(Main)Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 2-201: Particular requirements for control equipment (IEC 61010-2-201:2013)
Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use - Part 2-201: Particular requirements for control equipment (IEC 61010-2-201:2013)
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows.
1.1.1 Equipment included in scope
Replacement:
This part of IEC 61010 specifies safety requirements and related verification tests for control
equipment of the following types:
– Programmable controllers (PLC and PAC);
– the components of Distributed Control Systems (DCS);
– the components of remote I/O – systems;
– industrial PC (computers) and Programming and Debugging Tools (PADTs);
– Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI);
– any product performing the function of control equipment and/or their associated peripherals, which have as their intended use the control and command of machines, automated manufacturing and industrial processes, e.g. discrete and continuous control. Components of the above named equipment and in the scope of this standard are:
– (auxiliary) stand-alone power supplies;
– peripherals such as digital and analogue I/O, remote-I/O;
– industrial network equipment.
Control equipment and their associated peripherals are intended to be used in an industrial environment and may be provided as open or enclosed equipment. NOTE 1 Control equipment intended also for use in other environments or for other purposes (example; for use in building installations to control light or other electrical installations, or for use on cars, trains or ships) can have additional conformity requirements defined by the safety standard(s) for these applications. These requirements can involve as example: insulation, spacings and power restrictions. NOTE 2 Computing devices and similar equipment within the scope of IEC 60950 (planned to be replaced by IEC 62368) and conforming to its requirements are considered to be suitable for use with control equipment within the scope of this standard. However, some of the requirements of IEC 60950 for resistance to moisture and liquids are less stringent than those in IEC 61010-1:2010, 5.4.4 second paragraph. Control equipment covered in this standard is intended for use in overvoltage category II (IEC 60664-1) in low-voltage installations, where the rated equipment supply voltage does not exceed a.c. 1 000 V r.m.s. (50/60 Hz), or d.c. 1 500 V. NOTE 3 If equipment in the scope of this part is applied to overvoltage category III and IV installations, then the requirements of Annex K of Part 1 apply. The requirements of ISO/IEC Guide 51 and IEC Guide 104, as they relate to this Part, are incorporated herein.
1.1.2 Equipment excluded from scope
Replacement:
This standard does not deal with aspects of the overall automated system, e.g. a complete assembly line. Control equipment (e.g. DCS and PLC), their application program and their associated peripherals are considered as components (components in this context are items which perform no useful function by themselves) of an overall automated system. Since control equipment (e.g. DCS and PLC) are component devices, safety considerations for the overall automated system including installation and application are beyond the scope of this standard. Refer to IEC 60364 series of standards or applicable national/local regulations for electrical installation and guidelines.
1.2.1 Aspects included in scope
Replacement:
The purpose of the requirements of this standard is to ensure that all hazards to the operator, service personnel and the surrounding area are reduced to a tolerable level.

Règles de sécurité pour appareils électriques de mesurage, de régulation et de laboratoire - Partie 2-201: Exigences particulières relatives aux équipements de commande (CEI 61010-2-201:2013)
La CEI 60101-2-201:2013 spécifie l'ensemble des exigences de sécurité relatives aux équipements de commande (par exemple les automates programmables (AP)), aux composants des systèmes à commande distribuée, aux appareils d'E/S et à l'interface homme/machine. Les termes de sécurité d'usage général sont définis dans la CEI 61010-1. Des termes plus spécifiques sont définis dans chaque partie. Cette partie contient les exigences relatives à la sécurité des automates programmables. L'Annexe DD établit une référence croisée entre les articles de la présente norme et ceux de la CEI 61010-1 ou de la CEI 61131-2:2007. Elle a le statut d'une publication fondamentale de sécurité conformément au Guide CEI 104.
Varnostne zahteve za električno opremo za meritve, nadzor in laboratorijsko uporabo - 2-201. del: Posebne zahteve za opremo za nadzor in upravljanje (IEC 61010-2-201:2013)
Ta točka 1. dela se uporablja, razen kot sledi:
1.1.1 Oprema, zajeta v področje uporabe
Nadomestitev:
Ta del standarda IEC 61010 določa zahteve glede varnosti in s tem povezane preskuse opreme
za upravljanje naslednjih vrst:
– programirljivi krmilniki (PLC in PAC);
– komponente porazdeljenih nadzornih sistemov (DCS)
– komponente daljinskih sistemov I/O;
– industrijska računalniška orodja in orodja za programiranje in iskanje napak (PADTs);
– vmesniki človek-stroj (HMI);
– vsak izdelek, ki deluje kot oprema za upravljanje in/ali njegove povezane periferne naprave, namenjene upravljanju in krmiljenju strojev, avtomatiziranih proizvodnih in industrijskih postopkov, npr. diskretno in neprekinjeno krmiljenje. Komponente zgoraj omenjene opreme in v področju uporabe tega standarda so:
– (pomožni) samostojno stoječi električni napajalniki
– periferne naprave, kot so digitalni in analogni I/O, daljinski I/O;
– industrijska omrežna oprema.
Oprema za upravljanje in njene povezane periferne naprave so namenjene uporabi v industrijskem okolju in so lahko na voljo kot odprta ali zaprta oprema. OPOMBA 1: Oprema za upravljanje, ki se uporablja tudi v drugih okoljih ali v druge namene (na primer v inštalacijah zgradb za upravljanje luči ali drugih električnih inštalacijah, ali za uporabo v avtomobilih, vlakih ali na ladjah), ima dodatne zahteve o skladnosti, določene z varnostnimi standardi za omenjene uporabe. Te zahteve lahko na primer zajemajo:izolacijo, razmike in omejitve moči. OPOMBA 2: Računalniške naprave in podobna oprema, ki so vključene v področje uporabe standarda IEC 60950 (zamenjal naj bi ga standard IEC 62368) in so v skladu z njegovimi zahtevami, se smatrajo kot primerne za uporabo z opremo za upravljanje iz področja uporabe tega standarda. Vendar pa so nekatere zahteve standarda IEC 60950 za odpornost na vlago in tekočine manj stroge od zahtev v drugem odstavku točke 5.4.4. standarda IEC 61010-1:2010. Oprema za upravljanje, zajeta v tem standardu, je namenjena uporabi v prenapetostni kategoriji II (IEC 60664-1) v nizkonapetostnih inštalacijah, kjer nazivna napajalna napetost opreme ne presega 1000 V efektivne izmenične napetosti (50/60 Hz), ali 1500 V enosmerne napetosti. OPOMBA 3 Če je za inštalacije prenapetostne kategorije III in IV uporabljena oprema iz področja uporabe tega dela, veljajo zahteve dodatka K 1. dela. Zahteve iz ISO/IEC Guide 51 in IEC Guide 104 so vključene v to besedilo, ker se nanašajo na ta del.
1.1.2 Oprema, izključena iz področja uporabe
Nadomestitev:
Ta standard ne obravnava vidikov v celoti avtomatiziranega sistema, npr. tekočega traka. Oprema za upravljanje (npr. DSC in PLC), njen aplikacijski program in povezane periferne naprave veljajo za komponente (komponente so v tem pomenu deli, ki sami nimajo posebne uporabne funkcije) v celoti avtomatiziranega sistema. Ker je oprema za upravljanje (npr. DCS in PLC) komponentna naprava, so varnostni napotki za v celoti avtomatiziran sistem, vključno z namestitvijo in uporabo, izven področja uporabe tega standarda. Glejte skupino standardov IEC 60364 ali veljavne nacionalne/lokalne predpise za električne inštalacije in smernice.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
