ties.

2.2 Intended use

The AES series bus coupler and AV series valve drivers are electronic components
developed for use in the area of industrial automation technology.
The bus coupler connects I/O modules and valves to the EtherCAT fieldbus sys-
tem. The bus coupler may only be connected to AVENTICS valve drivers and
AVENTICS I/O modules from the AES series. The valve system may also be used
without pneumatic components as a stand-alone system.
The bus coupler may only be actuated via a programmable logic controller (PLC),
a numerical controller, an industrial PC, or comparable controllers in conjunction
with a bus master interface with the fieldbus protocol EtherCAT.
AV series valve drivers are the connecting link between the bus coupler and the
valves. The valve drivers receive electrical information from the bus coupler,
which they forward to the valves in the form of actuation voltage.
