1.2 Target Audience
This document addresses system planners, configuration engineers, programmers of
automation devices and personnel authorized to implement, operate and maintain the devices
and systems. Specialized knowledge of safety-related automation systems is required.
All staff members (planning, installation, commissioning) must be informed about the risks
and potential consequences resulting from the manipulation of a safety-related automation
system.
Planners and configuration engineers must have additional knowledge about the selection
and use of electrical and electronic safety systems within automated systems, e.g., to prevent
improper connections or faulty programming.
The operator is responsible for qualifying the operating and maintenance personnel and
providing them with appropriate safety instructions.
Only staff members with knowledge of industrial process measurement and control, electrical
engineering, electronics and the implementation of PES and ESD protective measures
may modify or extend the system wiring.
