Safety and Reliability 2. Safety and Reliability 2.1. Target group This instruction manual contains all information necessary for the use of the described product (control device, software, etc.) according to instructions. It is written for the personnel of the construction, project planning, service and commissioning departments. For proper understanding and error-free applica- tion of technical descriptions, instructions for use and particu- larly of notes of danger and warning, extensive knowledge of automation technology is compulsory. 2.2.
Reliability Reliability of Kuhnke controllers is brought to the highest pos- sible standards by extensive and cost-effective means in their design and manufacture. These include: - selecting high-quality components, - quality arrangements with our sub-suppliers, - measures for the prevention of static charge during the hand- ling of MOS circuits, - Worst Case dimensioning of all circuits, - inspections during various stages of fabrication, - computer aided tests of all assembly groups and their coefficiency in the circuit, - statistic assessment of the quality of fabrication and of all re- turned goods for immediate taking of corrective action.
Despite these measures, the occurrence of errors in electronic control units - even if most highly improbable - must be taken into consideration. 2 - 1
