3 Function and System Design
3.1 Function
ControlCare SPC350 is an industrial PC with preinstalled operating system, Internet Explorer and
P View Server software. The device can also be used as a P View client or Web-client. It is supplied
as part of a packaged solution that also includes a P View SCADA application.
The P View SCADA application acquires process data from the system network via OPC server. The
data is then visualized in various HMI pages that are designed according to customer specifications.
Since P View supports a client-server architecture, the HMI pages can be viewed in every P View
client connected to the system.
The P View client or P View Web-client and the P View server communicate via Ethernet in
Intranet/Internet, which can be protected with firewalls or other safety mechanisms. This allows
safe, worldwide access to the HMI pages of the P View server.
Depending upon user requirements, the P View client is automatically started and the connection
to the server established when the Panel PC is switched on. It is also possible to select the HMI
pages that are to be displayed at a particular client. Operation and navigation is via the touchscreen.
3.2 System design
Fig. 3-1 shows a monitoring system with the 19" ControlCare Panel PC acting as P View server.
Process values are collected from the system and made available to the P View clients running in
the other stations. The Web-client can be installed in an internal or external network.

4 Mechanical Installation
4.1 Location
ControlCare Panel PCs are designed for use in industrial environments and can be mounted in
racks, cabinets, cabinet doors, consoles or control panels. They are approved for use in closed rooms.
When installing, please observe the specifications in Chapter 7, Technical Data.
4.1.1 Temperature
The Panel PC may not be subjected to direct sunlight or other source of light.
Before installing or commissioning:
• Allow the device enough time to adapt to room temperature.
• If there is any danger of condensation, make sure that the device is absolutely dry before
switching it on.
4.1.2 Ventilation
The temperature of the surrounding air during operation may not exceed +45°C (110°F). It is
important that the device does not overheat during operation.
• Ventilation slits at the top and bottom of the housing allow air to circulate and cool the device
during operation. Ensure that these slits are always free.
• If the device is mounted in a panel, housing etc., it is important that there is no accumulation
of heat.
• Ensure that there is sufficient volume for the exchange of air within cabinets or consoles. The
clearance around the sides of the Panel PC must be min. 50 mm (2"), at the back min. 20 mm
(0.8").
• In the case of closed industrial housings, care should be taken that the air inside can circulate.
The maximum permissible temperature for such a constellation is dependent on the ability of
the housing to conduct heat and the circulation of the air inside. In all cases it must be ensured
that the temperature of the surrounding air does not exceed +45°C (110°F).
• For the 19" monitor, the filter mat must be cleaned or exchanged from time to time.

4.2.2 Fastening and sealing
Eight threaded post bolts FHS-M5-25 (PEM) on the rear of the front panel are used to fasten the
monitor in place. A 4 mm (0.2") dia. cellular rubber gasket in a machined 2 mm (0.1") groove
provides the seal.
• The cut-out for installation should be selected such that it is stabilized by the bracing in the
cabinet or panel. If necessary, bracing must be installed.
• Degree of protection IP 65 is attained only for plate thickness of 2 mm (0.1") or greater. It must
also be insured that the panel is correctly installed by skilled personnel using the M5 nuts
provided and that the rubber gasket is properly seated.

5 Electrical Installation
ControlCare Panel PC SPC350 with 15" monitor or 19" monitor is an "IT system" in accordance
with EN 60950, with supply voltage of 24 VDC or 230 VAC respectively.
5.1 General precautions
Connection for interference free operation:
• The EMC approval requires that signal connections are made with shielded cables and metal
connectors only.
• To ensure optimal electrical shielding, all plugged connections are to be screwed or locked into
position.
• Signal cables may not be laid in the same cable trays as power cables.
• Before commissioning the system, check all cable connections.
• Ensure that the permissible values for voltages and signals are upheld.
Safe discharge of electrical disturbances:
• Connect the Panel PC and cabinet by the shortest possible route to a central earth.
• Ensure good electrical connection between Panel PC and cabinet (low-impedance).
• Use an earth connection conductor of minimum 2.5 mm² (0.1 in2) diameter.
Special precautions for 230 VAC devices:
• Connect the Panel PC to a socket with a ground contact.
• To disconnect the Panel PC from the power supply, pull out the plug.
• Where a building power socket is used, check that it is easily accessible and as near as possible
to the Panel PC.
• For cabinet mounting, a central circuit-breaker must be provided.
• The plug on the power cord is classified as a circuit-breaker as per EN 60950.
• Pull out the plug before opening the device.
Special precautions for 24 VDC devices:
• The panel PC may be connected to a safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuit only.
• The circuit transformer must fulfil the pertinent standards.
