Power Panel • Safety Guidelines
Chapter 1 • Power Panel
1. Safety Guidelines
1.1 Introduction
Programmable logic controllers (e.g. PLCs, etc.), operating and monitoring devices (e.g.
Industrial PCs, Power Panels, Mobile Panels, etc.) as well as the B&R uninterruptible power
supplies have been designed, developed and manufactured for conventional use in industry.
They were not designed, developed and manufactured for any use involving serious risks or
hazards that without the implementation of exceptionally stringent safety precautions could lead
to death, injury, serious physical damage or loss of any other kind. Such risks and hazards
include in particular the use of these devices in the monitoring of nuclear reactions in nuclear
power plants and of flight control systems, in flight safety, in the control of mass transportation
systems, in medical life support systems, and in the control of weapons systems.
Both when using programmable logic controllers and when using operating and monitoring
devices as control systems in conjunction with a Soft PLC (e.g. B&R Automation Runtime or
comparable products) or a Slot PLC (e.g. B&R LS251 or comparable products), the safety
precautions applying to industrial control systems (e.g. the provision of safety devices such as
emergency stop circuits, etc.) in accordance with applicable national and international
regulations must be observed. The same applies for all other devices connected to the system,
such as drives.
Chapter 1
Power Panel
All tasks such as installation, commissioning and service may only be carried out by qualified
personnel. Qualified personnel are persons who are familiar with transport, mounting,
installation, commissioning and operation of the product and have the appropriate qualifications
(e.g. IEC 60364). National accident prevention guidelines must be followed. The safety
guidelines, connection descriptions (rating plate and documentation) and limit values listed in the
technical data must be read carefully before installation and commissioning and must be
observed.
1.2 Intended Use
Electronic devices are generally not fail-safe. In the event of a failure on the programmable
control system, operating or monitoring device or uninterruptible power supply, the user is
responsible for ensuring that other devices that may be connected, such as motors, are made
safe
1.3 Transport and Storage
During transport and storage, the devices must be protected from excessive stress (mechanical
load, temperature, humidity, aggressive atmosphere).
Power Panel User's Manual7
Page 8
Power Panel • Safety Guidelines
1.4 Installation
• The installation must take place according to the documentation using suitable
equipment.
• The devices may only be installed when isolated from the power supply and by
qualified personnel.
• General safety regulations and nationally applicable accident prevention guidelines
must be observed.
• Electrical installation must be carried out according to the relevant guidelines (e.g.
line cross section, fuse, protective ground connection).
1.5 Operation
1.5.1 Protection against Touching Electrical Parts
The operation of programmable logic controlllers, operating and monitoring devices and
uninterruptible power supplies necessarily means that certain components must carry
dangerous voltage levels of over 42 VDC. A life-threatening electric shock could occur if you
touch these parts. This could result in death, severe injury or material damage.
Before turning on programmable control systems, operating and monitoring devices and the
uninterruptible power supply, ensure that the housing is properly connected to protective ground
(PE rail). The ground connection must be established even when testing the operating and
monitoring devices and the uninterruptible power supply or when operating them for only a short
time.
Before turning the device on, make sure that all voltage-carrying parts are securely covered.
During operation, all covers must remain closed.

12.3.1 CAN Interface
The electrically isolated standard fieldbus interface is used for the following tasks:
• Communication with other control systems
• Decentralization and remote I/O expansion using B&R 2003 components and a CAN bus
controller
We recommend using the AC911 T-connector for coupling to a CAN network. A terminal
resistance is integrated into the T-connector for the bus termination, which can be switched on
or off. For more information on wiring CAN fieldbus systems, see chapter 2, "Installation", section
"CAN Fieldbus" in the B&R SYSTEM 2003 User's Manual.

12.4 Operating Mode Switch
Figure 17: Operating mode switch
The Power Panels are equipped with 2 hex switches, which are used as an operating mode
switch. Switch positions 01 - FC are available for any purpose in an application. The switch's
position can be evaluated from an application program. The operating system only interprets the
switch position when switched on.
All other switch positions are reserved for special functions.

