Description

2.1

Overview

A Thin Client Unit (TCU) allows the spatial separation between an operator panel (OP) / touch
panel (TP) and the Panel Control Unit (PCU) / Numerical Control Unit (NCU). For this reason,
the user interface is copied to one/several operator panel fronts, each with a TCU.
Validity
The description applies to the following TCU:
Designation
Thin Client Unit 30.3
Features
● Implementation of flat operator panels through the shallow installation depth and low power
loss.
● Color depth: 32 bits
● 640 x 480 to 1280 x 1024 pixels
● Vibration-free mounting of the PCU in the control cabinet.
● Effective operation of larger machines.
● Signal transmission between PCU/NCU and operator panel via Industrial Ethernet
The distance of the components is determined by the maximum distance between two
network nodes / access points (100 m).
● The same operating screen is shown synchronously on all operator panel fronts and can
be operated from all operator panel fronts.
● The operation on an operator panel front connected via TCU has the same access rights
as the operation on an operator panel front connected directly to the PCU.
● The mixed operation of operator panel fronts connected via TCU and an operator panel
front connected directly to the PCU is possible.
● With restrictions to the interfaces (see Section "Operating the menu for a new TCU or
replacement TCU (Page 60)"), the TCU 30.3 is compatible to the previous models and
therefore mixed operation is possible.
Preconditions
● NCU 7x0
● Operator panel fronts:
– OP 010, OP 010C, OP 010S, OP 012, OP015, OP 015A, TP 015A, OP 019
