You are not permitted to use PN driver source codes or the application examples without SIMATIC, nor are you permitted to pass them on to third parties.

The application examples are not binding and do not claim to be complete regarding configuration, equipment or any eventualities. The application examples do not represent customer-specific solutions. They are only intended to provide support for typical tasks. You are responsible for ensuring that the described products are used correctly. These application examples do not relieve you of your responsibility to use safe practices in application, installation, operation and maintenance processes.
