Hardware Tests
6HardwareTests
Before the operator panels are approved for m arket introduction, they are tested
by independent authorities. The iX Panelsare examined by several authorities
before being approvedfor market introduction. All operator panels are designed
to fulfill standards such as CE. The quality policy and environmental policy place
demands on all suppliersand subcontractors.
The manufacturer performs extensive hardware testing before an operator panel
is approved. Some tests are performed byexternal testing companies, such as
the SwedishNational Testing andResearch Institute. All operator panels are
submitted to testingbefore leaving the manufacturer.

A ferrite core suppresses disturbances to the 24 V feed, see 6 in drawing above.
In some industrialunits for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to the
chassis via a capacitor, see1 in drawing above.
The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly
connected to the chassis, see 2 in
drawing above.
1.
Check whether the other Ethernetunit has its shield directly grounded or
grounded via a capacitor.
Note:
Inmanycases,connecting theshieldedEthernetcablingtothechassisatbothendsis
inappropriate. Humo r groundingloopscanoccur. Unshielded cablingmayeven result
infewercommunicationerrors.
A good solution may be to use a shielded Ethernet cable, but toconnect the shield
at one end only.
One option isto break the shield, see 3 in drawingabove.
A more elegantmethod 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 0.1 uF/250 V plastic capacitor, see 5 in
drawing above. This will connect theHF transients to the ground.

Additional InstallationTips
11.3 ToAchieveBetterEMCProtection
•Initially,use the original cabling from BeijerElectronics primarily.
•Use shielded cables for RS232 communication.
•Use twisted pair andshielded cabling for RS422 and RS485.
•Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet,Profibus, CC-Link,
CAN, Device Netetc.
•Install and connect according to applicablespecifications for the relevant bus
standard.
•Use shielded cabling forEthernet, preferably with foil + braided shield.
•D-sub covers should be shielded, and the shield should be connected to the
cover 360° where the cable comes in.
•Connect the shield at both ends.

With longer distances, thereis a risk that the ground potential may bedifferent.
In that case, the shieldshould only be connected at one end. A good alternative
is to connect the ot her end of the shield to the ground viaa 0.1 uF/250 V plastic
capacitor. Both ends are then connected to the ground in terms of HF, but only
connected to the ground at one end in terms of LF, thus avoidingthe 50 Hz
grounding loops.

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

and connect theshield to the installation plate with a360 ° metal cable clamp.
2.
Place the 24V DC and communications cabling in one cable trunk/cable duct
and 230/380 V AC in 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 m ay remove minor
disturbances. Large ferrite pieces that aresnapped onto unshielded cabling and
where the wiresgo 2-4 times around the cores are approximately 5-25 timesmore
efficient.

Some (older) operatorpanels had pull-up and pull-down resistance except for

Newer panelshave another type of recipient, so-called built-in “Fail Safe”,where

If other nodes onthe RS485 network require pull-up and pull-down and the

carried out:
•Connect two 1k/0.25 W resistorsin the 25-pole D-sub contact. See 3 in

TransferImage
1.
Double-click on the e xecutable Image Loader file to start the transfer program.
2.
Followthe instructions.
The image transfer procedureis completely menu-driven. The operator panel
will be readyfor transfer directly afterwards, providedthat all steps are performed
and completed.
The followingsteps outline the transfer procedure:
1.
Disconnect the powersupply from the panel.
2.
Set themode switches in mode0100 (Image Loadmode).
3.
Reconnect thepower supply.
4.
Select the operator panel to upgrade by entering its IP address.
5.
Click Upgrade.
6.
When the upgradeis finished, disconnect power from theoperator panel.

14.1 GeneralEnvironmentalAspects
The manufacturer’s activities meet internal requirementsas well as those of the
SS-EN ISO 9001:2000and SS-EN ISO 14001:2004 internationalstandards.

14.2.1MechanicalComponents
The aluminum and stainless steel used in the mechanical components are judged
to be non-environmentally hazardous. The expanded rubber packing for the front
and the expanded polyethylenepacking for the display contain an adhesivethat is
not classified as environmentally hazardous.
Screws may haveundergone the following surface treatments: Bright
nickel-plating or bright zinc-plating. Themembranekeyboardismadeof
polyester with silver wiring. On some models the keyboard contains LEDs.
Display framesand CF covers are madeof halogen-free plastic, PC/ABS.

Display
There is a separate circuit board for the display. The liquid crystals in the display
are cyclohexanecompounds. The fluorescenttube contains mercury and lead
solder.
Batteries

Environmental Aspects
14.3 Recycling
The operator panelsconsist largely of aluminum. It is a greatadvantage in terms of
both resources andthe environment if it can be recycled. Make sure that operator
panels taken out ofservice are sent tofacilities for electronic scrap.
The manufacturer’s electronic waste is recycled by StenaTechnoworld AB.
Aluminum front/rearcasings and othercovers can be removed and recycled.
Plastic display frames and CF covers must be recycledas hard plastic. The circuit
board containsmany valuable metals and should thereforebe recycled.
Remove the lithi um battery. Electrolytic capacitors and displays are currently not
classified as hazardouswaste, but may be harmful tohealth and the environment.
The electrolytic capacitors should behandled as per Handbook 2001:7 (NFS)
and displays asper NFS 2001:8.
Thefluorescenttubemustbehandledashazardouswaste.
The packagingis made from wood fiberand shouldberecycled. Thelargeprinted
label on the front,however, must first be removed as it is made of PVC vinyl. The
label and theplastic bag for the bracketsare recycled as soft plastic.
The manufacturer isa member of the REPAregister. The protective film on the
front is recycledas soft plastic. Whenthe operator panel is no longer useful it
can be returnedto the manufacturer for environmentally responsible recycling.

14.4 EnvironmentalImpactReport
An operator panel impactsthe environment through its function, i.e., controlling
industrial equipment. The energy and the scrapped parts that can be saved with
efficient management meanthat the operator panel contributes to reduced
environmental impact.
Listed below are examples of how you can reduce environmental 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 saveenergy and
reduce wearon the fluorescent tube.
•Ifpossible, reduce the backlight brightnessto reduce energy consumption
and increase fluorescent tube service life.
