Foreword
All 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 . 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.

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, MAEN118A 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.
