FeatureDescription
Parallel PortThe parallel printer port (LPT1) is a DB-25 pin female connector. This port provides a
standard PC compatible printer interface. An external push-button reset option is
available. Consult the CPU board manual for the jumper that controls this option.
COM PortsCOM1 is RS-232/485 compatible. RS/232 is connected to the lower nine-pin stacked
DB connector. The top part of this stack is the RS/485 version of the same port. Since
these connectors are attached to the same port, only one can be used at a time. COM2
is the male 25-pin DB connector. COM2 is dedicated to the IR port, the touchscreen
controller, or the 25-pin connector. Only one option can be used at a time.
Note: If you ordered Windows NT
, the driver is on disk and a copy of the driver file is
on the hard drive. This operating system only supports COM2. Therefore, the
touchscreen will be on COM2, and COM2 will not be available for other use.
Keyboard PortThe keyboard port is a PS/2 stacked mini-din so a PC/AT keyboard can be attached at
either the front or side of the unit. The keyboard port on the side of the unit is the lower
connector. Do not use when in the presence of a hazardous environment. Note: You
cannot use both keyboard ports on the 3535 at the same time.
Mouse PortThe mouse port is a PS/2 stacked mini-din that allows you to attach a mouse at the
side of the unit. If you receive a unit with a touchscreen, this port may be covered with
a label stating that the port is not functional as shipped. This is dependent upon the
operating system installed.
Note: If the unit has a touchscreen and MS-DOS, Windows
3.x or Windows 95, the
touchscreen is configured for the mouse port, making the mouse port unavailable.
Reconfigure the touchscreen for use on COM2 to make mouse port functional.
Warning: To maintain a safe condition, do not use an external keyboard and/or
mouse port when the unit is operating in a hazardous environment.
Video PortThe video port is a 15-pin D-sub VGA connector at the side of the unit. This connector
supports any standard VGA connection. The video port is shipped disabled. This port is
active if an LCD flat panel is not connected. A jumper can be used to switch between
the VGA port and the LCD flat panel. To use both a video display on the video port and
the flat panel display, you must enable “Simultaneous Video” on the Advanced Menu in
the BIOS setup. Refer to the CPU manual for details.

Video Expansion
This section deals with the hardware expansion capability of the video controller
chip in DOS applications.
Note
It is not necessary to read this section if you are a Windows or OS/2 user and do not
plan to run DOS applications, and have not modified the default expansion mode in
the BIOS setup,
Unlike a CRT, a flat panel display has a fixed horizontal and vertical resolution.
There are many DOS video modes whose resolution is less than that of a flat panel
display. In order to more efficiently make use of the flat panel display’s active area,
it is necessary to employ an expansion technique which stretches the lower
resolution information to fill the higher resolution of the display. For example, DOS
defaults to VGA video mode 3+. This is an 80 column, 25-row text only screen
whose effective resolution is 640 dots x 400 scan lines. Because of this, the 800 x
600 display of the system will be partially filled by the 640 x 400 resolution of this
particular mode. By enabling the expansion function, these lower resolutions will
better utilize the display by stretching the information in an attempt to fill the
display. Operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 95, and Windows NT use
display drivers to handle the different flat panel displays. Here expansion is not
necessary since there is a specific driver for each resolution display.
Expansion does not add any resolution to the existing information; it simply stretches
the information to better fit the display. Text and graphic screens can look somewhat
grainy from the process of expansion. If the effect of expansion is undesirable, it can
be turned off either in the BIOS setup, or by executing an included utility program.
See the table below for the three utility programs included to allow expansion to be
turned on, turned off, and set back to the BIOS default state and what effect they
have on the display.
Vert - Vertical only expansion is invoked
Vert/Hor - Vertical and Horizont al expansion is invoked
Expansion Default - The video BIOS default on power up
* Text expansion cannot be turned off
With an 800 x 600 display, the stretching algorithm does not completely fill the
display horizontally or vertically. A greater vertical text expansion can be achieved
by changing to VGA mode 3* (see Note below). This is also an 80 column, 25 row
text mode but with an effective resolution of 640 x 350. The 350 lines stretch better
to fill the 768-line display than does the default DOS mode 3+.
