Graphic Operator Terminal / CONSIDERATIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1 CONSIDERATIONS AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Both the installer and the owner or operator of the graphic operator terminal must read and
understand this installation manual.
1.1 Important Considerations
The scope of this manual is the hardware installation of your new device. Please be advised that
software is required to create custom applications for your hardware. For User Interface (UI)
applications, Kollmorgen strongly recommends the Kollmorgen Visualization Builder software
(KVB).
The Kollmorgen Visualization Builder software is used to configure Human Machine Interface
(HMI) panels and PC operated control applications, including applications for Programmable
Automation Controllers (PAC) from Kollmorgen.
The Kollmorgen Visualization Builder makes it easy to create logical, flexible and effective
HMI/PAC applications that provide the right information on the right occasion to operators and to
other systems.
For more information, refer to the Kollmorgen Visualization Builder User Manual and Quick Start
Guide.
1.2 General
Read the safety precautions carefully.
Check the delivery for transportation damage. If damage is found, notify the supplier as soon
as possible.
Do not use the graphic operator terminal in an environment with high explosive hazards.
The supplier is not responsible for modified, altered or reconstructed equipment.
Use only parts and accessories manufactured according to specifications of the supplier.
Read the installation and operating instructions carefully before installing, using or repairing
the graphic operator terminal.
Never allow fluids, metal filings or wiring debris to enter any openings in the graphic operator
terminal. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
Only qualified personnel may operate the graphic operator terminal.
Storing the graphic operator terminal where the temperature is lower or hi gher than
recommended in this manual can cause the LCD display liquid to congeal and become
isotopic.
The LCD display liquid contains a powerful irritant. In case of skin contact, wash i mmediately
with plenty of water. In case of eye contact, hold the eye open, flush with plenty of water and
obtain medical attention.
The figures in this manual serve an illustrative purpose. Because of the many variables
associated with any particular installation, the supplier cannot assume responsibility for actual
use based on the figures.

6.1 Grounding the Operator Terminal
Graphic Operator Terminal / INSTALLATION TIPS
The graphic operator terminal’s mounting clamps do not provide a secure grounding
connection between the terminal and the device cabinet.
2
Connect a 2.5 mm
terminal chassis.
Connect a 6 or 4 mm
grounding point on the door.
Connect a strong but short grounding braid between the door and the device cabinet.
Twist the cables onto the 24 V DC feed.
A ferrite core suppresses disturbances to the 24 V feed:
– Two turns around the ferrite core provide four times the suppression of one turn.
– Three turns around the ferrite core provide nine times the suppression of one turn.

wire or grounding braid between the terminal’s chassis and the closest
18
Page 19
Note
: The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area. A
long, thin grounding wire has very high impedance (resistance) at high frequencies and will
not guide disturbances to the ground. Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire
conductors with the same area. A braided conductor wire with the same area is better. The
best is a short, thick grounding braid.
6.2 Ethernet Connection in the Terminal
Graphic Operator Terminal / INSTALLATION TIPS
In some industrial units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is co nnected to the chassis via
a capacitor.
The graphic operator terminal’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chas sis.
Check whether the other Ethernet unit has its shield directly grounded or grounded via a
capacitor.
In many cases, connecting the shielded Ethernet cabling to the chassis at both ends is
inappropriate. Hum or grounding loops can occur. Unshielded cabling may even result in
fewer communication errors.
As a solution, use a shielded Ethernet cable. However, only connect the shield at one end.
A possible option is to break the shield.
Another option is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling with a piece of unshielded Ethernet
cable.
You can ground the shield via an external 0.1 uF/250 V plastic capacitor. This will connect
the HF transients to the ground.
19
Page 20
6.3 Achieving EMC Protection
The following suggestions should be taken into consideration to achieve better EMC protection:
Initially, use the original cabling from Kollmorgen primarily.
Use shielded cables for RS232 communication.
Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for RS422 and RS485.
Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link, CAN, Device Net etc.
Install and connect according to applicable specifications for the relevant bus standard.
Use shielded cabling for Ethernet, 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.
Graphic Operator Terminal / INSTALLATION TIPS
With longer distances, there is a risk that the ground potential may be different. In this scenario,
the shield should only be connected at one end. A preferred alternative is to connect the other
end of the shield to the ground via a 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 avoiding the 50 Hz grounding loops.
20
Page 21
Graphic Operator Terminal / INSTALLATION TIPS
Use an EMC cabl
e gland or regular plastic cable gland. Remove the outer jacket and connect the
shield to the installation plate with a 360 ° metal cable clamp.
Place the 24 V DC and communications cabling in one cable trunk/cable du ct and 230/380 V AC
in another. If the cables need to be crossed, cross them at 90 ° only. Avoid combining the cabling
for stronger 24 V DC outputs with the communication cabling.
Ferrite cores that are snapped onto the shielded cabling may remove minor disturbances. Large
ferrite pieces that are snapped onto unshielded cabling and where the wires go 2-4 times around
the cores are approximately 5-25 times more efficient.
6.4 Ambient Temperature
The maximum ambient temperature for the graphic operator terminal is provided in the
specifications. The ambient temperature refers to the temperature in the device cabinet which
cools the terminal’s electronics.
In most cases, the ambient temperature for the graphic operator terminal is signif icantly higher
than the device cabinet’s ambient temperature.
If the cabinet is tall and there are a number of heat-generating devices, the temperature at the top
of the cabinet is considerably higher than the theoretical temperature increase that is expected.
All electronics are sensitive to heat. The lifespan of an electrolytic capacitor is cut in half with an
8-10 ° increase in temperature. A 15-20 ° temperature increase results in a quarter of the lifespan
etc.
2
Note: An enamel-coated steel cabinet has a radiant heat value of 5.5 W/m
and degrees C.
Installing a fan inside the cabinet will even out the temperature, while moving air provides
considerably better cooling than still air. A suitable fan is a 120 x 120 mm axial fan, available in
24 V DC, 115, and 230 V AC.
21
Page 22
Graphic Operator Terminal / INSTALLATION TIPS
Install the fan so that it sits in the cool
terminal. If the fan is mounted at the top and sucks air upwards, the fan’s ambient temperature is
higher resulting in a shorter lifespan.
A good fan with a ball-bearing mounting has an expected lifespan of at least 40,000 hours (not a
guaranteed lifespan) at 40 °C. This corresponds to at least 4 years of continuous use. If a
thermostat is installed, the fan only needs to come on when needed.
Large graphic terminals draw only one fifth of the current when the background lighting is off. The
loss effect drops from e.g. 25 W to only 5 W. The graphic operator terminal’s loss effect = supply
voltage x current. Virtually no power goes to external users and no loss effects due to inputs.
6.5 Safety
Most of the graphic operator terminals are powered with 24 V DC.
er area and blows cold air against the graphic operator
If you use a power supply that meets safety standards and only supplies the graphic operator
terminal, no problems should occur. However, use caution if you have a 24 V unit that also
supplies other units.
22

