The 6188 Operator Display Station is a sealed ergonomic industrial enclosure that gives your operators one si mple, but elegant interface to applications.

You view an application on the display of the flat panel monitor and use the keyboard, mouse, or integrated touchscreen to control and monitor your system.

The slim, attractive, tightly integrated design of the RAC6188 would be impossible to replicate with an off-the-shelf enclosure. The RAC6188 is a complete solution, ready to go with no engineering required.

The 6188 incorporates industry-leading Allen-Bradley flat panel monitors (RAC6185) to give you a bright and easy-to-read display.

Operators need a simple, efficient interface with their applicatio n . The RAC6188 is an ideal solution for your distributed control system or process control application.

This one-piece operator station connects to any standard PC computer, and it includes:

Mounting Options

The RAC6188 has four mounting options: Each option gives you the flexibility to adjust the enclosure for ideal positioning.

• Table Top and Floor Pedestal

For applications where you need the operator station in a fixed position, Rockwell Automation offers the RAC6188 with a table top

or floor pedestal mounting option. Both of these mounti ng opt ions provide side-to-side swivel (180°) and tilt (30°) for optimum viewing.

• Wall Mount Arm and Overhead

For applications where floor or tabletop space is limited, consider the overhead or wall mount arm options.

The overhead mount option allows you to mount the Operator Display Station above the operator in a fixed position. This option gives you 30° tilt adjustment.

Each wall mount arm provides 360° swivel, 30° tilt, and full side-toside positioning. Vertical positioning options depend on the enclosure material.

Enclosure Options

The RAC6188 can withstand the rigors of your harsh environment. In addition to its ergonomic design, the RAC6188 is rugged. You can chose from:

Environmental Rating NEMA 4/12 NEMA 4X

Construction Material Painted aluminum,

powder coat finish

Type 316L Stainless Steel

Remote Operation with Signal Extender

You can install the Operator Display Station up to 400 ft (122 m) away from any standard PC computer.

You can install the 6188 on the factory floor where the environment is harsh and space is at a premium, and then connect the Op erat or Display Station to the signal transmitter located on the other side of the plant. Simply connect the signal transmitter to the host PC.

You can connect to the host computer using your own low-cost, twistedpair Cat-5 cable. The video, keyboard, mouse, and touchscr een host signals are multiplexed across the Cat-5 cable by the transmitter, located at the computer and the transmitter in the Operator Display Station.

You can even connect an additional monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the transmitter for backup, troubleshooting, setup and local control. All power for the signal extender transmitter is supplied by the Operator Display Station.

This section describes how to setting up 6188.

When installing the Operator Display Station, it is important to consider environmental factors that could affect performance as well as possible effects from equipment operation on personnel and nearby equipment.

The figure on the left displays the general process to install, connect, and adjust your monitor.

Installation Guidelines

Following these guidelines will help ensure that the monitor provides safe and reliable service.

• Ensure that sufficient power is available from a single phase AC

outlet at the site.

• Ensure that sufficient space is available for air circulation necessary

for cooling.

• Ensure that the ambient air temperature will not exceed the

specified maximum temperature.

Important:

This Operator Display Station is designed to operate at a range of extremes, however it is not good design practice to continuously operate it at the highest end of the specified temperature range.

While the product will operate at its highest specified temperature, the overall life span of any electronic device is shortened when it operates at its highest rat ed temperature.

• Leave the Operator Display Station’s rear door closed at all times

during operation. The sealed enclosure affords protection against dust, dirt, and liquids in the environment.

• The Federal Communications Commission has prepared a pamphlet

that addresses the problem of radio frequency interference to radio and television reception, which should be consulted in case of problems with such interference. This publication, “How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems” (Stock #004-00000345-4) may be obtained from the US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.

Unpacking the Operator Display Station

Mounting the Operator Display Station

1. Open the top cap from the

shipping box.

2. Make sure the unit is free from defects, scratches, or other blemishes

in appearance. All Allen-Bradley products are shipped in specially designed boxes with foam inserts, to minimize the possibility of damage. However, if a problem has occurred in shipping, please make note on the bill of lading, contact the shipping carrier immediately and notify Allen-Bradley of the circumstances. In addition, save all packing materials and take p i ctures of the damage noted.

3. Make sure that the unit(s) and all accessories l i sted on the packing

slip are included.

4. With the assistance of 2-3 people, carefully lift unit out of the box by

reaching under the unit, on the sides.

5. Place the unit on a flat, level surface for further inspection.

6. Select on of the basic mounting configurations.

Mounting on a Table-Top

1. No assembly is required. Simply place the unit onto the table or

bench top.

2. You may want to adjust (tilt) the workstation forward or backward to

the best ergonomic position.

3. Tighten down the palm grip handles to lock it in place.

Mounting on a Pedestal

1. Bolt the mounting pedestal to the floor.

2. Then bolt the workstation to the mounting pedestal using hardware

supplied.

The (4) hole pattern in the 9”x9” top mounting plate matches the hole pattern in the bottom of the yoke assembly.

3. Tilt the workstation forward or backward to the best ergonomic

position and tighten down the palm grip handles to lock it in place.

Setting up Your Operator Display Station 11

Mounting Using a Flex Arm

1. Bolt the flex arm mounting plate to the mounting surface (wall or tall

pedestal) using the hardware supplied.

2. Then remove the yoke from the Operator Display Station enclosure

and mount it to the swivel part of the flex arm using the hardware provided.

3. Re-assemble the yoke to the Operator Display Station enclosure

using the two side-mount palm grip handles. This may require 1 or 2 people to hold the enclosure while installing the palm grip handle studs through the yoke index plates and into the workstation yoke mounts.

4. Tilt the workstation forward or backward to the best ergonomic

position and tighten down the palm grip handles to lock it in place.

WARNING: Once installed into the yoke, do not loosen the palm grip handles more that 1 or 2 turns while adjusting the workstation’s tilt position. Unscrewing the palm grip handles to far can cause the workstation to detach from the yoke and drop.

Mounting Overhead

1. Remove the yoke from the Operator Display Station.

2. Bolt the yoke to an overhead surface.

3. Re-assemble the yoke to the Operator Display Station enclosure

4. Tilt the workstation forward or backward to the best ergonomic

position and tighten down the palm grip handles to lock it in place.
