WARNING
CAUTION
death or major equipment damage may occur.
Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or
machine damage can occur.
WARNING
• To avoid the possibility of an electric shock, be sure to
connect the power cord to the PL before connecting it
to the main power supply.
• A fire or electrical shock may occur if voltages used with
the PL are beyond the specified range. Be sure to use
only the specified voltage.
• Before opening the PL unit’s rear maintenance cover, be
sure to turn the unit’s power OFF. This is because the
PL unit’s internal parts carry high voltages.
• To avoid fires or electrical hazards, do not modify the PL
in any way.
• Do not create touch panel switches that are used to either
control or to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel. Mechanical switches, such as an emergency stop
switch, a deadman (two-handed) start switch, etc., must be
installed and operated via a separate control system.

Preface
WARNING
• After the PL unit’s backlight burns out, unlike “Standby
Mode”, the PL unit’s touch panel is still active. If the
operator fails to notice that the backlight is burned out
and touches the panel, a potentially dangerous machine
operation error can occur.
If your PL unit's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the
following steps to determine if the backlight is actually
burned out.
1) If your PL is
screen has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.
2) Or, if your PL
the screen does not cause the display to reappear,
your backlight is burned out.
• If metal particles, water or other types of liquids contact
any of the PL unit’s internal parts, immediately turn the unit’s
power OFF, unplug the power cord, and contact either your
PL distributor or the Digital Electronics Corporation.
• Read and understand Chapter 4 “Installation and Wiring” thoroughly in order to select an appropriate installation location for the PL.
• Before either plugging in or unplugging a board or interface connector, be sure to turn the PL unit’s power OFF.
• To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the PL in
areas containing flammable gases.
not set to "Standby Mode" and the
is set to Standby Mode, but touching
• Do not use the PL unit with aircraft control devices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or
medical life support equipment, due to their inherent requirements of extremely high levels of safety and reliability.
• When using the PL with transportation vehicles (trains,
cars and ships), disaster and crime prevention devices,
various types of safety equipment, non life-support-related medical devices, etc. be sure to design redundant
and/or fail-safe system designs to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

Preface
CAUTION
• Do not strike the touch panel with a hard, heavy or
pointed object, or press on the touch panel with excessive force, since it may damage the panel.
• Do not expose the PL to, or operate the PL in direct sunlight, high temperatures and humidity, and in areas where
excessive dust and vibration will occur.
• Do not use the PL in areas where sudden, extreme changes in
temperature can occur. These changes may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly causing an accident.
• To prevent the PL from overheating, be sure its air circulation vents are clear and clean, and keep the unit’s
operation area well-ventilated.
• Do not operate or store the PL near chemicals, or where
chemicals can come in contact with the unit.
• To extend the lifetime of the PL unit's Hard Disk Drive
(HDD), use the BIOS, [POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP][HDD Power Down] setting to stop the HDD motor when
the HDD is not being operated. The factory setting of
“5Min” is recommended.
With Windows®2000:
Use the [Control Panel] -> [Power Option] -> [Power Set-
ting] feature to turn the HDD off when not in use.
(Recommended setting: [After 5 mins]
When PL Hard Disk Drive (HDD) data is lost:
• The Digital Electronics Corporation cannot be held responsible or provide any compensation for damage(s)
caused by the loss of data stored in the PL unit’s hard
disk drive (HDD). It is therefore strongly suggested that
all important data and software be backed up regularly
to an external data backup device.
• Be aware that the Digital Electronics Corporation bears no
responsibility for any damages resulting from the
customer’s application of this unit’s hardware or software.

