To ensure correct dissipation of the heat generated by GF_VEDO_ML terminals, provide a minimum distance “d” of 10 cm between the rear protective surfaces of the terminals and the surfaces around them. Fig 6 - Minimum distance from surfaces in panel (10 cm) If protection against water is necessary, it is essential to do as follows when installing the panel: • make the edges of the hole for the panel perfectly smooth and flat • tighten each fastening screw (or nut) until the corner of the frame touches the panel...
4 • TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Table 14 shows the main technical characteristics of each GF_VEDO ML version. In particular, it shows characteristics for displays, processors, storage devices and interfaces. 4.1 Supported Operating Systems GF_VEDO ML terminals offer the user various types of operating systems: • VxWorks: a real-time operating system by Wind River System.
4.4 GF_VEDO ML user connections The user connections specified on Table 4 are made at the bottom by means of Gefran standard and custom connectors. Fig 10 - GF_VEDO ML connector Name Description FIELDBUS [Optional] -CAN layer 2 RS232 Serial RS-232...
4.4.1 Power supply port Power supply: 24 V d.c. ±25%. The internal power supply is galvanically isolated and protected against polarity reverses and short circuits by a resettable fuse. The connector diagram is shown in Figure 11. Note: check that the power supply is able to deliver the power needed for correct operation of the device. The device must always be grounded.
4.4.2 Autostart Port GF_VEDO ML uses the optional Autostart output to activate an external relay by means of a programmable internal timer. Activation requires that only the relay be powered, and to run the external devices you have to use the free contact of the relay (activation time approx.
4.4.4 RS-232 Port (optional) RS-232 port lets the GF_VEDO ML dialog with RS-232 serial transmission protocol at a baud rate from 9.6 kBaud to 115 kBaud. The RS-232 port is not optically isolated and uses a 9-pin (male) D-sub connector. Signal assignment is shown in Table 7.
4.4.6 FIELDBUS Port:Option CAN The optional CAN port lets GF_VEDO ML dialog via the serial standard (ISO 11898-1 of 2003) for the CAN (Controller Area Network) field bus, also known as CAN-bus. This protocol is specifically designed for excellent operation even in environments with strong electromagnetic noise, and can use a balanced potential line such as an RS-485 as means of transmission.
4.4.7 USB Port GF_VEDO ML uses USB ports to dialog via USB (Universal Serial Bus) serial communication standard. GF_VEDO ML terminals support version USB 2.0 (transmission up to 480 Mbit/s). The USB port connector is type USB-A (4 pins). Signal assignment is shown in Table 10. Voltage for VBUS is approximately +5 V with maximum current of 500 mA.
4.4.9 Matrix Keyboard port (KEY & LED) GF_VEDO ML uses the KEY & LED port to communicate with series TF keyboards. It uses a high-speed full-duplex synchronous serial interface (SPI) with proprietary communication protocol. This allows scanning of the key matrix and control of off/on status of LEDs on the keyboard. The connector is an 8-pin RJ45 without LED, which allows keyboard communication and power.
4.4.11 COMPACT FLASH memory cards The GF_VEDO ML is supplied with a COMPACT FLASH memory card in which the operating system, application, and user data are stored. The GF_VEDO card has a connector for COMPACT FLASH cards (Type II, 50 pins) with extraction button on the left.
(With jumper inserted, the battery is connected to the system). Fig 24 - Battery connection jumper accessible from outside GF_VEDO ML terminals 4.6 Label The label on the rear of the product shows: - GEFRAN logo - CE mark - UL mark (if approved) and the following information:...
As stated in the Preliminary Warnings of these Instructions for Use, correct interpretation of the Controller order code allows the hardware configuration for the controller to be identified immediately and so it is essential to quote the order code each time the Gefran Customer Care Service is contacted for assistance with any problems.