Note
The utility diskette includes a program titled MOD3_350.EXE, to allow switching to
the VGA mode 3*. Another utility program, MOD3_400.EXE, is provided to put the
mode back to the DOS default of 3+.
Windows may come up with a blank screen when using Windows 3.X with
expansion turned on either through the BIOS setup or the EXP_ON.EXE utility. The
two options (second option being the best) for this situation are listed below:
• Option 1 – Pressing the
display, letting you know that pressing
CTRL-ALT-DEL keys simultaneously. A blue screen will
CTRL-ALT-DEL again will reboot the
system or pressing any key will return you to Windows. At this point, press any
key and the normal Windows screen should appear.
• Option 2 – Turn off the expansion, set the BIOS default in the BIOS setup menus
using the appropriate utility as shown in the Video Expansion Options table.

3500 Flat Panel Industrial PCs
Installing the System into a Panel
The system’s rugged design allows it to be installed in most industrial environments.
The system is generally placed in a NEMA 4/4X/12 enclosure to protect against
contaminants such as dust, moisture, etc. Metal enclosures also help minimize the
effects of electromagnetic radiation that nearby equipment can generate.
Mounting Considerations
Once you have established a location for the 3500, install it in the enclosure
according to the instructions that follow:
•Select a NEMA rated enclosure and place the unit to allow easy access to the system
ports.
• Account for the unit’s depth when choosing the depth of the enclosure.
• Provide a NEMA 4 seal by mounting the unit in an approved enclosure that has a 14
gauge (0.075"/1.9mm thick) steel or (0.125"/3.2mm thick) aluminum front face.
• Mount the unit in an upright position.
• Place the unit at a comfortable working level.
• Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior
lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience.
• Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air conditioner.
• To allow for maximum cooling, avoid obstructing the airflow.
• Place any fans or blowers close to the heat generating devices. If using a fan, make
sure that outside air is not brought inside the enclosure unless a fabric or other
reliable filter is used. This filtration prevents conductive particles or other harmful
contaminants from entering the enclosure.
•Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive electromagnetic
interference (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI) (equipment such as high power
welding machines, induction heating equipment and large motor starters).
•Place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage
transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) away from the system.
The proper location of incoming line devices keep power wire runs as short as
possible and minimizes electrical noise transmitted to the unit.
•Make sure the location does not exceed the unit’s shock, vibration, and temperature
specifications.
•Install in the rack or panel in such a way as to ensure that it does not cause a hazard
from uneven mechanical loading.
•Incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring on permanently
connected equipment.
•Avoid circuit overloading of the supply circuit.
48
System Power
Using isolation transformers on the incoming AC power line to the system is always
a good practice. An isolation transformer is especially desirable in cases in which
heavy equipment is likely to introduce noise onto the AC line. The isolation
transformer can also serve as a step-down transformer to reduce the incoming line
voltage to a desired level. The transformer should have a sufficient power rating
(units of volt-amperes) to supply the load adequately.
Proper grounding is essential to all safe electrical installations. Refer to the relevant
Federal, State/Provincial, and local electric codes which provides data such as the
size and types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for safe
grounding of electrical components. The code specifies that a grounding path must
be permanent (no solder), continuous, and able to safely conduct the ground-fault
current in the system with minimal impedance (minimum wire required is 18 Awg, 1
mm).
Observe the following practices:
•Separate ground wires (P.E. or Protective Earth) from power wires at the point of
entry to the enclosure. To minimize the ground wire length within the enclosure,
locate the ground reference point near the point of entry for the plant power supply.