PL-5910 Series User Manual
Preface
CAUTION
• Since the PL unit’s hard disk drive (HDD) is a consum-
able item, i.e. it has a finite lifetime, be sure to back up its
data regularly and prepare a spare HDD unit.
• To prevent file data damage, be sure to shut down the
PL unit’s OS before turning OFF the main power.
• After turning OFF the PL unit's power, be sure to wait
until the internal HDD stops spinning before turning the
power ON again (approx. 5 seconds).
• Do not turn PL unit's power OFF while the HDD is operating.
About the PL unit's Display Panel
• The PL unit's currently displayed data, its voltage and brightness setting each affect
the intensity of Contouring. (i.e., when some parts of the screen are brighter than
others, creating a wavelike pattern)
• There are minute grid-points (dark and light) on the Display Panel surface. This is part
of the PL unit's design and not a defect.
• Shadows may appear at the top of the LCD. This is normal for an LCD display.
• Sometimes the display area may look as if the display colors have changed.
This is a common attribute of LCD displays and is not a defect.
• Displaying a single image for long periods can cause an afterimage to remain when the
display is changed to another screen. To prevent this, periodically turn the PL OFF
and then ON again to remove this afterimage.

Chapter 1 - PL Basics
• The PL is equipped with three IDE interfaces. Two can be used by the HDD or
FFD units (PL-5911T can use only one), and one can be used by either the CDROM drive or the Mirror Disk unit. Physically, even though up to three IDE
drive units can be connected at the same time, IDE interface specifications
require that a controller's simultaneous operation be limited to a single master
and slave unit, for a total of two devices. The following chart shows the combinations available when using two IDE units (PL-5911T can use only one).
MSMMMMSSS
CD-ROM Drive Un i tSSSS
CF Card Un i tSSS M M M M MS
MS: Combination of 2 units - Master or Slave, is possible.
M: Used only for Master.
S: Used only for Slave.
• Since the PL unit's hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable item, i.e. it
has a finite usage lifetime, be sure to back up its data frequently and
perform regular maintenance.
• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unforeseen
environmental factors, however, generally speaking, at an operating
o
temperature of 20
C and assuming 333 hours of operation (HDD motor is ON) per month (an access time of 20% or less), the HDD unit
should last for 20,000 hours (power is ON) or approximately 5 years,
whichever comes first.
Commercially Available Items
PL-5910 Series units can all use commercially available expansion boards (PCI/ISA
compatible) as well as a standard keyboard, mouse, printer, and USB-compatible
devices. However, among the commercially available USB devices, not all will be
compatible with the PL unit.
• Be sure to use only DIM modules manufactured by Digital. Installing other
DIM modules may result in either damage to or failure of the PL, and will void
your warranty .
• When using USB type devices, be sure they are USB compatible, and be sure to
read that device's Installation Guide prior to connecting it to the PL.

*1 Only PL5910-T11/PL5911-T11 units. (Rated Voltage: 100VAC)
*2 The front face of the PL unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using
conditions equivalent to the standard shown in this specification . However even
though the PL unit’s level of resistance is equivalent to the standard, oils that
should have no effect on the PL can possibly harm the unit. This can occur in areas
where either vaporized oils are present, or where low viscosity cutting oils are
allowed to adhere to the face of the unit for long periods of time. If the PL unit’s
front face protection sheet becomes peeled off, these conditions can lead to the
ingress of oil into the PL and separate protection measures are suggested. Also, if
non-approved oils are present, it may cause deformation or corrosion of the front
panel’s plastic cover. Therefore, prior to installing the PL be sure to confirm the
type of conditions that will be present in the PL unit’s operating environment.

2.2.4Clock (RTC) Accuracy
Clock(RTC) accuracy+180 seconds per month
The PL unit's built-in clock (RTC) has a slight error. At the PL's specified ambient
temperature and with the power turned OFF the error is +180 seconds per month.
However, ambient temperature fluctuations and the age of the unit may increase
this error to +300 seconds per month. If the PL unit's RTC clock accuracy is vital
to system performance, regular adjustment of this clock is required.

• Be sure the thickness of the panel is from 1.6 to 10 mm.
• All panel surfaces used should be strengthened. Especially, if
high levels of vibration are expected and the PL unit’s installation surface (i.e. an operation panel’s door, etc.) can move
(i.e.open or close), due consideration should be given to the
PL unit ’s weight.
• To ensure that the PL unit’s moisture resistance is main-
tained, be sure to install the PL into a panel that is flat and
free of scratches or dents.
• Be sure all installation tolerances are maintained to prevent
the unit from falling out of its installation panel.

