3 Function and System Design
3.1 Function
ControlCare SPC150 is an industrial PC with preinstalled operating system, Internet Explorer and
P View Web-client. It is supplied as part of a packaged solution that also includes a P View SCADA
application installed on a second computer.
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 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, local and
worldwide access to the HMI pages of the P View server. The connection is established by entering
the P View server URL in Internet Explorer - just as in Internet.
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 Web-clients running
in the ControlCare Panel PC SPC150. 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 8, 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.
• 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.
!Note!
• In order to ensure proper ventilation in closed industrial housings, a ventilator kit, which is
mounted on the back of the housing, can be offered as an option.
• If the Panel PC is not mounted vertically, care must be taken that air can circulate properly via
the ventilation slits.

4.1.3 Cut-out
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 screw
clamps provided and that the rubber gasket is properly seated.
• Check that there is enough clearance to remove the panel from the cut-out.
Fig. 4-2 shows the dimensions in mm (in) for the cut-out
Fig. 4-2: Dimensions in mm (in) for the cut-out
4.1.4 Fastening and sealing
Screw clamps are used to fasten the Panel PC in the cut-out. They are seated in the openings
provided for them in the housing.
• Insert the ControlCare Panel PC SPC150 into the cut-out and hold in position.
• Seat the screw clamps in the openings provided for them.
• Fasten the Panel PC in the cut-out by tightening the screws.

5 Electrical Installation
ControlCare Panel PC SPC150 is an "IT system" in accordance with EN 60950, with supply voltage
of 24 VDC.
5.1 General precautions
Connections 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 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.

6 Commissioning and Operation
6.1 Start-up
The operating system Microsoft Windows XP Embedded, Microsoft Internet Explorer and the
P View Web-client are preinstalled on the ControlCare Panel PC SPC150.
The P View server and Web-clients communicate via Ethernet using Internet Explorer. Depending
upon user specifications, the Web-client is started and the connection to the server established
automatically when the Panel PC is switched on. Alternatively, the Web-client connection is made,
as in Internet, by entering the P View server URL in Internet Explorer.
6.2 Operation
Operation and navigation is done with the touchscreen at the front of the Panel PC. Functions are
called and views changed by touching the corresponding buttons and menu bars on the graphical
user interface.
The function and operation of the HMI pages is described in an application-specific operating
manual that is supplied with the associated P View SCADA application.
"Caution
• Do not use metallic or pointed objects to operate the touchscreen - they will damage it.

7 Maintenance
Ventilator, display backlight and battery should be checked for correct function at regular intervals.
7.1 General precautions
"Caution
• The housing need only be opened to exchange the back-up battery. If the display backlight needs
to be replaced, send the unit back to Endress+Hauser.
• Electronic components are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge. For this reason they
must be handled with great care. Instructions on handling can be found in the ESD guidelines.
Should you need to remove the housing:
• Switch off the ControlCare Panel PC SPC150 and disconnect it from the power supply.
• Before working on the components, the electrostatic change on your body must be brought to
the same level as that of the ControlCare Panel PC SPC150 and its components. To this end,
touch the metal housing.
• Do the same for any tools you are using.
• Use a ground strap if you are working with electronic components.
• Do not unpack components and modules until they are really needed.
• Grip components and modules at their edges. Never touch connection pins and condictors.
