Thank you for purchasing Digital’s PL-DU6900/PL-DU7900 Series Standard
Display (hereafter referred to as "the DU").
The DU unit uses the most up-to-date, cost-effective, high-performance architec-
ture and is designed exclusively for use with Digital’s BOX-Type Industrial
Computers (hereafter referred to as "the PL").
Please read this manual carefully as it explains, step by step, how to use the DU
correctly and safely.
Preface

PL-DU6900/PL-DU7900 User Manual2
Preface
This manual includes procedures that must be followed to operate the DU cor-
rectly and safely. Be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly
to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit.
Icon Meaning
Throughout this manual, the following icons are provided next to operations
requiring special attention to allow you to use the DU safely. The operations
described with these icons contain essential safety information. The following is
an example of these icons and their meanings:
Indicates situations where severe bodily
injury, death or major equipment damage
can occur.
Indicates situations where slight bodily
injury or machine damage can occur.
Essential Safety Precautions
System Design
• Before connecting the DU's power cord terminals to its
terminal block, be sure the power cord is disconnected
from the power supply.
• Do not use power that is beyond the DU's specified volt-
age range. It may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Before opening the DU unit's cover, to prevent electric
shocks or burns, be sure to disconnect the DU's power
cord from the power supply.
• Do not modify the DU unit. It may cause a fire or an elec-
tric shock.
• Do not use touch panel keys or switches for any life re-
lated or important disaster prevention situations. Use
separate hardware switches for such keys.
• Do not create touch panel switches that are used to either
control or to ensure the safety of equipment and person-
nel. Mechanical switches, such as an emergency stop
switch, a deadman (two-handed) start switch, etc., must
be installed and operated via a separate control system.
WARNINGS
Caution
Warning

PL-DU6900/PL-DU7900 User Manual 3
Preface
•After the PL’s backlight burns out, unlike the PL’s
“Standby Mode”, the touch panel is still active. If the op-
erator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out and
touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine miss-
operation can occur.
If your PL's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following
steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.
1) If your PL is not set to "Standby Mode" and the screen
has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.
2) Or, if your PL is set to Standby Mode, but touching the
screen does not cause the display to reappear, your
backlight is burned out.
• Do not allow water, liquids, or metal particles to enter
inside the DU's chassis, since they can cause either a
malfunction or an electrical shock. If, however, either of
these events occurs, disconnect the DU unit's power cord
immediately and contact your local DUdistributor.
• Read and understand Chapter 4 “Installation and Wiring”
thoroughly before selecting an installation location for the
DU.
• Do not insert/remove an expansion board or an interface
unit while the DU unit's power cord is connected to the
power supply.
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the DU in
areas containing flammable gases.
• The DU is not appropriate for use with aircraft control
devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data trans-
mission (communication) devices, nuclear power control
devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these
devices’ inherent requirements of extremely high levels of
safety and reliability.
• When using the DU with transportation vehicles (trains,
cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices,
various types of safety equipment, non life-support re-
lated medical devices, etc. redundant and/or fail-safe
system designs should be used to ensure the sufficient
degree of reliability and safety.

PL-DU6900/PL-DU7900 User Manual4
Preface
• When the surface or the frame of the display becomes
dirty, soak a soft cloth in water with a neutral detergent,
wring the cloth tightly, and wipe the display. Do not use
paint thinner, organic solvents, or a strong acid com-
pound to clean the unit.
• Avoid using or storing the DU in direct sunlight, or in ex-
cessively dusty, dirty or hot environments.
• Do not use the DU in areas where large, sudden temperature
changes can occur thereby causing condensation to form
inside the unit. This can cause the unit to malfunction.
• Avoid restricting the DU's naturally occuring ventilation, or
storing or using the DU in an environment that is too hot.
• Do not store or use the DU where chemicals and acids
evaporate, or where chemicals and acids are dispersed
into the air.
• Do not hold the DU's display stand to carry the DU. This
stand is not meant for carrying the DU and if it breaks,
the unit may fall and injure you.
LCD Handling Caution
The GP's LCD contains a strong irritant. If the panel is
ever cracked and the LCD's liquid contacts your skin, be
sure to wash it with running water for at least 15 minutes.
If any of this liquid should enter your eye, be sure to flush
your eye with running water for more than 15 minutes and
see a doctor as soon as possible.
CAUTIONS

PL-DU6900/PL-DU7900 User Manual 5
Preface
LCD Usage and Handling
• The brightness of the LCD screen will depend on the screen's current display
and the LCD's contrast adjustment. Any brightness variations that result are
normal for LCD displays.
• There are minute grid-points (Dark or Light points) on the LCD surface. These
points are not defects and are a part of the DU panel’s design.
• The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the
specified view angle. This is also normal.
• When installing this unit, be sure that the screen is viewable from within the
designated direction, otherwise the view angle will be effected.
• Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time can cause an afterim-
age to remain on the screen. To correct this, turn the unit OFF for 5 to 10
minutes, then ON again. This phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCDs,
and is not a defect. To prevent this effect, you can:
1) Use the Display OFF feature; if the same image is to be displayed for a long
period of time.
2) Change the screen display periodically to prevent the displaying of a single
image for a long period of time.
(For further information about LCD usage and handling, contact your local DU
distributor.)
Prior to Using the DU
After connecting the DU to the PL and setting up the PL's OS, you will need to
input the DU's screen settings and perform touch panel calibration.

When a USB cable is used, up to 2 DU units can be connected to a single PL unit.
Connecting two displays requires two of the optional display cables (PL-CB200-

tions when connecting the DUs and the Display Expansion Board.
Chapter 3.1.1 Attaching the Display Expansion Board (PL-PE200)
When connecting an RS-422 Cable, only one display can be attached to one
PL unit.
There are two types of installation methods to use; the Star Method or the Daisy

Commercially Available Items
The PL-B910 Series units can use USB compatible devices. However, among the
commercially available USB devices, not all will be compatible with the PL unit.
For a list of the USB units that can be used with your PL, please contact your local
PL distributor.
When using USB type devices, be sure they are USB compatible, and be sure to read
that device's installation guide prior to connecting it to the PL.
When a USB high speed device (12Mbps) is used, an error will occur,
and certain PL peripheral units will not operate correctly. (ex. MO drive
units, PC card units, FD drive units, and others)
