A good solution may beto use a shielded Ethernet cable, but to connect the shield at one end only.
One option is to break the shield, see 3 in drawing above. A more elegant method is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling with a piece of
unshielded Ethernetcable, see 4 in drawing above. You can ground the shield via an external 0.1uF/250 V plastic capacitor,see 5 in
drawing above. This will connect the HF transients to the ground.

11.3 ToAchieveBetterEMCProtection

Initially,use the original cabling from BeijerElectronics primarily.
Use shielded cables for RS232communication.
Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for R S422 and RS485.
Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet,Profibus, CC-Link,
CAN, Device Netetc.
Install and connect according to applicable specifications forthe relevant bus
standard.
Use shielded cabling for Ethernet,preferably with foil +braided shield.
D-sub covers should be shielded, and the shield should beconnected to the
cover 360 ° where the cable comes in.
Connect the shield at both ends.

5352
With longer distances, there isa risk that the ground potential may be different. In that case,the shield should only be connected at one end. A good alternative is to connect the other end of the shield to the ground via a 0.1 uF/250 V plastic capacitor. Both endsare then connected to the ground interms of HF, but only connected to the groundat one end in terms of LF, thus avoiding the 50 Hz grounding loops.

Usean EMC cable gland or regular plastic cable gland, removethe outer jacket

and connect theshield to the installation plate with a 360 °metal cable clamp.
2.
Place the 24 V DC and communications cabling in one cable trunk/cable duct and 230/380 V ACin another. If the cables need to be crossed, cross them at 90 ° only. Avoidcombining the cabling for stronger 24 V DC outputs with the communication cabling.
Ferritecores that are snappedonto the shielded cabling may remove minor disturbances. Large ferrite pieces that aresnapped onto unshielded cablingand where the wiresgo 2-4 times around the cores are approximately 5-25 times more efficient.

transfer distance and maximumtransfer speed.
0 V, the reference voltagefor communication should be included in
the cabling. With two-way communication use twopairs; one pair for communication and one pair for 0 V.
The shield must be grounded at one end. The other end is usually grounded,
but with longer distances or when there is a difference inthe ground potential, theshieldshouldbeconnectedtothegroundvia0.1uF/250Vplastic capacitor to prevent ground current inthe braided shield. A number of manufacturers recommendthat the shield be grounded ateach node. Various manufacturers have differentsystems for bus termination. The RS485 standard does not describe how the “FailSafe” function would be carried out, justthatthesystemshouldbeabletohandletheerror.
Depending on the recipients’ design, the buswires may be on the same levelor require pull-up or pull-down to ensure that no faultysignals are detected when the bus is in restingmode (all transmitters are disconnected).

Some (older) operator p anels had pull-up andpull-down resistance except for the actual bus termination at 1 20 ohm, similar to Westermoand Profibus. See 1 in drawing above.
Newer panelshave another type of recipient, so-called built-in “FailSafe”, where simple bus termination resistance issufficient. See 2 in drawing above.
If other nodes onthe RS485 network require pull-up and pull-downand the operator panel is atone end of the loop, one of the following procedures can be carried out:
Connect two 1k/0.25 W resistors inthe 25-pole D-sub contact. See 3 in

Environmental Aspects

14.3 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 byStena Technoworld AB. Aluminum front/rearcasings and other covers can be removedand recycled. Plastic display frames andCF covers must be recycled as hardplastic. The circuit board contains m any valuable metals and should therefore b e recycled.
Remove the lithium battery. Electrolytic capacitors and displays are currently not classified as hazardouswaste, but may be harmful to health and the environment.
The electrolytic capacitors should be handledas per Handbook 2001:7 (NFS) and displays as per NFS 2001:8.
Thefluorescenttubemustbehandledashazardouswaste. The packagingis made from wood fiber and shouldberecycled. Thelargeprinted
label on the front, however, must first be removedas it is made of PVC vinyl. The label and theplastic bag for the brackets arerecycled as soft plastic.
The manufacturer is a member of the REPA register. The protective film onthe front is recycledas soft plastic. When the operator panelis no longer useful it can be returned to the manufacturer for environmentally responsible recycling. Contact the company forfurther information.

14.4 EnvironmentalImpactReport

An operator panel impacts the environment through its function, i.e., controlling industrial equipment. The energy and the scrapped parts that can be saved with efficient management mean that the operator panel contributes to reduced environmental impact.
Listed below areexamples of how you can reduceenvironmental impact during operator panel use.
Switch the system off when not in use.
Use green electricity.
Use energy-saving options, e.g., turn off the backlight to both save energy and
reduce wearon the fluorescent tube.
If possible, reduce the backlightbrightness to reduce energy consumption
and increase fluorescenttube service life.
