Warning!
The excitation cubicle housing the display panel must be removed
energized before proceeding with the following procedures.
Mounting
This chapter provides the information needed for mounting the IDP-1200 and the Ethernet switch.
Mounting the IDP-1200
Information is provided for two types of IDP-1200 installations:
• Retrofit installation in an ECS2100 enclosure that currently houses a PanelMate display
• New installation in a panel separate from the control system enclosure
Mounting Considerations
The IDP-1200 is intended for mounting in a cutout on a vertical panel in an environment where the
ambient temperature falls between 0 and 50°C (32 and 122°F). Observe the following considerations and
guidelines when preparing to mount the IDP-1200.
Location and Environmental Cons idera t ions
The IDP-1200 is intended for mounting in a vertical panel. If mounting the IDP-1200 in a slanted panel,
the panel should not deviate more than 30° from vertical. If the panel slants more than 30°, you must
ensure that the ambient temperature surrounding the IDP-1200 does not exceed 40° (104°F). This may
require the use of external cooling equipment (a fan or air conditioner). To enhance ventilation and
maintenance, the IDP-1200 should be installed at least 4 inches (102 millimeters) away from adjacent
equipment. Heat created by nearby equipment must not cause the ambient temperature surrounding the
IDP-1200 to exceed its maximum operating temperature.
Mounting Panel Thickness
The IDP-1200 can be mounted on a panel whose thickness is no less than 0.06 inches (1.6 millimeters)
and no more than 0.39 inches (10.0 millimeters).
Retrofit Installations
Two types of IDP-1200 installation kits are available for retrofit installation. Kit part number 9437200102 is
designed for replacement of a PanelMate display mounted in an ECS2100 system enclosure door hinged
on the left-hand side. Kit part number 9437200104 is designed for replacement of a PanelMate display
mounted in an ECS2100 system enclosure door hinged on the right-hand side. Each kit consists of the
following:
• IDP-1200 display panel
• Mounting bracket
• Mounting bracket hinge assemb ly
• Ethernet switch
• Rubber grommet (kit P/N 9437200102 only)
from service and all related operating/control power voltage de-

Mounting the Ethernet Switch
When installing the IDP-1200, the Multi Drop Adapter (MDA) used with the PanelMate display must be
replaced with the supplied Ethernet switch. The Ethernet switch should be mounted within the control
system enclosure. Mount the Ethernet switch according to the instructions provided in the Ethernet switch
user manual.

Connections
IDP-1200 and Ethernet switch connections consist of control power wiring and communication
connections.
IDP-1200 Control Power
1. If replacing a PanelMate display, cut the existing 24 Vdc control power and ground wires at the
power connector that was used with the PanelMate display.
2. Strip the insulation from each wire so that 0.25 inches (7 millimeters) of conductor is exposed at
the end of each wire.
3. Insert the end of each conductor into the appropriate insertion hole of the supplied power
connector and tighten each terminal screw with a small flat-blade screwdriver. Each insertion hole
of the connector is labeled with its polarity/function. The connector terminal screws have a
maximum torque rating of 5.3 in-lb (N•m).
4. Attach the power connector to the display panel and secure it to the IDP-1200 with the
connector’s two screws.
Ethernet Switch Control Power
Connect the supplied Ethernet switch power cable wires to 24 Vdc control power. Plug the power cable
connector into the Ethernet switch.
Communication Connections
Use cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors to connect theIDP-1200 and excitation control modules
(ECMs) to the Ethernet switch. The cables must be 8-conductor, with 4 twisted pairs. The connections
made at the Ethernet switch replace the connections previously made at the Multi Drop Adapter (MDA). If
the existing cables to the MDA are used, they must be reconnected and plugged into the J16 jack of the
ECM.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Maintenance
The IDP-1200 requires no maintenance other than periodic cleaning of the touch screen. A Cleaning Lock
page prevents any system control buttons from being pressed inadvertently during cleaning. When
cleaning the touch screen, use nothing more than a soft cloth, water, and mild detergent. Soak the cloth
in the solution and wring the cloth tightly before wiping the screen.
Troubleshooting
Status LED
A three-color, status LED, located on the right side of the IDP-1200 frame, indicates display panel
operating status. Table 9 lists various status LED states and the conditions that they represent.
Table 9. Status LED Indications
Blank Indication Fields
Blank indication fields indicate a communication failure. Possible causes of a communication failure
include:
• Incorrect IP address. Verify the IDP-1200 address settings by referring to the Communication
chapter.
• Faulty/incorrect communication connections. Verify all communication connections. Confirm that
the Ethernet switch is functioning properly.
Capability Curve Fails to Display MEL Curve
A failure of the Capability Curves pages to display the generator minimum excitation limit curve can
indicate an incorrect Modbus address or control system firmware version selection. Verify these
selections on the second System Configuration screen.
Storage
This device contains long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitors. For devices that are not in service (spares
in storage), the life of these capacitors can be maximized by energizing the device for 30 minutes once
per year.