Chapter Three - Installation
•All electrical racks or chassis and machine elements should be Earth Grounded in
installations where high levels of electrical noise can be expected. The rack/chassis
should be grounded with a ground rod or attached to nearby Earth structure such as a
steel support beam. Each different apparatus should be connected to a single Earth
Ground point in a “star” configuration with low impedance cable. Scrape away paint
and other nonconductive material from the area where a chassis makes contact with
the enclosure. In addition to the ground connection made through the mounting bolt
or stud, use a one-inch metal braid or size #8 AWG wire to connect between each
chassis and the enclosure at the mounting bolt or stud.
Excessive Heat
The units withstand temperatures from 0º to 50ºC. The systems are cooled by
convection, in which a vertical column of air is drawn in an upward direction over
the surface of its components. To keep the temperature in range, the cooling air at
the base of the system must not exceed 50°C. Allocate proper spacing between
internal components installed in the enclosure.
When the air temperature is higher than the specified maximum in the enclosure, use
a fan or air conditioner to lower the temperature.
Electrical Noise
Electrical noise is seldom responsible for damaging components, unless extremely
high energy or high voltage levels are present. However, noise can cause temporary
malfunctions that can result in hazardous machine operation in certain applications.
Noise may be present only at certain times, may appear as widely spread intervals, or
in some cases may exist continuously.
Noise commonly enters through input, output, and power supply lines and may also
be coupled through the capacitance between these lines and noise signal carrier lines.
49
3500 Flat Panel Industrial PCs
This usually results from the presence of high voltage or long, close-spaced
conductors. When control lines are closely spaced with lines carrying large currents,
the coupling of magnetic fields can also occur. Use shielded cables to help minimize
noise. Potential noise generators include switching components relays, solenoids,
motors, and motor starters.
Refer to the relevant Federal, State/Provincial, and local electric codes which
provides data such as the size and types of conductors, color codes and connections
necessary for safe grounding of electrical components. It is recommended that the
high voltage and low voltage cabling be separated and dressed apart. In particular,
the AC cables and switch wiring should not be in the same conduit with all
communication cables.
50
Line Voltage Variation
The unit’s power supply is built to operate with output voltage ranges of 90-132
VAC and 180-264 VAC or 20-36 VDC, whichever applies, and still allow the system
to function within its operating margin. As long as the incoming voltage is adequate,
the power supply provides all the logic voltages necessary to support the processor,
memory, and I/O.
In cases in which the installation is subject to unusual AC line variations, use a
constant voltage transformer to prevent the system from shutting down too often.
However, a first step toward the solution of the line variations is to correct any
possible feed problem in the distribution system. If this correction does not solve the
problem, use a constant voltage transformer.
The constant voltage transformer stabilizes the input voltage to the 3510/3512 by
compensating for voltage changes at the primary in order to maintain a steady
voltage at the secondary. When using a constant voltage transformer, check that the
power rating is sufficient to supply the unit.
Creating a Power Cable
Chapter Three - Installation
This section describes how to create both an AC and DC power cable.
AC Power Cable
You must create an AC power cable to supply power to units with AC power
supplies. You will need the following materials:
• A three-position power connector (supplied).
• A braid/foil shielded power cable, terminated at power source end, with three 18 (1.0
mm), 16 (1.3 mm), or 14 (1.6 mm) AWG solid or stranded copper wire, rated 80º C
or better.
Perform the following steps to create the cable:
1. Cut the wire cable to the desired length.
2. Strip 0.25-inch (6 mm) of insulation from the end of the conductor wire. No bare
wire should be exposed when the cable is connected to the workstation.
3. Tin the wire ends with solder if using stranded wire. This will keep the wire
from fraying.
Warning
When inserting the wire ends of the power cable into the block plug, be sure there is no
exposed wire. Trim the wire ends of the cable or cut a new cable if necessary.
4. Insert the three wire ends of the power cable into the three holes of the block
plug. Insert the Protective Earth GND ground, L1, and L2/N wires into the
corresponding holes, as shown in Figure 3-8. Be sure that no bare wires are
exposed.
