Protection against inltrations of
water
The Integrated Controller and Operator Panel oers, rst of
all, a degree of protection of IP65. It is therefore possible to
install the device in particularly dusty environments or areas
subject to splashes of water without problems:
• the compartment in which the device is housed also has
to be dust and waterproof;
• the panel on which the device is installed must be per-
fectly smooth and at on the front;
• the hole in the panel must scrupulously respect the di-
mensions indicated;
• the device has to be fastened tightly to the panel, to
allow the gasket tted at the back to ensure water tight-
ness.
Vibrations
The Integrated Controller and Operator Panel can support
vibrations up to 150 Hz:
• 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 su-
spension and mitigation of the vibrations.
Minimum spaces for ventilation
The temperature of the compartment that houses the Inte-
grated Controller and Operator Panel must not exceed
50 °C. Figure 3 – Free spaces for ventilation shows the mini-
mum free distances recommended in the installation of the
device in a closed compartment.
Positioning
The Integrated Controller and Operator Panel has to be posi-
tioned in order to guarantee the following conditions:
• the screen must not be directly lit by the sun or particu-
larly bright light sources.
• If necessary, screen direct rays, using an antiglare shut-
ter 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 hazar-
dous atmosphere (ammable or explosive) only through
appropriate and suitable types of interface, compliant to
the safety standards in force;
• low presence of magnetic elds

Figure 7 - Assembly of seal, metal bracket and terminal connection
Figure 6 - Position and angulation
The angulation to choose also depends on the position of the
controller compared to the operator, as shown in gure 6.
Fastening to the panel
Fit the die-cut rubber seal in the back of the Integrated Con-
troller and Operator (gure 7).
The seal, supplied as standard, is essential to guarantee
IP65-rated protection.

Power
The Integrated Controller and Operator Panel must be con-
nected to a 24 Vdc power supply unit.
The same 24 Vdc power supply can feed several devices
(controller and CAN-IO modules).
Make sure that the current issued by the power supply is
higher than the total maximum current absorbed by all the
devices connected.
Figure 10 - GF_VEDO SL 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 ade-
quate grid lters.
Connect the power cables to the power connector. Fit the
cylindrical nucleus in ferrite, supplied with the product, as
close as possible to the device to limit the susceptibility of
the device to electromagnetic disturbance (gure 11).
The 24 Vdc power cables must follow a separate route from
the power cables of the system or the machine.

Attention: make sure that the earth connection is
ecient. A non-existent or inecient earth con-
nection can make the operation of the device
unstable, due to excessive environmental.
In particular, check that:
• the voltage between ground and earth is < 1 V;
• the ohm resistance is < 6 Ω.
CAN
Connect the cable for the CAN eld bus (CANopen protocol).
The CAN bus connects the various CAN devices, such as
the CAN-IO modules, to the Integrated Controller and / or
Operator Panel.
Considering that the CAN port is opto-isolated, it is not ne-
cessary to disconnect the power to the device before con-
necting it.
For the wiring of the line, use an approved cable.
Fasten the cable connector to that of the controller with the
appropriate screws.

Figure 12 - CAN bus line termination
The line termination is not tted in the controller.
It is therefore necessary to t two terminations
(resistor 120 Ω, ¼ W, 5%) at the ends of the CAN
bus, as shown in gure 12.
Note: If the last device of the CAN bus is a CAN-IO module,
it is possible to activate the termination in the module with
the appropriate switches (see the CAN-IO documentation).
Ethernet
If necessary, connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
RJ45 port.
The Ethernet port allows connection of the Integrated Con-
troller and Panel to a computer or to a company LAN net-
work.
The connection cable to use (either straight or crossover)
depends on the type of device that has to be connected.
For example, to directly connect a PC it is necessary to use
a crossover cable.

It is possible to directly access the USB port of the controller
from the panel using the transfer cable (accessory to order
separately).
To t the socket of this cable, the panel thickness, in the
position chosen, should not exceed 2 mm.
SD Card
The SD Card slot is optional and allows use of the SD Card
mass memories to store data and applications.
The SD Card can be used and removed at will.
Before removing it, make sure that there are no writing ope-
rations in progress.
RS232
The RS232 port is optional.
Considering that the RS232 port is not insulated, it is ne-
cessary to disconnect the power to the Integrated Controller
and Operator Panel and to the device to be connected be-
fore connecting them.
The connection cable must be screened and not exceed a
length of 5 metres.
Tighten the cable connector to that of the controller using
the special screws.
