Installation Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when planning your installation:
•
Never run wires for 120V and for lower voltages (e.g., 24V) inside the same conduit.
•
Run flexible, liquid-tight conduit for high voltage lines (e.g., 120V power) to the knockout at the
bottom right of the SMI 2 enclosure or to the appropriate location on your console if you have an
SMI 2 panel mount.
•
Run a conduit for low voltage lines (i.e., 24 VDC inputs and machine inhibit outputs) through one
of the rear knockouts at the bottom left of the SMI 2 enclosure or to the appropriate location on
your console.
•
Run a conduit for the Ethernet cable through the center knockout at the bottom of the SMI 2
enclosure or to the appropriate location on your console.
NOTICE
You may choose to run 24 VDC input wires, machine inhibit output wires, and Ethernet cable
through the same conduit.
•
The SMI 2 enclosure is rated NEMA 12 (protected against dust and oil). If you have ordered the
enclosure, you must use conduit of the same rating and make proper connections to ensure
NEMA 12 protection.
•
Good grounds at the SMI 2 are important. Make sure that the SMI 2 is properly grounded.
•
The ground wire from SMI 2 should be connected to the main ground point of the machine. This
may be near the control transformer ground.
NOTICE
Before starting the installation, make sure to check all modes of machine operation. Verification
that the machine operates and stops properly is extremely important because SMI 2 will be
connected to the machine’s inhibit circuit. Do not forget to mark on your electrical prints where
you wire in SMI 2.
Mounting the SMI 2
The SMI 2 is provided in an enclosure or as a panel mount. Mounting instructions for both SMI 2
configurations are given in the following sections.
Before you begin, determine a convenient place to mount your SMI 2. Ideally, the unit should be
close to the machine control so operators and setup personnel can easily see and reach the displays on
the touch screen.
Mounting the SMI 2 Enclosure
The SMI 2 enclosure can be mounted to the machine, on a free-standing pedestal, or on a pendant. To
mount the enclosure, follow these steps, referring to Figure 2-1, page 17, for mounting dimensions.
