Preface

Essential Safety Precautions

This manual includes the following cautions concerning procedures that must be followed to operate the PL correctly and safely . Prior to operating the PL, be sure to read this manual and any related materials thoroughly to understand the correct operation and functions of this unit.

Safety Icons

To allow you to use the PL correctly, throughout this manual, the following icons are provided next to operations requiring special attention. These icons are used to describe the following situations:

Indicates situations where severe bodily

W arning

injury, death or major equipment damage may occur .

Caution

Indicates situations where slight bodily injury or machine damage can occur .

WARNINGS

• 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’s protective cover, be sure to turn the unit’s power OFF. This is because the PL’s internal parts carry high voltages.

• T o 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.

PL-7900 Series User Manual

Preface

WARNINGS

• Do not create touch panel switches which could possibly endanger the safety of humans and equipment. This is due to the possibility of a malfunction in the PL or its cable(s), causing the output of a signal that could result in a major accident. All of a system’s major, safety-related switches should be designed to be operated separately from the PL.

• After the PL’s backlight burns out, unlike the PL’s “Standby Mode”, the 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 missoperation can occur.

If your PL's backlight suddenly turns OFF, use the following

steps to determine if the backlight is actually burned out.

1) If your PL is has gone blank, your backlight is burned out.

2) Or , if your PL 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 ’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 inter-

not set to "Standby Mode" and the screen

is set to Standby Mode, but touching the

face connector, be sure to turn the PL’s power OFF.

Preface

WARNINGS

• To prevent a possible explosion, do not install the PL in

areas containing flammable gases.

• The PL is not appropriate for use with aircraft control de-

vices, aerospace equipment, central trunk data transmission (communication) devices, nuclear power control devices, or medical life support equipment, due to these devices’ 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. redundant and/or fail-safe system designs should be used to ensure the proper degree of reliability and safety.

PL-7900 Series User Manual

Preface

CAUTIONS

• Do not push on the PL’s screen too strongly, with either

your finger or with a hard object. Excessive pressure can scratch, crack or damage the screen. Also, do not use a pointed object, such as a mechanical pencil or screwdriver, to press any of the touch panel’s switches, since they can damage the display.

• If the screen becomes dirty or smudged, moisten a soft

cloth with diluted neutral detergent, wring the cloth well, and wipe the display. Do vents.

• Avoid exposing the PL to, or operating the PL in direct

sunlight, high temperatures and humidity, and in areas where excessive dust and vibration will occur.

• Avoid using the PL in areas where sudden, extreme

changes in temperature can occur . This may cause condensation to form inside the unit, possibly leading to an accident.

• To prevent the PL from overheating, be sure its air circula-

tion vents are clear and clean, and keep the unit’s operation area well-ventilated.

• Avoid operating or storing the PL near chemicals, or

where chemicals can come into contact with the unit.

When PL Hard Disk (HDD) data is lost:

• The Digital Electronics Corporation can not be held re-

not use thinner or organic sol-

sponsible or provide any compensation for damage(s) caused by the loss of data stored in the PL ’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.

• Please 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-7900 Series User Manual

Preface

! The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the

specified view angle. This is also normal.

! Displaying a single screen image for long periods of time can cause an afterimage

to remain on the screen. To correct this, turn the unit OFF for 5 to 10 minutes, then ON again. This phenomenon is a common attribute of the LCDs, and is not a defect. To prevent this effect, you can:

- use the Display OFF feature; if the same image is to be displayed for a long period of time.

- change the screen display periodically to prevent the displaying of a single image for a long period of time.

Notes on Handling the Hard Disk Drive

! The Digital Electronics Corporation cannot take responsibility or provide any

compensation for damage(s) caused by the loss of data stored in the PL-7900 series’ 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.

! Please 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.

! Please be aware that the Digital Electronics Corporation will not provide com-

pensation for any damages occurring as a result of problems with this unit’s software or hardware.

! Since the PL’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.

! T o prevent damage to file data, be sure to shut down the PL’s OS before turning

OFF the main power.

*1 Refer to 4-3-3, Grounding Cautions. *2 The front face of the PL unit, installed in a solid panel, has been tested using conditions equiva-

lent to the standard shown in the specification . 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 unit for long periods of time. If the PL’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’s operating

environment. If the installation gasket is used for a long period of time, or if the unit and its gasket are removed from the panel, the original level of the protection cannot be guaranteed. To maintain the original protection level, you need to replace the installation gasket regularly.

Follow the steps given below when installing the PL-7900 series.

Attaching the Moisture Resistant Gasket

Even if the your PL’s Moisture Resistant 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 it, place the PL face down on a soft surface and attach the packing to the rear side of the display face, in the plastic bezel’s groove. (see picture below)

Before mounting the PL into a cabinet or panel, check that the

• If voltage fluctuations are expected to vary beyond the specified range, connect a constant voltage transformer.

Reference

For information about

the specified voltage, refer to 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).

Note:

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.

• To improve noise immunity, it is recommended to attach a ferrite core to the power cord.

• Isolate the main circuit (high voltage, large current) line, I/O signal lines, 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

3 Grounding Cautions

Installation and Wiring

(a) Dedicated Ground - best

(b) Shared Ground - allowed

Other device

• 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 Cautions When Connecting I/O Signal Lines

• I/O signal lines must be wired separately from the power cord. If the power code needs to be wired together with the cord (I/O) signal lines for any reason, use shielded cables and ground one end of the shield to the PL’s FG terminal.

• To improve noise immunity, attaching a ferrite core to the power cord is recommended.

*1 Use a grounding resistance of 100Ω or less, and a 2mm2 or thicker wire, or your

country’ s applicable standard. For details, contact your local PL distributor.

7-3 Replacing the PL Backlight

The PL-7900T/PL-7901T’s backlight can be changed after it wears out. The steps involved are outlined below.

Note:

Please use the following table to identify which backlight model number to

use when ordering your backlight.

PL Type Backlight Type

PL-7900/ PL-7901 PL7900T-BL00-MS

Important

If the backlight or the display unit are damaged, the screen display will go out. Even if the screen goes out, however, there is a possibility that the touch panel is still operating correctly. Therefore, since any type of touch panel contact could have an unexpected or dangerous effect or result, be sure not to touch the screen when this condition occurs.

WARNING

• Whenever changing the backlight, be sure the PL's power cord has been disconnected and that the unit is cooled down.

• When the PL's power cord is connected and the PL is ON, high voltage runs through the wires in the backlight area—do not touch

them!

• When the PL's power has just been turned OFF, the backlight area is still very hot! Be sure to wear gloves to prevent being burned.

• Do not try to replace the backlight while the PL is installed in a cabinet or panel. Remove the PL first, then begin the backlight replacement procedures.