Installation Location
• Avoid placing the PL next to other devices that might cause overheating.
• Keep the PL away from arc-generating devices such as magnetic switches and
non-fuse breakers.
• Avoid using the PL in environments where corrosive gases are present.
• To ensure the reliability, operability and ventilation of the PL, be sure to install
it in locations that are more than 50mm away from adjacent structures or
equipment. Also, consider the need for installing or removing expansion
boards, or connectors when designing and installing your PL.

• The Hard Disk Drive is precision equipment and should not be moved
or jolted . Especially when the PL is turned ON, even changing the
PL’s direction while it is on a table, or repositioning the unit should
not be performed, since it can lead to a hard disk crash or malfunction.
• When using a fan to cool the PL unit, be sure that the fan does not
point directly at any of the PL unit’s disk drive units, since it can lead
to a hard disk crash or malfunction.

4.2Installing the PL
4.2.1Installation Procedures
Follow the steps given below when installing the PL.
Attaching the Installation Gasket
Even if the your PL unit’s Installation Gasket is not needed to prevent water from
entering the unit, the gasket also acts as a vibration absorber and should always be
attached. To install the gasket, place the PL face down on a soft surface and attach the
gasket to the rear side of the display face, in the plastic bezel’s groove (see picture
below). Be sure the grooved face of the gasket is vertical.
• Prior to installing the PL into a cabinet or panel, check that the Instal-
lation Gasket is securely attached to the unit.
PL Rear Face
Installation
Gasket
• Use for extended periods of time or repeated removal and reattach-
ment of the PL unit in a panel may cause the installation gasket to fail
to provide moisture resistance equivalent to IP65f. To provide a consistent level of dust and moisture resistance, Pro-face recommends
replacing the gasket every year or whenever cracks or scratches appear.
• The installation gasket’s product code is PL-WS500.
• Even if the PL unit is operated in an environment where dust and mois-
ture resistance are not required, Pro-face strongly recommends the
gasket is attached.
• Since this gasket is not elastic, it should not be stretched. When in-
stalling the gasket, be careful not to tear it, especially in bezel corners.
• Do not press the gasket’s seam into any of the bezel’s corners. If the
seam is placed in a corner, strain on the gasket may cause it to tear at
the seam.
• To produce a consistent level of dust and moisture resistance, be sure
to insert the gasket’s seam in the bottom portion of the bezel, not in
the sides or top.
• The gasket is correctly inserted if approximately 2mm of gasket is vis-
ible above the bezel. When installing the gasket, be sure to check that
the gasket is correctly inserted into the bezel.
• If the gasket is not inserted correctly into the bezel, the moisture and
dust resistance level will not be equivalent to IP65f.

• If voltage fluctuations are expected to
vary beyond the specified range,
connect a constant voltage transformer.
2.1 General Specifications
• Use a low-noise power supply both
between the lines and between the PL
and its ground. If there is still excess
noise, connect an insulating transformer (noise-prevention type).
Be sure any constant or insulating transformer used has a capacity of 200VA or
more.
• Wire the power cords of the PL, I/O
devices, and power supply devices
separately.

and power cord, and do not bind or
group them together.
• To prevent damage from lightning,
connect a lightning surge absorber.
• Ground the lightning surge absorber (E1) and the PL (E2) separately.
• Select a lightning surge absorber
which will not exceed the allowable circuit voltage, even when
the voltage rises to the maximum.

4.3.3Grounding Cautions
• Set up a dedicated ground when using
the rear panel’s FG terminal.
• If a dedicated ground is not possible,
use a shared ground, as shown in
figure (b).
• The grounding point must be as close
to the PL as possible, and the grounding wires must be as short as possible.
If the wires must be long, use thick,
insulated wires and run them through
conduits.

4.3.4Cautions When Connecting I/O Signal Lines
• I/O signal lines must be wired separately from charged lines.
• If the power cord needs to be wired together with the (I/O) signal lines for any
reason, use shielded lines and ground one end of the shield to the PL unit’s FG
terminal.
• To improve noise immunity, attaching a ferrite core to the power cord is recommended.
