Foreword
All operator panels are developed to satisfy the demands of human-machine
communication. Built-in functions such as displaying and controlling text,
dynamic indication, time channels, alarm and recipe handling are included.
The operator panel works primarily in an object-oriented way, making it easy to
understand and use. Configuration is carried out on a PC using the iX Developer
configuration tool. The project can then be transferred and stored in the operator
panel itself.
Various types of automation equipment such PLCs, servos or drives can be
connected to the operator panels. In this manual, the term “the controller” refers
to the connected equipment.
This manual explains how to install the operator panel. Please refer to the
iX Developer reference manual for further information.

Safety Precautions
1SafetyPrecautions
Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of the operator panel must read
and understand this installation manual.
1.1 General
•Read the safety precautions carefully.
•Check the delivery for transportation damage. If damage is found, notify the
supplier as soon as possible.
•Do not use the operator panel in an environment with high explosive hazards.
•The supplier is not responsible for modified, altered or reconstructed
equipment.
•Use only parts and accessories manufactured according to specifications of
the supplier.
•Read the installation and operating instructions carefully before installing,
using or repairing the operator panel.
•Neverallowfluids,metalfilingsorwiringdebristoenteranyopeningsinthe
operator panel. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
•Only qualified personnel may operate the operator panel.
•Storing the operator panel where the temperature is lower/higher than
recommended in this manual can cause the LCD display liquid to
congeal/become isotopic.
•The LCD display liquid contains a powerful irritant. In case of skin contact,
wash immediately with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, hold the eye
open,flushwithplentyofwaterandgetmedicalattention.
•Thefiguresinthismanualservesanillustrativepurpose. Becauseofthemany
variables associated with any particular installation, the supplier cannot
assume responsibility for actual use based on the figures.
•The supplier neither guarantees that the operator panel is suitable for your
particular application, nor assumes responsibility for your product design,
installation or operation.
•It is recommended to turn on and shut down the operator panel at least once
before installing any components/cards or before connecting the operator
panel to external devices, like for example serial devices.
1.2 ULandcULInstallation
•This equipment is suitable for use in Class 2 non-hazardous locations only.
[Combinations of equipment in your system are subject to investigation by
the local authority having jurisdiction at the time of installation].
•All devices have to be supplied by a Class 2 power supply.

Additional Installation Tips

When experiencing communication problems in for example noisy environments
or when operating close to temperature limits, the following recommendations
are to be noticed.

The operator panel’s mounting clamps do not provide a secure grounding
connection between the panel and the device cabinet, see 1 in drawing above.
1. Connect a 2.5 mm2wire between the operator panel’s quick-connect plinth
and the panel’s chassis, see 2 in drawing above.
2. Connect a 6 mm2or 4 mm2wire or grounding braid between the operator
panel’s chassis and the closest grounding point on the door, see 3 in drawing
above.
3. Connect a strong but short grounding braid between the door and the device
cabinet, see 4 in drawing above.
4. Twist the cables onto the 24 V DC feed, see 5 in drawing above. Minimum
cross-section of the cable is 2.5 mm2.
2 turns around the ferrite core provide 4 times the suppression of 1 turn.
3 turns around the ferrite core provide 9 times the suppression of 1 turn.
A ferrite core suppresses disturbances to the 24 V feed, see 6 in drawing above.

In some industrial units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to the
chassis via a capacitor, see 1 in drawing above.
The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis, see 2 in
drawing above.
1. Check whether the other Ethernet unit has its shield directly grounded or
grounded via a capacitor.
Note:
Inmanycases,connectingtheshieldedEthernetcablingtothechassisatbothendsis
inappropriate. Humorgroundingloopscanoccur. Unshieldedcablingmayevenresult
infewercommunicationerrors.
BeijerElectronics, MAEN097C 19

Additional Installation Tips
A good solution may be to use a shielded Ethernet cable, but to connect the shield
at one end only.
One option is to break the shield, see 3 in drawing above.
A more elegant method is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling with a piece of
unshielded Ethernet cable, see 4 in drawing above.
The shield can be grounded via an external 0.1 μF/250 V plastic capacitor, see 5 in
drawing above. This will connect the HF transients to ground.
