4.3 Connecting the Industrial PC

CAUTION
Risk of electric shock
Dangerous touch voltages can lead to electric shock. To avoid electric shock, observe the following:
• Never connect or disconnect the device cables during a thunderstorm.
• Provide protective earthing for handling the device.
To prepare the Industrial PC for operation, it must be connected. The first step is to ground the device. Then you can connect the cables and the power supply.
An external power supply unit is required to supply 24VDC (-15%/+20%) for operating the device.
Wire the Industrial PC in the control cabinet in accordance with the EN 60204-1:2006 standard on Protective Extra Low Voltage (PELV) so that one side of the circuit or a point on the power source of this circuit is connected to the protective conductor system.
Set "PE" and "0 V" (24 V power supply) to the same potential (connected in the control cabinet).
Connected devices that have their own power supply must have the same potential for "PE" and "GND" as the Industrial PC system (no potential difference).
Fig.15: C6025 _Wiring example
C602524 Version: 1.5
Commissioning

4.3.1 Grounding of the Industrial PC

Potential differences are minimized and electrical currents are diverted to the ground through grounding or potential equalization of electronic devices. This is to prevent dangerous touch voltages and electromagnetic interference.
The protective conductor connection PE is located on the housing of the Industrial PC (see also Chapter 3.1 Structure [}9]), which ensures both the protective earthing of the PC and the functional earthing. Therefore,
use cables with a cross-section of at least 4 mm2 for the connection of the protective conductor.
Protective earth
By connecting the PE protective conductor connection to the central grounding point of the control cabinet panel in which the PC is installed, you establish low-resistance protective earthing of the Industrial PC and thus avoid dangerous touch voltages.
EMC
NOTE
Hardware damage due to electromagnetic interference
Using the Industrial PC without functional earthing can lead to hardware damage due to electromagnetic in­terference.
• Only use the device with functional earthing.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) refers to the Industrial PC's ability not to interfere with other devices and equipment through electromagnetic interference, and not to be disturbed by electrical or electromagnetic effects.
For this purpose, the Industrial PC must comply with certain protection requirements. The Industrial PC has EMC interference immunity according to EN 61000-6-2. The EMC interference emission of the device meets the requirements of EN 61000-6-4.
The EMC of the device is improved by functional earthing. You also establish the functional earthing by connecting the PE protective conductor connection to the central grounding point of the control cabinet panel in which the PC is installed.

4.3.2 Connecting cables and power supply

NOTE
Incorrect connection procedure
Incorrect procedure when connecting the cables and the power supply can cause hardware damage.
• Follow the documented procedure for connecting the cables and the power supply.
• Always connect the cables first and only then switch on the power supply.
• Please read the documentation for the external devices prior to connecting them.
Connecting cables
The connections are located in the front of the Industrial PC and are documented in Chapter 3.1 Structure [}9].
Make sure that you first ground the PC (see Chapter 4.3.1 Grounding of the Industrial PC [}25]) and then plug in all data transfer cables.
Connecting the power supply
Cables with a maximum cable cross-section of 1.5mm2 must be used for connecting the power supply. To achieve the lowest possible voltage drop on the supply cable, we recommend connecting the maximum possible cross-section. In the case of longer distances between the voltage source and the PC, take into account the voltage drop in relation to the cable cross-section and voltage fluctuations in your supply voltage, so that is secured that the voltage doesn´t fall under 22 V at the power supply.
Proceed as follows to connect the 24 VDC power supply unit:
1. Check the correct voltage of your external power supply.
2. Install the power cable.
3. Plug the power cable into the four-pin voltage connector of the Industrial PC.
4. Fasten the power cable to the power plug of the Industrial PC.
5. Connect the PC to your external 24 V power supply.
6. Switch on the 24V power supply.
C602526 Version: 1.5

4.4 Switching the Industrial PC on and off

The Industrial PC does not have its own mains switch. Instead, the wiring for starting up and shutting down the PC is connected via input PC_ON. You can connect a switch to the PC_ON input and use it as a standard power switch. This allows you to position the switch as desired and make it easily accessible.
The Power Status signal indicates whether the PC is switched on or off. Read this signal to find out when you can switch off the main supply voltage.
First switching on and driver installation
NOTE
Public networks
Connecting the PC to public networks without additional protective measures can compromise the safety of the device.
• Protect the PC before connecting it to public networks.
The Industrial PC is started when the system is switched on or when the power supply is connected.
When you switch on the Industrial PC for the first time, the pre-installed operating system (optional) will be started. For any additional hardware you have connected, you have to install the drivers yourself afterwards. In addition, the Beckhoff Device Manager starts automatically. The Device Manager is a software from Beckhoff that supports you in configuring the PC.
If you have ordered the PC without an operating system, you must install this and the driver software for the additional hardware you have connected and for the devices in the PC yourself. Please follow the instructions in the documentation for the operating system and the additional devices.
Switching off the Industrial PC
NOTE
Data loss due to running software
Switching off the Industrial PC before ending the running software and shutting down the device can lead to data loss.
• Quit the running software and shut down the device before switching it off.
When the system is switched off or disconnected from its own power supply, the Industrial PC is also switched off.
If 24 V are applied to the PC_ON input, the PC shuts down properly. The PC_ON signal is inverted, i.e. the PC shuts down if the 24 V connection is live.
Once the PC has shut down, the Power Status output is switched from 24 V to 0 V. This output can be used, for example, to switch a contactor that disconnects the entire system from the power supply. The maximum load for the Power Status output is 0.5 A and a suitable fuse should be provided.
You can assign different access rights to all users in the operating system and in the application software. Since there is a risk of data loss if the Industrial PC is switched off incorrectly, assign the rights advisedly. A user who is not allowed to terminate the software should not be allowed to switch off the Industrial PC.
