Installation
4031_en_C PHOENIX CONTACT 9/24
3 Installation
When installing the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… in a enclosure, follow these general rules:
– Verify clearances within the cabinet. Typically, leave at least 5 cm (2 in.) on each side
with 13 cm (5 in.) on the connector side.
– Drill all holes and make all cuts before beginning installation. Be sure to protect already
installed components from shavings during this procedure.
– Supporting panels must be at least 1.9 mm (14 ga.) to provide proper support.
– Make sure that there is adequate space around the heat sink to provide sufficient
cooling.
3.1 Mounting
1. Cut a hole in the enclosure according to the dimensions for the selected display.
Figure 3-1 Panel cutout dimensions
NOTE:
Exceeding the system temperature limits can result in performance degradation of any or
all components.
Install the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… with adequate clearance around the heat sink and provide
a minimum of 0.5 m/s air flow so that ambient air temperatures do not exceed the
operation limits. Insert cooling fan(s) in the enclosure, if necessary.
Connectors and switches must be accessible.

2. Remove the paper seal (1) from the sticky side of the gasket (2) and apply it to the back
side of the bezel (3).
Figure 3-2 Gasket installation
3. Insert the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… through the opening.
4. Insert the screws (1) through the clamps (2).
Figure 3-3 Panel-mounting clamps
5. From the rear of the enclosure, place a clamp in each slot (3) and slide away from the
enclosure panel.
6. Using an alternating pattern, turn each screw clockwise until the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… is
secured in the enclosure panel.
7. Torque each clamp screw to 0.88 Nm.

3.2 Interfaces
Figure 3-4 Connectors and ports (BL2 PPC10 1200 shown)
After mounting the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… in the enclosure, make any necessary cable
connections (see Figure 3-4)
The available connectors are:
– Ethernet (ETH): Two RJ45 connectors allow the computer to communicate on a
10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet network.
– Serial (COM): Three D-SUB 9 serial ports are available for use. The default for all ports
is RS-232, IIRC. Two ports are configurable as either RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.
– USB (USB): USB devices connect using Type A connectors. Two ports are USB 2.0
and one is USB 3.0.

3.2.1 Power connection
A two-wire removable connector is provided for providing power to the BL2 PPC 1201-4/….
Figure 3-5 Power connector
Connect a power source to the included power connector. This connector supports wire
sizes from 0.2 to 2.5 mm² (24 to 12 AWG). Torque the wire-retaining screws in the
connector to 0.5 Nm (4.4 lbf-in.). Secure the connector to the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… chassis.

3.2.2 Serial communication
Two D-SUB 9 connectors (see Figure 3-4) can be configured to communicate on the
RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 physical layer.
The BL2 PPC 1201-4/… is capable of the following communication parameters:
The function of the pins in the D-SUB 9 connector varies with the different configuration
settings.

3.3 Antenna
An optional factory-installed mini PCIe card is available to allow the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… to
be placed on a wireless network. Included with the installed card is an antenna (1) that
attaches to a connector on the side of the unit (2).
Figure 3-6 Antenna installation
Since the BL2 PPC 1201-4/… is often installed within an enclosure, it may be advisable to
install the antenna on the exterior of the enclosure rather than directly to the IPC. To do this,
an appropriate length antenna cable (3) must be purchased separately.
The antenna or antenna threads onto the BL2 PPC 1201-4/…. For external antenna
mounting, route and secure the antenna cable appropriately within the enclosure.

NOTE:
Do not allow metal chips to fall within the enclosure when creating the hole for mounting
