Foreword
All BoX2 devices are developed to satisfy the demands of human-machine communication.
Configuration is carried out on a PC using iX Developer software. The project can then be transferred
and stored in the device itself. Various types of automation equipment such as PLCs, servos or
drives can be connected to the device. In this manual, the term “the controller” refers to the
connected equipment. This manual explains how to install the device. Please refer to the iX
Developer reference manual for further information.

1. Safety Precautions
Both the installer and users of the BoX2 device must read and understand this 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 device 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
device.
• Never allow fluids, metal filings or wiring debris to enter any openings in the device. This may
cause fire or electrical shock.
• Only qualified personnel may operate the device.
• This is an OPEN-TYPE device and should therefore be installed in an enclosure to prevent
unqualified personnel from operating it.
• The figures in this manual serve an illustrative purpose. Because of the many variables associated
with any particular installation, the supplier cannot assume responsibility for actual use based on
the figures.
• The supplier neither guarantees that the device is suitable for your particular application, nor
assumes responsibility for your product design, installation or operation.

6. Additional Installation Tips
When experiencing communication problems in noisy environments or when operating close to
temperature limits, the following recommendations are to be noticed.
6.1. Grounding the Device
1
2

5350
Door
Box2 device
Ferrite core
Mounting plate in the cabinet
Power supply
24 V DC
The mounting clamps of the BoX2 device do not provide a secure grounding connection between the
device and the device cabinet, see 1 in drawing above. To ground the device:
1. Connect a wire, that is sized correctly according to local electrical codes, between the quick-
connect terminal connector on the device and the chassis of the device, see 2 in drawing above.
2. Connect a wire or grounding braid, that is sized correctly according to local electrical codes,
between the chassis of the device 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.
NOTE
The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area.
A long, thin grounding wire has a very high impedance (resistance) at high
frequencies and does not guide disturbances to the ground.
Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area.
A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better. The best is a short,
thick grounding braid.
