Centralized configuration
For a centralized structure, the SIMOTION P350-3 and the selected panel front are
connected to one another directly using guide rails and screws. Both are then installed
together in the control cabinet or controller housing.

Connecting the panel front to the computing unit
To connect a SIMOTION panel front to the SIMOTION P350-3, proceed as follows:
1.
Place the panel face down on a table (make sure to use a suitable surface to avoid
scratching the screen).
At the rear of the panel front, you will find 2 flat cables and one USB cable leading
through slots in the metal cover.
2.
With the computing unit standing on its edge, slot it into the cutouts on the panel front by
the lugs on the attached guide rails (side with 7-segment display).
3.
Connect the cables from the panel front to the interfaces on the computer unit.
–
2x flat cable
The cable grips must snap into place.
–
1x USB cable
4.
Lower the computer onto the panel and tighten the thumbscrews on the guide rails.
