Overview
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The nova250 Touch Panel for the Sauter EY3600 system comprises local operation of
the automation stations with the possibility of bus-wide access to the EY3600 system.
The two variants of the touch-panel – monochrome or colour – provide a convenient
graphic presentation with operation from plant lists or graphics, time programs and
historical data by touching the surface of the panel. Operational security can be
implemented by assigning passwords and user rights for different users. The touchpanel can be fitted into a motor control centre or onto a top-hat rail.
These Operating Instructions aim to explain the basic functions of the touch-panel and
to aid operation of the automatically created application.
In the rest of this section, you will find information on installing the touch-panel. If the
device is already installed and capable of functioning, please refer to sections 2 to 4 for
the main instructions on correct operation of the touch-panel.
1.2 Installation
The Fitting Instructions (MV 505814) enclosed with the product contain information on
how to install the device correctly.
Fig. 1-1 shows how the device is installed in a switch cabinet.
Fig. 1-1: Installation in a switch cabinet
The touch-panel may also be fixed onto a top-hat rail. Accessory 0374515 is available
for a water- and dust-proof IP65 installation.

Overview
1.3 Connections
Fig. 1-2 shows all the connections. The touch-panel must be connected to a power
supply (230 V~ or 115 V~) with an earth protection wire and to the EY3600 novaNet
system bus (RJ-11).
Fig. 1-2: Connections
As the power supply is permanently installed and is not in the low-voltage range, the
installation must be carried out by a trained specialist (technician, electrician or installer).
The other connections such as the RJ-45 connection for Ethernet and the DB-9 interface
(RS232) are used only for any application downloads and firmware updates that may be
needed.
Note
You must select the correct cable for the novaNet connection in accordance with the
EY3600 specifications, in order to prevent interference on the data line.

Overview
1.4 Light-emitting diodes
The touch-panel has two light-emitting diodes that are used. The green
one in the middle flashes when the touch-panel has the correct voltage supply. The red
light-emitting diode on the left flashes when an active application is showing an alarm
status.
Fig. 1-3: Touch-panel with light-emitting diodes
Note
The alarm LED never flashes in the main menu or in the application list menu, i.e. if an
application is not enabled.
1.5 Configuration
The touch-panel can be used directly, without configuration, with the Sauter EY3600
system. When you do this, the configuration of the automation stations is read
automatically and the touch-panel application is created. Sections 3 and 4 describe the
standard functions and section 5 explains the touch-panel settings.
Note
If you do not wish to use this application, individual applications and dynamised pictures
can be created with the CASE Touch-panel Configurator (CASE TPC). All the options
that can be configured and programmed with the CASE TPC require technical input and
are not covered by these Operating Instructions. More information is available in the
CASE TPC manual (7001020Fig. 5-6). Sauter will be happy to provide further
information.
