Additional Installation Tips 10 Additional Installation Tips When experiencing communication problems in for example noisy environments or when operating close to temperature limits, the following recommendations are to be noticed. 10.
Additional Installation Tips 10.2 Ethernet Connection in the Panel Industrial Ethernet RJ45 RJ45 1 RJ45 RJ45 Operator panel RJ45 3 2 Operator panel RJ45 4 Shielded 1-1 2-2 3-3 Short and unshielded Operator panel RJ45 8-8 5 Operator panel RJ45 0.1 uF 250 V 5351 In some industrial units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to the chassis via a capacitor, see 1 in drawing above. The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis, see 2 in drawing above. 1.
Additional Installation Tips 10.3 To Achieve Better EMC Protection • • • • • • • • Initially, use the original cabling from Beijer Electronics primarily. Use shielded cables for RS232 communication. Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for RS422 and RS485. Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link, CAN, Device Net etc. Install and connect according to applicable specifications for the relevant bus standard.
Additional Installation Tips 10.4 Ambient Temperature The maximum ambient temperature for the operator panel is provided in the specifications. The ambient temperature refers to the temperature in the device cabinet which cools the panel’s electronics.
Additional Installation Tips 10.5 Safety Most of the operator panels are fed with 24 V DC. Power supply 230 V AC to 24 V DC Operator panel +24 V 1 0V 4 Power supply 230 V AC to 24 V DC Operator panel +24 V 2 0V 4 Distance? Power supply 230 V AC to 24 V DC Operator panel +24 V 3 0V 4 COM1 Small controller with expansion unit Ch0 Ch1 230 V AC COM100 Ch100 Ch101 5355 If you use a power supply that meets safety standards and only feeds the operator panel, there is no problem.
Additional Installation Tips 10.6 Galvanic Isolation Internal electronic Filter Ethernet DC/DC galvanic isolation DC/AC VCC +24 V DC CFL 0 V (GND) 0V 1.5 m RS422/485 RS232 USB 5356 USB The operator panel has galvanic isolation against the 24 V DC feed but no galvanic isolation between the communication ports for RS232, RS422/485 and USB. Only the Ethernet connection has galvanic isolation.
Additional Installation Tips 10.7 Cable and Bus Termination RS485 Use shielded and twisted pair cable. The pair capacitance may not exceed 52.5 pF/m and area at least 0.25 mm2 (AWG 24), if you want to use the maximum transfer distance and maximum transfer speed. 0 V, the reference voltage for communication should be included in the cabling. With two-way communication use two pairs; one pair for communication and one pair for 0 V. The shield must be grounded at one end.

Environmental Aspects 13 Environmental Aspects This chapter includes information about the environmental impact of iX Panels. More information can be found on the manufacturer’s web site. 13.1 General Environmental Aspects The manufacturer’s activities meet internal requirements as well as those of the SS-EN ISO 9001:2000 and SS-EN ISO 14001:2004 international standards. 13.2 Environmental Impact of the Operator Panels 13.2.
Environmental Aspects 13.3 Recycling The operator panels consist largely of aluminum. It is a great advantage in terms of both resources and the environment if it can be recycled. Make sure that operator panels taken out of service are sent to facilities for electronic scrap. The manufacturer’s electronic waste is recycled by Stena Technoworld AB. Aluminum front/rear casings and other covers can be removed and recycled. Plastic display frames and CF covers must be recycled as hard plastic.