51
3500 Flat Panel Industrial PCs
5. Tighten the three screws above the wires to hold them firmly in place.
Never tighten the three screws of the block plug when the cable is connected to a power
source. The screws are conductive and have full contact with the cable wire.
6. Use a cable clamp and #6-32 screw (provided) to secure and provide strain relief
to the power cable. When installing the power cable to the unit, use the securing
screws on each side of the plug. This strain relief is mandatory for hazardous
locations compliance.
Figure 3-21. AC Power Connector
Warning
Warning
Completely loosen the two securing screws on the plug when disconnecting the power
cord from the unit.
DC Power Cable
You must create a DC power cable to supply power to units with DC power supplies.
You will need the following materials:
• A three-position power connector (supplied)
• A braid/foil shielded power cable with three 18 (1.0 mm), 16 (1.3 mm), or 14 (1.6
mm) AWG solid or stranded copper wire, rated 80º C or better.
Perform the following steps to create the DC power cable:
1. Cut the wire cable to the desired length.
2. Strip 0.25-inch (6 mm) of insulation from the end of the conductor wire. No bare
wire should be exposed when the cable is connected to the workstation.
3. Tin the wire ends with solder if using stranded wire. This will stop fraying.
Warning
When inserting the wire ends of the power cable into the block plug, be sure there is no
exposed wire. Trim the wire ends of the cable or cut a new cable if necessary.
52
Chapter Three - Installation
4. Insert the three wire ends of the power cable into the three holes of the block
plug. Insert the Protective Earth GND ground, + (positive), and - (return) wires
into the corresponding holes, as shown in Figure 3.19. Be sure that no bare wires
are exposed.
Figure 3-22. DC Power Connector
5. Tighten the three screws above the wires to hold them firmly in place.

Hazardous Locations Installations
Xycom Automation designed the systems to meet the requirements of Class I,
Division 2 Hazardous Locations applications. Division 2 locations are those
locations that are normally non-hazardous, but could become hazardous due to
accidents that may expose the area to flammable vapors, gases or combustible dusts.
These systems have been designed as non-incendiary devices. They are not
intrinsically safe and should never be operated within a Division 1 (normally
hazardous) location when installed as described here. Nor should any peripheral
interface device attached to these systems be located within Division 1 locations
unless approved and/or certified diode barriers are placed in series with each
individual signal and DC power line. Any such installations are beyond the bounds
of Xycom design intent. Xycom Automation accepts no responsibility for
installations of this equipment or any devices attached to this equipment in Division
1 locations.
It is the customer's responsibility, when adding additional cards, that they meet
operating conditions for Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.
Chapter Three - Installation
Note
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the product is properly rated for
the location. If the intended location does not presently have a Class, Division, and
Group rating, then users should consult the appropriate authorities having
jurisdiction in order to determine the correct rating for that Hazardous Location.
In accordance with Federal, State/Provincial, and Local regulations, all hazardous
locations installations should be inspected by the appropriate authority having
jurisdiction prior to use. Only technically qualified personnel should install, service,
and inspect these systems.

Definitions
The following Class and Division explanations are derived from Article 500
(Sections 5 and 6) of the United States National Fire Protection Agency National
Electric Code (NFPA 70, 1990). They are not complete and are included here only
for a general description for those not familiar with generic hazardous locations'
requirements.
Persons responsible for the installation of this equipment in Hazardous Locations are
responsible for ensuring that all relevant codes and regulations related to location
rating, enclosure, and wiring are met.
Class I Locations
Class I locations are those in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present
in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.
Class II Locations
Class II locations are those that are, or may become, hazardous because of the
presence of combustible dust.
Chapter Three - Installation
Division 1 Locations
A Division 1 location is one in which flammable or ignitable gasses, vapors, or
combustible dusts and particles can exist due the following conditions:
• Normal operating conditions.
• Because of repair, maintenance conditions, leakage, or where mechanical failure or
abnormal operation of machinery or equipment might release or cause explosive or
ignitable mixtures to be released or produced.