FDThis setting should not to be used.
FEReserved for B&R expansions – these settings are not allowed to be used!
FFDiagnosis Mode
Update Mode - In this switch position, the Power Panel checks if an update memory card is inserted. If no card
is inserted, the Power Panel goes into SERVICE mode. Otherwise (depending on the Update configuration) the
operating system and/or the user-ROM for the Power Panel is cleared and reinstalled from the memory card. If
an error occurs during the installation, the red ERROR LED blinks. When no errors have occurred during
installation the green READY LED and the yellow RUN LED blink.
Table 19: Switch settings for the MODE switch
12.5 Programming System Flash
The Power Panel is delivered without an operating system installed. An operating system can be
downloaded or updated using the programming software. Installation of the operating system is
possible with both programming systems. When carrying out operating system download for the
first time using B&R Automation Studio™ , the steps below must be taken:
1) Switch off power supply to the PLC.
2) Set the MODE switch to 00.
3) Switch on the power supply again.
4) Make on-line connection to PC (physcially).
5) Start B&R Automation Studio™ ("OFFLINE" is displayed in the status bar)
7) A window named "Operating System Transfer" opens
8) The COM port can be changed in this window, if required. Only in this case (using the "Try
to connect Bootstraploader" button) must the connection be reestablished. If several PLC
sofware versions are available, these can also be selected.
9) By clicking on "Next" in the new window CAN bus specific settings can be made.
12.6 PCMCIA Slot
The Power Panels are equipped with one PCMCIA interface for B&R memory cards. PCMCIA
memory cards conforming to JEIDA V4.0 Type I or PCMCIA Standard Release 2.0 (max. 3 mm
high) are supported.
The memory on the PCMCIA card can be used with all types of B&R modules. Executable
programmes (Task) should not be stored on the PCMCIA card, because accessing the card
takes considerably longer than accessing the Power Panel's onboard memory.
Power Panel User's Manual37
Page 38
Power Panel • Description of Components
The Power Panel supports memory cards with up to 4 MByte SRAM or with up to 4 MByte
FlashPROM. The following memory card can be ordered from B&R:
Model NumberSh ort DescriptionPower Consumption
0MC111.9PCMCIA memory card, 2MB FlashPROMMax. 0.8 W
0MC211.9PCMCIA memory card, 2MB SRAMMax. 0.8 W
The memory cards are used by the Power Panel as ROM Type "MEMCARD".
12.6.1 Limitations when using Memory Cards
Access of memory cards is very slow.
• Internal variables cannot be stored on the memory card
• Memory cannot be allocated on the memory cards
The SRAM and FlashPROM memory cards can only be written to by the Power Panel. Therefore
it is not possible to program system software or the application on a memory card directly on a
PC with a PCMCIA interface.
12.7 Power Panel Interface
The Power Panel is equipped with six slots for B&R SYSTEM 2003 screw-in modules. The
required screw-in modules are inserted into the Power Panel interface and screwed firmly into
place. The screw-in interface modules can be operated in slots 1 - 3. Screw-in modules can be
used in slots 4 - 6, which possess TPU functionality. The first slot has a second CAN port and
allows a second CAN interface by using a IF370 module.
12.8 Screw-in Module Overview

Power Panel • Changing the Battery
Procedure
The product design allows the battery to be changed with the Power Panel switched on or off. In
some countries, safety regulations do not allow batteries to be changed while the module is
switched on.
The data in RAM is buffered up to 10 min due to the gold foil capacitors. During
this time period, a battery change without data loss is guaranteed.
• Touch the mounting rail or ground connection (not the power supply!) in order to discharge
any electrostatic charge from your body.
• Remove the cover from the lithium battery holder using a screwdriver.
• Remove the battery from the holder by pulling the removal strip (don't use uninsulated tools
>- risk of short circuiting). The battery should not be held by its edges. Insulated tweezers
may also be used for removing the battery.

Figure 25: Handling the battery
• Insert the new battery with correct polarity. The removal strip should be protruding from the
battery holder and the "+" side of the battery should be facing downward. In order to be
able to remove the battery again in future, the removal strip must protrude from the upper
side of the battery.
• Now wrap the end of the removal strip over the top of the battery and insert it underneath
the battery so that it does not protrude from the battery holder.
Lithium batteries are considered hazardous waste! Used batteries should be
disposed of accordingly.
