INSTALLATION & CONNECTIONS
The unit meets NEMA 4/IP65 requirements for indoor use, when properly
installed. The units are intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel.
INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the maximum
operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near
devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the aging process of
the bezel. The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap
product. Do NOT use solvents.
Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the
keypad or touchscreen of the unit.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
The Operator Interfaces are designed for through-panel mounting. A
neoprene gasket is provided, to enable sealing to NEMA 4/IP65 specification.
The panel cut-out diagram for the model supplied is provided. All mounting
holes should be drilled for 0.14" (3.5 mm) clearance. Care should be taken to
remove any loose material from the mounting hole to avoid such material falling
into the Operator Interface itself during installation.
CONNECTING TO A PLC
The Operator Interface is designed to operate with a PLC. A serial
communication connection must be made between the operator interface
terminal and PLC, and the details of this connection vary according to which
PLC is used.
The following section lists the connection details for the PLC to be used .
PLC TYPE
Details on how to connect to most PLCs are available on request from RLC.
CONNECTING TO AN IBM
®
PC/AT
The Operator Interface is programmed via software running on an IBM
PC/AT or a compatible computer. The connection between the PC/AT and the
operator interface terminal is made via a custom cable provided with the EDICT
Development Kit. The cable is designed for a 9-pin serial port. Please contact
your supplier if you require a 25-pin version.
PROGRAMMING PORT PIN OUT
The Operator Interface’s programming port is sometimes used to connect
other RS-232 devices, such as printers. The following illustration and table
gives the pin-out of this port to enable such connections to be made.
The above table denotes the pin names of the programming port. When
connecting, the pin name at the programming port is connected to the opposite
of that pin name at the destination device.