•Combustible dusts of an electrically conductive nature may be present in hazardous
quantities.
Note
Xycom Automation systems are not suitable for installation within Division 1
locations.
Note
Electrical equipment cannot be installed in Division 1 locations unless they are
intrinsically safe, installed inside approved explosion-proof enclosures, or installed
inside approved purged and pressurized enclosures.
59
3500 Flat Panel Industrial PCs
Division 2 Locations
Division 2 locations are listed below:
•Class I volatile flammable liquids or flammable gasses are handled, processed, or
used, but confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can
escape only in cases of accidental rupture or breakdown of such enclosures or
systems, or in case of abnormal operation of equipment.
•Ignitable concentrations of Class I vapors or gasses are normally prevented by
positive mechanical ventilation, but which may become hazardous due to mechanical
failure of those ventilation systems.
• Location is adjacent to a Division 1 location.
• Class II combustible dust is not normally in the air in quantities sufficient to produce
explosive or ignitable mixtures. Dust accumulations are normally insufficient to
interfere with normal operation of electrical equipment or other apparatus.
Combustible dust may be in suspension in the air as a result of the following:
malfunctioning of handling or processing equipment; combustible dust
accumulations on, or in the vicinity of electrical equipment; may be ignitable by
abnormal operation or failure of electrical equipment.
Hazardous Locations Group Ratings
All electrical equipment that is approved for use in hazardous locations must include
a group rating. Various flammable and combustible substances are divided into these
groups as a function of their individual maximum experimental safe gap (MESG),
explosion pressure, and ignition temperature.
Component temperatures and the potential for spark based upon voltage, current, and
circuit characteristics, within electrical equipment, will determine what the
equipment group rating will be. A device approved for installation within Class I,
Group A locations may also be used in Groups B, C, or D.
Approved Class I equipment may not be suitable for Class II installations. Class I
includes Groups A, B, C, and D. Class II includes Groups F, and G.
Enclosures
The systems are designed for installation within a clean and dry enclosure for both
ordinary and hazardous locations. The front panel meets the requirements of UL and
CSA Type 4, 4X, and 12 enclosures. The enclosure used for Class I hazardous
locations should have a minimum rating of Type 12 (NEMA 12, IP 5X). However,
Type 4 (IP 6X) enclosures are strongly recommended.
Note
60
Warning
The optional floppy disk/keyboard port access door must be closed and latched at all
times in order to maintain a proper seal against the intrusion of water and dust.
Panel flatness and rigidity are important if a proper panel seal is to be maintained. If
non-metal type enclosures, such as plastic or fiberglass, are to be used, install a rigid
metal stiffener behind the front panel. Failure to do so may result in an inadequate
panel seal due to flexure of the front panel material between the stud mounts.
Tighten the nuts on the mounting studs to 25-inch pounds.
The requirements for enclosure fittings, conduit, and wiring vary according to the
specific rating of the location and the type of flammable or combustible material
involved. Those requirements are beyond the scope of this document and it is the
responsibility of the customer to ensure that their installation is compliant with codes
and regulations that apply to their specific location. Reference NFPA 70, Article 500
for specific regulations in the United States.
Power Switch
The 3500 systems do not have a power switch. The amount of input power required
by these systems classifies the power switch as an incendiary device because the
voltage and current across the make/break device are capable of creating a spark.
Chapter Three - Installation
Hazardous locations' regulations require that a power switch rated for ordinary
locations may be used if it is located in an area specified as non-hazardous.
However, limits in cable length between the workstation and the power switch may
apply. Otherwise the switch must be compliant with Class I, Division 1 requirements
(intrinsically safe). These switches are built in a manner that prevents the possibility
of a spark when contacts are made or broken.
Use suitable UL listed and/or CSA Certified Class I, Division 1 switches in
hazardous locations. These switches are available from a wide number of sources. It
is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the power switch selected for their
installation has the correct hazardous locations rating for the location in which it is
installed.
