2.1 Intended use
With the CU8210-D004-0200 4G USB stick, Beckhoff Industrial PCs can be equipped with a GSM/UMTS/
LTE modem and subsequently connect to a mobile communication network. The USB stick can also receive
and send text messages using the Short Message Service (SMS).
The 4G USB stick was developed for a work environment that conforms to protection class IP20. This
involves finger protection and protection against solid foreign objects up to 12.5 mm, but not protection
against water. Operation of the devices in wet and dusty environments is not permitted, unless specified
otherwise. The specified limits for electrical and technical data must be adhered to.
The 4G USB stick is used to:
• equip Industrial PCs with an internet connection in rural areas without a comprehensive wired
infrastructure;
• establish a mobile communication connection between devices over long distances,
• or to reach difficult to access machine or plants such as wind turbines more easily. In addition, service
technicians can check the status of a plant with the help of a direct connection to the Device Manager
or a remote connection.
Improper use
The 4G USB stick is not suitable for operation in the following areas:
• areas in which the use of radio devices is prohibited.
• Potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Areas with an aggressive environment, e.g. aggressive gases or chemicals.
• applications that require real-time communication via radio.
2.2 Staff qualification
All operations involving Beckhoff software and hardware may only be carried out by qualified personnel with
knowledge of control and automation engineering. The qualified personnel must have knowledge of the
administration of the Industrial PC and the associated network.
All interventions must be carried out with knowledge of control programming, and the qualified personnel
must be familiar with the current standards and guidelines for the automation environment.

2.3 Safety instructions
The following safety instructions must be followed during installation and working with networks and the
software.
Mobile communication
• Make sure that a minimum distance of 20 cm is maintained to people during operation.
• The USB stick can be impaired in the vicinity of metal constructions or plants that emit electromagnetic
waves. Plan the distances and use the USB stick in such a way that the connection between the USB
stick and the mobile communication network is as unobstructed as possible.
• Do not allow any dust, liquids or vapors that could damage the USB stick to get inside it. Use the USB
stick together with the CU8210-M001-01x0 or CU8210-M002-0100 cabinet dome in order to protect it
against environmental influences.
Working with networks
• Restrict access to all devices to an authorized circle of persons.
• Change the default passwords to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
• Protect the devices with a firewall.
• Apply the IT security precautions according to IEC 62443, in order to limit access to and control of
devices and networks.