Graphic Operator Terminal / INSTALLATION TIPS
WARN
requirements in the event of a potential short circuit between 230 V AC and 24 V DC. It is
assumed that the 24 V feed is secure. For example, SELV according to EN 60950 (protection
against electric shock) and UL 950.
Example: This example explains why a secure 24 V DC feed can be ruined by mixing 24 V relay
contacts with 230 V AC relay contacts in a smaller controller. Check that the clearances and
creep age distances between 24 V DC and 230 V AC fulfill EN 60950 or UL 950. If not, input a
separate 24 V unit into the graphic operator terminal.
If there is a substantial distance between the relay contacts for 24 V DC and 230 V AC, it is
Connect 0 V on the 24 V feed to the ground. This offers three advantages:
ING! The graphic operator terminal does not have insulation that meets safety
safe to use the same 24 V devices for all feeds.
– Safety is increased. The 24 V feed will not be live in the event of a faulty connection or
short circuit between 0 V (24 V) and 230 V phase.
– Transients on the 24 V feed are connected to the ground.
– No risk that the 24 V feed is at a high level in relationship to the ground. This is not
unusual since there is high static electricity.
6.6 Galvanic Isolation
The graphic operator terminal has galvanic isolation against the 24 V DC feed but no galvanic
isolation between the communication ports for RS232, RS422/485 and USB. Only the Ethernet
connection isolation has galvanic isolation.
When a PC is connected to the terminal, the terminal’s internal 0 V (GND) is connected to the
protective ground via the PC.
A number of USB devices can have the shield connected together with the protective ground.
Here, the terminal’s 0 V (GND) is connected to the protective ground. For example, a USB
memory stick, keyboard or similar device is plugged in.
23
Page 24
If a number of units are connected have a 0 V and a ground connection, and these units are
connected to various grounding points, there is a substantial risk of problems. Gr ounding currents
go through communication cables, the rear plate of the controller, and internally in the graphi c
operator terminal, and can cause errors.
Note: It is important to make sure that the 24 V feed in the external insulation unit is not
connected to one of the communication outlets. If it does not have 100% insulation against the 24
V feed, disturbances and grounding currents from the 0 V on the 24 V side will disrupt
communication.
Using this type of unit solves one problem but may create a larger problem! A substandard
installation may work now, but problems may arise when other devices are connected.
6.7 Cable and Bus Termination RS485
Use shielded and twisted pair cable.
The pair capacitance may not exceed 52.5 pF/m and area at least 0.25 mm
want to use the maximum transfer distance and maximum transfer speed.
0 V, the reference voltage for communication should be included in the cabling. With two-way
communication use two pairs; one pair for communication and one pair for 0 V.
The shield must be grounded at one end. The other end is usually grou nded, but with longer
distances or when there is a difference in the ground potential, the shield should be
connected to the ground via 0.1 uF/250 V plastic capacitor to prevent ground current in the
braided shield.
Graphic Operator Terminal / INSTALLATION TIPS
2
(AWG 24), if you
A number of manufacturers recommend that the shield be grounded at each node. Various
manufacturers have different systems for bus termination. The RS485 standard does not describe
how the Fail Safe function is carried out, just that the system should be able to handle the error.
Depending on the recipients’ design, the bus wires may be on the same level or re quire pull-up or
pull-down to ensure that no faulty signals are detected when the bus is in resting mode (all
transmitters are disconnected).