Cable Connections
Division 2 hazardous location regulations require that all cable connections be
provided with adequate strain relief and positive interlock. Never connect or
disconnect a cable while power is applied at either end of the cable.
Communication Cable Interface
All communication cables should include a chassis ground shield. This shield should
include both copper braid and aluminum foil. The D-sub style connector housing
should be a metal conductive type (e.g., molded zinc) and the ground shield braid
should be well terminated directly to the connector housing. Do not use a shield
drain wire.
The outer diameter of the cable must be suited to the inner diameter of the cable
connector strain relief in order to ensure that a reliable degree of strain relief is
maintained. Always secure the D-Sub connectors to the workstation mating
connectors via the two screws located on both sides.
61
3500 Flat Panel Industrial PCs
Never connect or disconnect the communication cables while power is applied at either
end of the cable. This may result in an incendiary spark. Permanent damage to the
workstation communication components may occur.
Operation and Maintenance
The systems have been designed for compliance with relevant spark ignition tests.
However, please note that the workstation front panel contrast adjustment tactile
switches and keyboard connector are the only make/break components intended to be
exercised by the operator in the course of normal operation.
In order to maintain a safe condition, never use an external keyboard or mouse when
the unit is operating in the presence of a hazardous environment.
Warning
Warning
With respect to Hazardous Location installations, always observe the following rules:
1. Always install the workstations within an enclosure suitable for the specific
application. General purpose enclosures may be acceptable for Class I
applications but are never acceptable for Class II applications. Type 4 (IP 65)
enclosures are recommended even when not required by regulations.
2. If present, keep enclosure doors or openings closed at all times, to avoid the
accumulation of foreign matter inside the workstation.
3. Never subject the unit to any installation or service procedures unless power is
known to be removed and the area is known to be non-hazardous. This includes
the installation or removal of power cables, communication cables, or removal of
the rear cover of the unit.
4. Only technically qualified service personnel should perform all installation and
service. These workstations are designed to require no service in the course of
normal operation by an operator.

Chapter 6 - Maintenance
The 3500 is designed to withstand the harsh environment of the factory floor.
Routine maintenance can help keep your system in good operating condition.
Preventive maintenance consists of several basic procedures that will greatly reduce
the chance of system malfunction. Schedule preventive maintenance along with the
regular equipment maintenance to minimize down time.
Preventive Maintenance
Here are some preventive measures you can take:
•Clean the monitor screen using a non-residue cleaner such as a mild window
cleaning solution or CRT screen cleaner. Take care not to scratch the screen face.
•Clean or change the fan filter periodically to ensure that the air circulating in the
unit is clean. Wash the filter with warm water and dish soap, and let it air dry. Do not
scrub the filter, and do not re-install it into the unit until it is completely dry.
Chapter Six - Maintenance
•Base your maintenance schedule on the type of environment the system is in (i.e., if
the area is dusty, you should schedule maintenance more often than if it is a dry,
clean area). Check the filter often to determine if it needs to be changed ahead of
schedule.
•Remove dust and dirt from PC components. If dust builds up on heat sinks and
circuitry, an obstruction of heat dissipation could cause the unit to malfunction. If
dust reaches the electronic boards, a short circuit could occur.
•Check the connections to I/O modules, especially in environments where shock could
loosen the connections. Check to see that all plugs, sockets, terminal strips, and
module connections are solid.
•Remove unnecessary articles, such as drawings or manuals, from the unit. They can
obstruct air flow and create hot spots, which causes the system to malfunction.
• Do not place noise-generating equipment near the 3510/3512.
• Stock spare partsto minimize down time resulting from part failure. Spare parts
stocked should be 10 percent of the number of each unit used. Main CPU cards
should have one spare each. Each power supply should have a back up. In
applications where immediate operation of a failed system is required, you may need
to stock an entire spare computer module. Refer to the Spare Parts List in this
chapter.
•Replace the module with the correct type. If the new module solves the problem but
the failure reoccurs, check for inductive loads that may be generating voltage and
current spikes and may require external suppression.
