The MT612S is a miniature and compact platform that has no redundant functions. It is designed for small-sized operator interface market. Its RISC kernel, the CIRRUS LOGIC EP9135 200MHz processor design with a memory management unit (MMU), that supports Windows CE. The ARM920T's 32-bit microcontroller architecture, with a five-stage pipeline, delivers impressive performance at very low power. The EP9315 includes a hardware graphics acceleration engine that improves graphic performance by handling block copy, block fill and hardware line draw operations. The graphics accelerator is used in the system to off load graphics operations from the processor.

2.1 Mounting Instructions

2.1.1 Location Considerations

Care should be taken when locating equipment behind the unit to ensure that AC power wiring, PLC output modules, contactors, starters and relays, and any other source of electrical interference are located away from the back of the unit.

Particular note should be taken to the position of variable speed drives and switching power supplies. Their input and load cables should be screened to a central star earth point.

2.1.2 Making a NEMA-4 Mounting

Panel Details The unit can be mounted into panels with a depth of 1.72”(51

It is recommended that the unit be mounted on the front panel of a steel enclosure, through an appropriate opening*. Allow a clearance of 1”(25mm) around the sides of the unit for mounting hardware. Allow clearance for cable connections to the back of the unit. Unit depth may vary according to cable type used. Typically, plan a

to accommodate at least 1.72”(51mm) behind the panel. NEMA-4 Mounting

Caution! Do not over tighten mounting clamps!

Note: Specifications Note:

Put the unit through the panel cut out. Slide the clamps into the 6

holes provided around the case. Tighten the clamping screws in an

even pattern until the unit is secured in the panel.

To seal to NEMA-4 specifications, all supplied mounting clamps

must be used and panel cannot flex more than 0.010”.

2.1.3 Environmental Considerations

 The NP-612S are to be used indoors as built in displays. Make sure that the displays are

installed correctly and that the operating limits are followed (See Specifications).

 Do not operate the unit in areas subject to explosion hazards due to flammable gases,

vapors or dusts.

 The unit should not be installed where fast temperature variations and/or high humidity

are present. This will cause condensation of water in the device.

 Do not install these terminals in environments where have inflammable gases.

2.2 Power Connections

Make sure that all local and national electrical standards are met when the installing the unit. Contact your local authorities to determine which codes apply.

2.2.1 Power Requirements

circuitry to the controller, with the same power supply. Note: The 24

Wires should be run in pairs with a neutral or common paired with a

Power

Fusing Requirements

Caution High Voltage

Caution Emergency Stop Caution Supply Voltage Condition

The NP-612S can be powered by DC power only. The specified

voltage range is +21 to 25 Volts DC. This insures compatibility

with most controller DC systems. The power conditioning circuitry

inside the unit is accomplished by a switching power supply. The

peak starting current can be as high as 700mA.

If the display does not come on within 2 seconds of power up,

remove power. An internal fuse will prevent damage if the polarity

of the DC power is incorrect. Check wiring to insure proper

connections and try to power up again.

An Internal fuse will prevent damage for over voltage condition

however it isn’t guaranteed.

DC voltage sources should provide proper isolation from main AC

power and similar hazards.

A Hard-wired EMERGENCY STOP should be fitted in any system

using an NP-612S to comply with ICS Safety Recommendations.

Do not power the NP-612S and inductive DC loads, or input

VDC output from some controllers may not have enough current to

power the NP-612S.

Caution Wire Routing

Connection

Wire lengths should be minimized (Maximum 1600’ (500 m)

shielded, 1000’ (300 m) unshielded).

hot or signal line.

If wiring is to be exposed to lightning or surges, use appropriate

surge suppression devices.

Keep AC, high energy, and rapidly switching DC wiring separate

from signal wires.

Equip ungrounded DC supplies with a resistor and capacitor in

parallel to earth ground. This provides a path for static and high

frequency dissipation. Typical values to use are 1MOhm and

4700pF.

To make a connection, strip about 3/8” of insulation off the end of

the wire, turn the connector screw counterclockwise until the gap is

wide open, insert the wire all the way in, and turn the screw

clockwise until it’s tight.

Connect positive DC line to the ‘+24V’ terminal and the DC ground

to the ‘GND‘ terminal.

FUSE Replacement:

The fuse use on MT608 is: BUSSMANN Fast Acting, Glass Tube Rating: 250VAC, 1A Size: 5x20mm Warning:

1. Make sure the power off before

replace the fuse.

2. Do not replace the fuse with a

different rating fuse.

2.2.2 Grounding Requirements

Chassis ground must be used. DC ground is not directly coupled to Earth ground internally. It is preferable not to ground DC negative return to chassis ground as poor site earths can introduce noise into a system, but if necessary an earth connection should be made, from the power supply return point to the central star earth point. Ground conductors should be as short and as large in size as possible. The conductors must always be large enough to carry the maximum short circuit current of the path being considered. Ground conductors should be connected to a tree from a central star earth ground point. This ensures that no ground conductor carries current from any other branch.

2.2.3 CE Requirements

To make an NP-612S comply with EMC directives, and to reduce susceptibility to electrical interference, a separate #14 AWG ground wire should be taken to the chassis ground terminal of the power connector. This ground connection should be run directly to the central star earth connection point (as recommended in most Installation Instructions).

2.2.4 Safety Guidelines

This section presents recommended installation practices, and procedures. Since no two applications are identical, these recommendations should be considered as guidelines.

Hardware Considerations WARNING!

The system designer should be aware that devices in Controller systems could fail and thereby create an unsafe condition. Furthermore, electrical interference in an operator interface, such
