2 Systemised marking Systemised marking for optimised processes Our co-ordinated complete system Professional, industrial marking in line with the IEC :2005 standard is essential for faultless operation and reliable maintenance of industrial facilities. Weidmüller calls this systemised marking and offers more than the norm: a perfectly co-ordinated product range for optimised processes. Software: intuitive to use and tailored to your requirements. Import, edit and manage data with ease with the M-Print PRO software. Do you need marking systems for a whole range of different applications? Our all-in-one solutions are intelligent and display real future viability: convenient data organisation, intelligent functions and marking conforming to standards make our systems unique /2014

3 Systemised marking Your marking needs One of the main requirements of a marking system is that it clearly shows how your components are configured. This includes a precise print image, convenient handling and the guarantee of usability in an industrial environment. The software should provide optimum support during data entry and management. During marker output, the speed should be adapted to your needs. Markers: constructive solutions for all cabinet-related applications. From the shrink sleeve to the metal marker. Printers: laser, ink or thermal transfer. Industrial printing systems for every requirement. Designed with one eye on the future to suit your requirement profile The marking result You will be won over by marking systems from Weidmüller. We don t just offer you a complete, convenient process chain from data entry to ready-for-use markers for your individual cabinet configuration. We offer you marking solutions that are already geared towards the future requirements of progressive automation. This means you are one step ahead of state-of-the-art! /2014.3

4 Colour coding with PrintJet DVNCED Colour coding, only with PrintJet DVNCED Relevant standards specify the need for colour coding in order to clearly identify different components, such as wires or push buttons. Coloured markings can be applied accurately and securely with the PrintJet inkjet printer from Weidmüller, which has a highly superior colour-printing capability. The marking of components, sub-assemblies, devices, wires and connectors within your electrical system means that you will have clear identification throughout its entire life cycle. s a result, service and maintenance work is made significantly easier and potential faults can be quickly located and immediately eliminated. Clear identification of electrical equipment and systems is obligatory, as defined in relevant standards such as DIN EN :2006, entitled Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines - Part 1: General requirements. To ensure that the markings have the best visibility, these and other standards recommend colour coding, in most cases. blue or green, are specified for various other conditions. In addition to the compulsory colour coding, the standard recommends identifying push buttons in the vicinity of the control panel, or preferably directly on the control panel, with [corresponding] symbols [ ] to prevent any confusion. Wherever colours are used to identify wires, use of the colour throughout the length of the wire is recommended, either through the colour of the insulation or through coloured markings at regular intervals, at the ends, or in accessible locations. (DIN EN :2006). gain, defined colours are specified for certain types of conductor in this case, e.g. green/yellow for PE wires or light blue for neutral wires. Fast and accurate recognition of warning and hazard information through colour coding In contrast to black and white printing, colour coding enables faster and more accurate recognition of the type of information that the marking is in place to convey. This is of particular significance when it applies to warning and hazard information. For example, due to its colour symbolism, the colour red indicates: Warning there is a possible hazard here. ccordingly, DIN EN :2006 states that the colour RED [ ] shall be used for EMERGENCY STOP and EMERGENCY OFF controls. Other colours, such as yellow, High definition and in colour In these cases, where colour coding is required, you will benefit from the unique characteristics of our PrintJet DVNCED inkjet printer which delivers high-definition, colour printing of texts, frames, lines, graphics, barcodes, serial numbers and photos. The major advantage is that only white markers are needed and that they can be printed with a total of 256 different colours. marker can be printed using any number of different inks, without having to use individual matte colours. M-Print PRO, our software for printing and ordering labels and markers, can be used /2014

5 Colour coding with PrintJet DVNCED to fully customise each marker before printing it with the PrintJet DVNCED printer. This system requires significantly fewer article numbers than when using colour markers, which are often only available as special orders. The effort involved in ordering and stocking is therefore considerably reduced. This enables standardcompliant coding in a time-saving and cost-efficient manner - for fast and accurate identification. Overview of particular standards which specify or recommend colour coding: DIN EN (Safety of machinery - Electrical equipment of machines - Part 1: General requirements) IEC (Identification of equipment terminals, conductor terminations and wires) IEC (Basic and safety principles for manmachine interface - Identification of wires by colours or alphanumerics) DIN EN (Information technology - Cabling installation - Part 2: Installation planning and practices inside buildings) /2014.5

The function must be guaranteed. The print or colour of the product must be clearly recognisable. Standard: DIN EN ISO ; We would like to point out that the described test procedures are implemented depending on type and application. Owing to the sheer number of possible applications and environmental influences such as moisture, radiation, gases or heat/cold to which the products can be exposed, Weidmüller accepts no liability for the suitability of products in all customer applications. Suitability tests for specific applications must therefore be carried out by the customer. However, Weidmüller will be happy to provide help and advice upon request. Due to the different identification system available on the market, we wish to point out that Weidmüller does not guarantee industrial identification products if the Weidmüller components (markers transparent sleeves ink/toner/colour ink ribbons printing systems) are combined with third-party products, unless Weidmüller has explicitly agreed for the purpose of an individual application /2014
