eView BOX internal cabinet control panel
Panorama of the solution and its functions
The eView BOX internal cabinet control panel lets you display,
set, and manage all of the machine or system automation
data. The use of an Intel ATOM low-consumption processor,
plus an extremely efcient design (no fans or moving parts),
eliminates all maintenance. The processor can run at either
1 GHz or 1.3 GHz.
The controller has several communication ports (USB,
Ethernet, RS232, RS485 and CAN) and different protocols
(Ethercat (Master), GDNET (Master), Modbus TCP/IP
(Master\Slave), CANopen (Master), Modbus RTU (Master/
Slave)).
The 2 GB internal mass memory can be expanded with SD
cards.
Programming is done with a single development tool: GF_
Project VX, which ensures complete and fast management
of application software by means of the ve standard
IEC61131-3 languages and a powerful graphic editor.
In combination with I/Os, eView BOX completes the
management and control of process and automation. It
manages sequences and work processes, and sets and
displays data and connectivity.
In addition, there is a series of specic application templates,
user-friendly and easily customizable, for the plastics and
heat treatment industries.
Applications:
• Plastic Extrusion
• Heat treatment
• Metal
Main characteristics:
• One programming environment.
• IP20 protection level
• wide range of communication ports and protocols

Main power supply
The system is powered with ONE (1) power supply as shown in gure 8.
To power the system correctly, make sure that:
• The power supply has the power needed to run the system
and any additional resources connected to it.
• Ground the power supply (GND) with a wire that is straight and
as short as possible (PE).
• Ground the eView BOX ground terminal and the with a
wire that is straight and as short as possible (PE).
• Insert the ferrites into the power supply cables as close as
possible to the eView BOX Control Panel.
• The system power supply line must have a different path
from the plant and machine power cables.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
Assembly Control Panel
Hole dimensions
For correct installation, observe the dimensions of the
templates shown in the illustration.
Protection against inltrations of
water
The internal cabinet control panel offers an IP20 protection
level.
If the product has to be used in an environment in which a
protection level higher than IP20 is required, this must be
guaranteed by the cabinet that hosts the product itself.
Vibration
The internal cabinet control panel can support vibrations:
• from 5 to 9 Hz: sinusoidal 3.5 mm constant;
• from 9 to 150 Hz: sinusoidal with acceleration equal to
1 G
Should the device be mounted on a support that exceeds
these limits it is necessary to envisage a system for the
suspension and mitigation of the vibrations.
Minimum spaces for ventilation
The temperature of the compartment that houses the internal
cabinet control panel must not exceed 55°C.
Figure 2 free spaces for ventilation show the minimum free
distances recommended in the installation of the device in a
closed compartment
Positioning
The internal cabinet control panel has to be positioned in
order to guarantee the following conditions:
• If necessary, screen direct rays, using an antiglare
shutter for example;
• there must be no sudden temperature changes;
• there must be a low explosion risk: it can be connected to
elements that operate in environments with a hazardous
atmosphere (ammable or explosive) only through
appropriate and suitable types of interface, compliant to
the safety standards in force;
• low presence of magnetic elds.

Dimensions in mm
Attention: the panel on which the internal
cabinet control panel is mounted has to have
the following characteristics:
• be sufciently stiff and strong so that it does
not bend during use;
• be between 1 and 6 mm thick, to allow the
fastening of the device with the terminals
supplied.

Figure 12 - Installation on DIN track
Fastening
The internal cabinet control panel can be installed in two
ways:
• horizontal on DIN 35 mm track, Fig.12.
• vertical, Fig.13.
• Horizontal mounting:
Install the 2 brackets for the DIN 35 track as shown in Fig.12.
Fasten the product and press hard to complete the operation,
rotating downwards.
• Vertical mounting:
Prepare the M5 threaded holes, done with the template as
shown in Fig.11, position the product and screw in place as
shown in Fig.13.
Warning: install locking washers to prevent the screws from
loosening!

Power
The eView BOX internal cabinet control panel must be
connected to a 24 Vdc power supply unit.
The same 24 VDC power supply can feed other devices as
well. Make sure that the current issued by the power supply
is higher than the total maximum current absorbed by all the
devices connected.
230 VAC
24 VDC
-
+
Figure 16 - eViewLT power
Considering that the device has no switch, it is necessary to
install one before it, with a protective fuse.
The switch has to be positioned in the immediate vicinity of
the device and be easy for the operator to reach.
For the 24 Vdc power supply, use a separate line from that
used for electromechanical power devices such as relays,
contactors, solenoids, etc.
If there are considerable changes in the mains voltage, use a
voltage stabiliser.
Near to high frequency generators or arc welders, use
adequate grid lters.
Connect the power cables to the power connector.
Assemble the ferrite (supplied) as close as possible to the
device to limit its susceptibility to electromagnetic noise
(gure 17).
The 24 Vdc power cables must follow a separate route from
the power cables of the system or the machine.
Figure 17 - eView BOX power connection
Attention: make sure that the earth connection
is efcient. A non-existent or inefcient earth
connection can make the operation of the
device unstable, due to excessive environmental
disturbance.
In particular, check that:
• the voltage between ground and earth is < 1 V;
• the ohm resistance is < 6 Ω.
• the wire is as short as possible and without
curls
KEY & LED
With this RJ45 connector, the port provides a connection for
Gefran keyboards. Up to 128 keys and up to 64 LEDs can be
managed. Communication uses the USB 2.0 standard.
Connection with keyboards is straight point to point.
Maximum cable length: 5 meters.

USB
The USB ports let you connect external devices conforming
to the USB standard.
The connectors are Type A and the ports support the USB
2.0 standards, with speed up to 480 Mbit/s.
The ports can deliver 500 mA current at 5 VDC to power
external USB devices. The USB cable can have a maximum
length of 5 meters.
Use approved USB 2.0 cables.
Logging from panel into the controller’s USB port is possible
through the carry-over cable (separately sortable). In order
to set the grip of this cable, the thickness of the panel in the
chosen position mustn’t be higher than 2 mm.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port lets you connect the controller to a
computer or a corporate LAN or, if the product has the option,
to an ETHERCAT network.

Figure 19 - Straight and crossover Ethernet cables
For the connection, use a CAT6 UTP cable or superior, You
can also use a CAT5e cable (only for ETHERCAT).
The maximum length of the Ethernet cable is 100 metres.
Do not run the Ethernet cable alongside the machine power
cables, to avoid interference with data transmission.
The RJ45 socket has two LEDs. When the Ethernet connection
is active, the green LED stays permanently lit; when data is
being transmitted, the yellow LED ashes
RS232
The RS232 port is optional. Considering that the RS232 port
is not insulated, it is necessary to disconnect the power to
the Integrated Controller and internal cabinet control panel
and to the device to be connected before connecting them.
The connection cable must be screened and not exceed a
length of 3metres. Tighten the cable connector to that of the
controller using the special screws.

Do not connect any lters other than the ones
described.
The RS485 connection can be used successfully over
long distances and in environments characterised by
considerable disturbance.
The maximum length of the cable depends on the
transmission speed, as shown in gure 22.
