1.1 Advantages of the Computing Unit
Computing unit
The computing unit serves as a basic component for the PC-based HMI devices
(Panel PC) and, within the scope of special configurations, as a basis for
customized devices.
The computing unit is intended for use in industry as well as in the residential,
business and commercial areas and can also be used in building system
automation or in public facilities, in addition to industrial applications.
Quality
The computing unit is characterized by its high quality, which is attributable, for
example, by:
Sextensive climate, vibration and shock tests to ensure industrial compatibility;

1.2 Safety Notes
!Caution
Please observe the safety notes on the back of the cover of this manual.
Expansions to the Panel PC should only be carried out after having read Chapter
4 and the relevant safety notes.
This device complies with the safety requirements in accordance with IEC, VDE,
EN, UL and CSA. If you have doubts about the approval of the installation in the
intended location, please contact the service representative responsible for your
area.
Notes on installation
If the device is brought to its operating location from a cold environment,
condensation may occur. Before starting up, the device must be dry and, therefore,
an acclimatization period of at least 12 hours is necessary.
Before installing and operating the device, please note the information on ambient
conditions in the Appendix Technical Data and and on installing the device in
Chapter 2.2. The device must be installed in such a way that it presents no danger
of any kind (for example, by tipping over).
Ensure that the air vents are not obstructed and sufficient cooling air can be drawn
in inside the device.
!Warning
When assembling the systems, it is essential to maintain the permissible
installation positions and angles (refer to Chapter 2.2).
If systems are installed at a non-approved installation location, the approvals to
UL 1950, UL 508 and EN60950 are no longer valid!

Mains supply
When connecting the device, observe the relevant information provided in
Chapter 2.
Never connect or disconnect power cables or data transmission lines during a
thunderstorm.
In an emergency situation (for instance, damage to the housing, controls or power
cable, penetration by liquids or foreign bodies), pull the power plug and contact the
authorized service department.
When plugging in/out periphery connections (e.g. keyboard, mouse, printer), the
SIMATIC Panel PC must have been switched off (not in the case of PC card and
USB devices). Failure to do so can result in damage to the computing unit.
Notes for devices with AC power supply
The device is intended for connection to grounded power supply systems
(TN networks to VDE 0100, Part 300, or IEC 364-3).
No provision is made for connection to non-grounded or impedance-grounded
power supply systems (IT networks).
The power cable should comply with the safety guidelines of the country
concerned.
Check to make sure that the rated voltage for the device corresponds to that
supplied by the local power supply.
This device is equipped with a safety-tested power supply cable and may be
connected only to a socket outlet with grounding contact.
Make sure that the socket outlet on the device or the socket outlet with grounding
contact of the building wiring system is freely accessible and located as near to the
device as possible.
To completely disconnect the PC from the mains power supply, you must pull the
plug. This connection must be easily accessible. If the PC is to be installed in a
cabinet, a central disconnector must be provided.
Note for devices with DC power supply
Devices with a DC power supply are considered open operating resources (right
side of device); therefore, the assembly design must fulfill the fire protection
housing requirements.
!Warning
The device may only be connected to 24 V DC power supply networks which fulfill
the requirements of a safe electrical low voltage (SELV).
The cable cross-section must be large enough so that, should a short circuit occur
in the computing unit no damage is caused by the cable.

Country-Specific Notes
For the USA and Canada:
For operation in Canada and the United States, use CSA or UL-listed power
cables.
The connector must comply with the NEMA 5-15 specification.
120 V power supply
A flexible cable with UL approval and CSA marking and the following features must
be used: SJT design with three conductors, at least 18 AWG cross-section, a
maximum length of 4.5 meters and parallel grounding-type plug (15 A, at least
125 V).
240 V power supply
A flexible cable with UL approval and CSA marking and the following features must
be used: SJT design with three conductors, at least 18 AWG cross-section, a
maximum length of 4.5 meters and Tandem grounding-type plug (15 A, at least
250 V).
230 V supply voltage outside the USA and Canada
A flexible cable with the following features must be used: conductor cross section
at least 18 to AWG and grounding-type plug 15 A / 250 V. Make sure that the cable
set complies with the safety standards of the country where the devices will be
installed and that they bear the relevant markings.
Repairs
Repairs to the Panel PC may only be carried out by authorized, adequately trained
personnel.
!Warning
Unauthorized opening and repairs to devices can lead to severe property damage
or represent a danger to the user.
Always unplug the power plug before opening the unit.
Only install system extensions which are intended for the computer. The
installation of other expansions can damage the system or violate safety and radio
interference regulations. Information concerning which extensions are suitable for
the system can be obtained from technical service representatives or the sales
outlet.
The terms of the warranty are deemed void in the case of defects caused to the
Panel PC by the installation or replacement of system extensions.
The power supply may only be removed or replaced by authorized, adequately
trained personnel.
