Application planning

3.1 3.1 Transport

Despite the device's rugged design, its internal components are sensitive to severe
vibrations or shock. You must therefore protect the PC from severe mechanical stress when
transporting it.

You should always use the original packaging for shipping and transporting the device.

Caution
Risk of damage to the device!

When transporting the PC in cold weather, it may be submitted to extreme variations in
temperature. In this situation, ensure that no moisture (condensation) develops on or inside
the device.

If condensation has developed, wait at least 12 hours before you switch on the device.

3

Notice
When transporting the device, there is a risk that the drive drawer may open and be

damaged or that the drive may be soiled. A piece of Scotch tape serves as transport
safeguard and this should be used for every transportation.

3.2 3.2 Unpacking and checking the delivery unit

Unpacking the device

Note the following points when you unpack the unit

• It is advisable not to dispose of the original packing material. Keep it in case you have to
transport the unit again.

• Please keep the documentation in a safe place. It is required for initial commissioning and
is part of the device.

• Check the delivery unit for any visible transport damage.

• Verify that the shipment contains the complete unit and your separately ordered

accessories. Please inform your local dealer of any disagreements or transport damages.

3.4 Ambient and Environmental Conditions

3.4 3.4 Ambient and Environmental Conditions

Please note the following when you plan your project:

• The climatic and mechanical environmental conditions specified in the specifications

provided by your operating instructions.

• The clearance in the area of the ventilation slots must be at least 100 mm, so that the PC

is sufficiently ventilated.

• Do not cover the vent slots of the device.

• The device with AC power supply satisfies fire protection requirements to EN 60950-1. It

may therefore be installed without additional fire-proofing measures.

• The device with DC power supply does not satisfy fire protection requirements to

EN 60950-1. It must therefore be installed in order to comply with the requirements for a
fire-resistant enclosure.

• Always observe the mounting positions permitted for this device.

Warning
Failure to adhere to these conditions when mounting the system voids the approvals

based on UL 60950-1, UL 508 and EN 60950-1!

Installation

4.1 4.1 Installing the device

The SIMATIC Box PC 840 V2 is particularly suitable for installation in control desks, switch
cabinets and switchboards

Warning
Function test while installing the device in machines or execute systems

Following the results of a risk analysis, additional protection equipment on the machine or
the system is necessary to avoid endangering persons. With this, especially the
programming, configuration and wiring of the inserted I/O modules have to be executed, in
accordance with the necessary risk analysis identified safety performance (SIL, PL or Cat.).
The intended use of the device has to be secured.

The proper use of the device has to be varified with a function test on the system. This test
can detect programming, configuration and wiring errors. The test results have to be
documented and if necessary inserted into the relevant inputs.

Screw-mounting the brackets

Two brackets are included, depending on the device version. You can attach these to the PC
housing using six M3 x 6 mm screws.

(1) Mount the brackets onto the device using the included M3 x 5 mm screws with a max. insertion

depth of 5 mm (included in package).

5.2 5.2 Connecting the 120 V / 230 V Ac power supply

To be noted before you connect the device

Note
The varying voltage power supply module is designed for operation on 120/230/240 V AC

networks. The setting of the voltage range takes place automatically.

Caution
Do not connect or disconnect power and data cables during thunderstorms.

Caution
The device is designed for operation on grounded power supply networks (TN systems to

VDE 0100, Part 300, or IEC 60364-3).
It is not designed for operation on ungrounded or impedance-grounded power networks

(IT networks).

Caution
The permitted nominal voltage of the device must conform with local mains voltage.

Caution
The mains connector must be disconnected to fully isolate the device from mains. Ensure

easy access to this area.
A master mains disconnect switch must be installed if the device is mounted in a switch

cabinet.
Always ensure free and easy access to the power inlet on the device or that the safety

power outlet of the building installation is freely accessible and located close to the device.

SIMATIC Box PC 840 V2

5-2 Getting Started, Edition 05/2006, A5E00244266-02

Note
The power supply contains an active PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit to conform to the

EMC guidelines.
Uninterruptible AC power systems (UPS) must supply a sinusoidal output voltage in the

normal and buffered mode when used with SIMATIC PCs with an active PFC.
UPS characteristics are described and classified in the standards EN 50091-3 and IEC

62040-3. Devices with sinusoidal output voltage in the normal and buffered mode are

identified with the classification “VFI-SS-....” or “VI-SS-....”.

Connecting

5.2 Connecting the 120 V / 230 V Ac power supply

Localized information

Outside of the USA and Canada, operation on a 230 V power supply:
This device is equipped with a safety-tested power cord which may only be connected to a

grounded sealed contact power outlet. If you choose not to use this cable, you must use a
flexible cable of the following type: Min 18 AWG conductor cross-section and 15-A / 250-V
shockproof connector. The cable set must be compliant with the safety regulations and
stipulated IDs of the country where the system is to be installed.

For the USA and Canada:
For the United States and Canada, a CSA or UL-listed power cord must be used.
The connector must be compliant with NEMA 5-15.
120 V AC power supply

To be used is a flexible power cord approved to UL and with CSA label, and which has the
following features: Type SJT with three leads, min. 18 AWG conductor cross-section,
max. 4.5 m in length and parallel ground contact connector 15 A, min. 125 V.

240 V supply voltage
Use a flexible power cord with UL approval and with CSA label, and with the following
features: Type SJT with three leads, min. 18 AWG conductor cross-section, max. 4.5 m long
and tandem ground contact connector 15 A, min. 250 V.

Connecting

How to connect the device to the 120 V AC / 230 V AC power supply

1. Make sure that the ON / OFF
switch is in "0" position (Off) when
you plug in the power cord in order
to avoid unintentional startup of the
device.

2. Connect the IEC connector

3. Connecting the power cord to the
power socket

5.2 Connecting the 120 V / 230 V Ac power supply

Secure the power plug

The supplied power plug locking mechanism prevents the power plug from being pulled out
accidentally.

Steps for securing the AC power cable

1. Remove the power supply retaining
screw

2. Screw the power plug locking
mechanism into position

Warning
If the power plug is secured with a clamp, the power outlet must be freely accessible to allow

the device to be easily removed from the mains.

Note before connecting

Warning
Only connect the device to 24 V DC power supply systems which meet the requirements of a

safe extra-low voltage (SELV); in addition, a protective conductor must be connected. The
conductors must withstand the short-circuit current of the 24 V DC power source, so that a
short-circuit will not damage the cable. You may connect cables with a cross section of

2

5 mm

.

Connecting

Steps for connecting the device to the 24 V DC power supply

1. Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is
in the '0' (OFF) position to prevent
unintentional startup of the device
when connecting it to the 24 V
power supply.

2. Switch off the 24 V DC power
source.

3. Connect the protective conductor
(3) to an appropriate screw
terminal

4. Connect +24 V DC (1) and 0 V DC
(2) to the screw terminals

A low-impedance earth connection ensures that interference signals generated by external
power supply cables, signal cables or cables to the I/O modules are safely discharged to
earth.

Equipotential bonding terminal
The equipotential bonding terminal on

the device (large surface, large-area
contact) must be connected with the
central grounding busbar of the cabinet
or plant in which the PC is to be
installed. The minimum conductor
cross-section may not be less than
