Only switch the PC off after
closing the software

Warning

Warning

i

Note

Before the Industrial PC is switched off, software that is running must
be properly closed.

Otherwise it is possible that data on the hard disk is lost. Please refer to
the notes in the instruction manual for the Industrial PC.

Switch off all parts of the equipment, then uncouple the fieldbus!

Switch off all system components and uncouple the Industrial PC from the
system before opening the PC case and whenever the PC is not used for
control purposes, e.g. during installation of the PCI bus transmitter card.

Pulling out the fieldbus connection plug uncouples the PC (optional).

Items of equipment that have been switched off must be secured against
being switched on again.

Uncouple the supply voltage before opening Industrial PC, Control
Panel or DVI/USB extension module cases!

Do not exchange any parts when under power!

When components are being fitted or removed, the supply voltage must be
switched off.

Assembly work can cause damage:

• If metal objects such as screws or tools fall onto operating circuit

• If internal connection cables are unplugged or plugged in during

• If plug-in cards are removed or inserted when the PC is switched

General Notes

Operator's obligation to exercise diligence

National regulations
depending on the machine
type

Procedure in the event of a
fault

Read the operating
instructions

The operator must ensure that

• the DVI/USB extension is used appropriately (see also Section

Product Description).

• the Industrial PC, Control Panel and DVI/USB extension are only
operated in sound, operational condition;

• the instruction manual is always available on site complete and in
legible condition;

• only adequately qualified and authorized staff operate the
components;

• the personnel is instructed regularly about relevant occupational
safety and environmental protection aspects, and is familiar with
the operating manual and in particular the safety notes contained
herein.

• no safety and warning notes are removed, and all notes remain
legible.

Depending on the type of machine and plant in which the DVI/ USB­extension is being used, there will be national regulations for the control of
such machines and plant that the operator must observe. These
regulations cover, amongst other things, the intervals between inspections
of the controller.

The operator must initiate such inspections in good time.

In the event of a fault with the DVI/USB extension please refer to the list in
Section Fault correction for appropriate measures.

Operator requirements

All users of the DVI/USB extension must read this instruction manual.

When transporting the devices in cold weather or during strong
temperature fluctuations, condensation on or in the devices should be
avoided.

Adjust the devices slowly to room temperature before switching them on. If
condensation has formed, wait for approx. 12 hours before switching the
devices on.

Unpacking

Unpack the devices as follows:

1. Remove packaging.

2. Do not discard the original packaging. Keep it for future relocation.

Please refer to the respective instruction manuals regarding the
configuration of the connections at the Industrial PC (if a PCI bus
transmitter card is used) and at the Control Panel.

When connecting cables, please adhere to the following order:

• Switch off the Industrial PC

• Disconnect the Industrial PC from the power supply

• Connect all cables at the modules, the Control Panel, and the

devices to be connected

• Ensure that all screw connections (if present) between plug

connectors and sockets are tight!

• Connect the DVI/USB extension modules with the 24 V power

supply. The PCI bus transmitter card is supplied via the Industrial
PC.

• Reconnect all devices to the power supply.

Two standard CAT 7 cables with RJ 45 connector are used for the
connections between transmitter module and receiver module, and

Functional description

Switching on

First switch the Industrial
PC off

The transmitter and receiver modules have no dedicated mains switch. The
modules are ready for operation as soon as the central 24 V power supply
has been switched on.
The transmitter plug-in card is switched on via the Industrial PC.

Servicing and maintenance

Please also refer to chapter General Notes.

Cleaning of the DVI/USB extension modules

Switch off the Industrial PC and all connected devices. Disconnect the
modules from the 24 V power supply.

The module cases can be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth. Do not use any
aggressive cleaning materials, thinners, scouring material or hard objects
that could cause scratches.

Servicing

The transmitter and receiver modules and the transmitter plug-in card are
maintenance-free.

Emergency procedures

In the event of a fire use powder or nitrogen as extinguishing medium for

the modules.

Shutting down

Disposal

Modules should be
dismantled

Observe national
electronics scrap
regulations

For disposal the modules should be fully dismantled. The housing can be
sent for metal recycling.

Electronic parts must be disposed of in accordance with national
electronics scrap regulations.
