Introduction
Introduction
Please read the introduction carefully. You will then find it easier to use the manual and this will save
time.
The S5-95F is a failsafe programmable controller for the lower and mid performance ranges. It is for
use wherever safety is the first priority and where potential dangers must be avoided. In order to use
the controller to its best advantage you require detailed information.
In this manual we have attempted to present the necessary information as completely and as well
organized as possible. Certain information is repeated in various chapters so that you do not have to
leaf through the manual to find what you need.
On the following pages of this introduction you will find information that will make it easier for you to
use the manual. This section explains how the manual is organized.
