Foreword
All iX 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 iX 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.

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 chassis, see 2 in drawing above.
2. Connect a 6 or 4 mm2wire or grounding braid between the 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.
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.
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.
You can ground the shield via an external 0.1 uF/250 V plastic capacitor, see 5 in
drawing above. This will connect the HF transients to the ground.

Additional Installation Tips
6.3 ToAchieveBetterEMCProtection
•Initially, use the original cabling from Beijer Electronics primarily.
•Use shielded cables for RS232 communication.
•Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for RS422 and RS485.
•Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link,
CAN, Device Net etc.
•Install and connect according to applicable specifications for the relevant bus
standard.
•Use shielded cabling for Ethernet, preferably with foil + braided shield.
•D-sub covers should be shielded, and the shield should be connected to the
cover 360 ° where the cable comes in.
•Connect the shield at both ends.

With longer distances, there is a risk that the ground potential may be different.
In that case, the shield should only be connected at one end. A good alternative
is to connect the other end of the shield to the ground via a 0.1 uF/250 V plastic
capacitor. Both ends are then connected to the ground in terms of HF, but only
connected to the ground at one end in terms of LF, thus avoiding the 50 Hz
grounding loops.

5353
1. Use an EMC cable gland or regular plastic cable gland, remove the outer jacket
and connect the shield to the installation plate with a 360 ° metal cable clamp.
2. Place the 24 V DC and communications cabling in one cable trunk/cable duct
and 230/380 V AC in another. If the cables need to be crossed, cross them at
90 ° only. Avoid combining the cabling for stronger 24 V DC outputs with
the communication cabling.
Ferrite cores that are snapped onto the shielded cabling may remove minor
disturbances. Large ferrite pieces that are snapped onto unshielded cabling and
where the wires go 2-4 times around the cores are approximately 5-25 times more
efficient.

6.4 AmbientTemperature
The maximum ambient temperature for the operator panel is provided in the
specifications. The ambient temperature refers to the temperature in the device
cabinet which cools the panel’s electronics.

Inmostcases,theambienttemperaturefortheoperatorpanelissignificantly
higher than the device cabinet’s ambient temperature.
If the cabinet is tall and there are a number of heat-generating devices, the
temperature at the top of the cabinet will be considerably higher than the
theoretical temperature increase that would be expected. All electronics are
sensitivetoheat. Thelifespanofanelectro
lytic capacitor is cut in half with an 8-10
° increase in temperature. A 15-20 ° temperature increase results in a quarter of the
lifespan etc.
Rittal has a good program for estimating the anticipated average temperature in
the cabinet as well as a large program for controlling the temperature in the device
cabinet.
An enamel-coated steel cabinet has a radiant heat value of 5.5 W/m2and degrees
C.
Installing a fan inside the cabinet will even out the temperature, while moving air
provides considerably better cooling than still air. A suitable fan is a 120 x 120 mm
axial fan, available in 24 V DC, 115 and 230 V AC.
Installthefansothatitsit
s in the cooler area and will blow cold air against the
operator panel. If the fan is mounted at the top and sucks air upwards, the fan’s
ambient temperature will be higher = shorter lifespan.
Agoodfanwithaball-bearingmountinghasanexpectedlifespanofatleast
40,000 hours (not a guaranteed lifespan) at 40 °C. This corresponds to at least 4
years of continuous use. If a thermostat is installed, the fan only needs to come
on when needed.
Large graphic terminals draw only one fifth of the current when the background
lighting is off. The loss effect drops from e.g. 25 W to only 5 W.
The operator panel’s loss effect = supply voltage x current. Virtually no power goes
to external users and no loss effects due to inputs.
