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
Caution
injury, death or major equipment damage
may occur .
Indicates situations where slight bodily
injury or machine damage can occur.
WARNINGS
• To avoid the possibility of an electric shock, be sure to
disconnect 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.
• 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.

PL-6920/PL-7920 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
devices, 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.
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.

not use thinner or organic sol-
PL-6920/PL-7920 Series User Manual
Preface
CAUTIONS
• 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 circu-
lation 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 cannot be held re-
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.
• Since the PL unit’s hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable item, i.e. it has a limited 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’s OS before turning OFF the main power.
• After turning OFF the PL's power, wait until the internal
HDD stops spinning before turning on the power again
(approx. 5 seconds).
• When the PL unit's standard display is connected to the
PL using the USB connection, wait three (3) seconds
before turning the power ON again.

Preface
LCD Usage and Handling
The PL’s LCD contains a strong irritant. If the panel is ever cracked and the
LCD’s liquid contacts your skin, be sure to wash it with running water for at
least 15 minutes. If any of this liquid should enter your eye, be sure to flush your
eye with running water for more than 15 minutes and see a doctor as soon as
possible.
The brightness of the LCD screen will depend on the screen’s current display
and the LCD’s contrast adjustment. Any brightness variations that result are
normal for LCD displays.
There are minute grid-points (Dark or Light points) on the LCD surface. These
points are not defects and are a part of the PL unit’s design.
The displayed color will look different when viewed from an angle outside the
specified view angle. This is also normal.
When installing this unit, be sure that the screen is viewable from within the
designated viewing angles. The screen image being difficult to see from outside
its recommended viewing angle is 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 LCD displays, and
is not a defect. To prevent this effect, you can:
1) Use the Display OFF feature; if the same image is to be displayed for a long
period of time.
2) Change the screen display periodically to prevent the displaying of a single
image for a long period of time.
Indicates a warning or a product limitation. Be sure to follow the instructions given with this icon to insure the safe operation of the PL.

Overview
The PL-6920 and PL-7920 Series units can all use commercially available expansion boards
(PCI/ISA compatible) as well as a standard keyboard, mouse,printer, etc. When using a
USB cable, the PL-6920 and PL-7920 Series units can also use USB compatible devices.
However, among the commercially available USB devices, not all will be compatible with
the PL unit.
• Since the PL unit's hard disk drive (HDD) is a consumable item,
i.e. it has a limited lifetime, be sure to back up its data regularly
and prepare a spare HDD unit.
• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unforeseen environmental factors, however, generally speaking, at an
operating temperature of 20oC the disk should last for 20,000
hours (of operation) or approximately 5 years, whichever comes
first.
Commercially Available Items
• Since the PL expansion slots do not supply DC-5V and DC-12V current. To use
expansion boards requiring DC-5V or DC-12 V, the optional PL-PW100 power
supply should be installed.
• 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.

• When using any of the PL’s optional devices, be sure to check that device’s specifications for any special conditions or cautions that may apply to its use.
• When using a full sized expansion board, be sure to check its dimensions and shape,
since they will affect the board’s environment specifications, such for vibration, etc.
• Be aware that not only does the Hard Disk have a fixed lifetime, but that accidents
can always occur. Therefore, be sur e to back up your Hard Disk’s data regularly, or
prepare another Hard Disk unit that can be used for backup.
• The Hard Disk lifetime given here may be reduced due to unforeseen environmental
factors, however , generally speaking, at an operating temperature of 20
o
C the disk should
last for 20,000 hours (of operation) or approximately 5 years, whichever comes first.
• Using the Hard Disk in an environment that is excessively hot and/or humid will
shorten the disk’s usage lifetime. A maximum wet bulb temperature of 29
o
C is rec-
ommended. This is equivalent to the following data.

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

mentioned in the specification with no power flow, the allowance is +180 seconds
per month, however, the allowance may vary and could be up to +300 seconds per
month depending on the ambient temperature difference or how old the unit is. If the
clock accuracy is essential for the system, you need to adjust the clock regularly.

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.

2Installation Procedures
Follow the steps given below when installing the PL.
Attaching the Installation Gasket
Even if the your PL’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 it, 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).
• Before mounting the PL into a cabinet or panel, check that the installation
gasket is attached to the unit.
• A gasket which has been used for a long period of time may be scratched or
dirty, and may have lost much of its water resistance. Be sure to change the
gasket at least once a year, or when scratches or dirt become visible.
Installation and Wiring
Note:
• Since the gasket is flexible but not elastic, be careful not to stretch it uneccessarily,
as doing so could tear the gasket.
• Be sure, when pushing the gasket into the installation groove and around the
corners of the PL, that the gasket’s seam is not placed in a corner. Placing the
seam here could eventually cause the gasket to tear.
PL Rear Face
Gasket
Installation
Groove
Part
Gasket seam
• Be sure to place the gasket’s flat, non-grooved side facing down.
• The PL’s bezel has a part attached to it. To prevent the installation gasket from
contacting this part, be sure to press the installation gasket completely into its groove.
• If the installation gasket is not properly inserted into the groove, the gasket’ s
moisture resistance may not be equivalent to IP65f.
• When the installation gasket is properly inserted, approximately
2.0 mm of it will extend outside the groove. Before installing a PL into a
panel, be sure to confirm that the gasket is correctly in place.

• If a dedicated ground is not possible, use
a shared ground, as shown in figure (b).
• Inside the PL unit, the SG (Signal
Ground) and FG (Frame Ground) terminals are connected to each other.
• When connecting an external device to
PL with the SG terminal, ensure that no
short-circuit loop is created when you set
up the system.

• 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.
Cautions When Connecting I/O Signal Lines
• I/O signal lines must be wired separately from the power circuit cable. If the
power circuit cable needs to be wired together with the input/output (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, it is recommended to attach a ferrite core to the
power cord.
*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.
