VisuNet FLX Panel Electrical Installation Electrical Installation Warning! Danger of explosion! Cable insulation may become damaged if cables and connection lines are not used in ade- quate temperature ranges. Thus, short circuits within the cable may occur which in turn may give rise to sparks and/or surface temperatures capable of triggering an ignition.
VisuNet FLX Panel Electrical Installation Equipotential Bonding of the VisuNet FLX Panel The VisuNet FLX is shipped with the following PB protective (equipotential) bonding wiring connection, if the panel mount option is selected: Warning! PB protective equipotential bonding! PB protective equipotential bonding is mandatory. PB wire from the computing platform housing PB stud to the pan head screw of the panel (1).
VisuNet FLX Panel Electrical Installation If you replace the DPU, reestablish the PB connection in the same configuration. Tighten the PB hardware to 4.0 Nm and build up the equipotential bonding stackup as shown in the picture: Figure 5.2 Power Connection Warning! Hazard due to excessive current! Excessive current can cause overloading of the electronics which could then result in injury or...

VisuNet FLX Panel Electrical Installation Wiring and Connecting the Terminal Block Field Input A three-position, screw-type connector (MC311-500) is provided for connecting power to the VisuNet FLX panel. Figure 5.3 Power connector is included in the delivery. Connect a power source to the included power connector. This connector supports wire size 4 mm (~12-24 AWG).
VisuNet FLX Panel Interfaces Interfaces Caution! Damage to the electronics! The electronics can be damaged if plug-in connections are connected or disconnected while power is still being applied. Make sure that no power is being applied while connecting and disconnecting cables! Warning! Interfaces must have a strain relief in Ex-operation.
VisuNet FLX Panel Maintenance Maintenance All VisuNet FLX models perform a degree of thermal management to avoid overheating under heavy load. Note Operating temperature has influence on the VisuNet FLX lifetime. Caution! Use only approved spare parts. The installation of spare parts not intended for the VisuNet FLX may damage the device, machine or system.
VisuNet FLX Panel Maintenance Exchanging the BPC3200-* or DMU3200-* Procedure If repairs or updates are required, the computing unit can be dismounted from the DPU and be replaced. Remove the panel if required. Place the unit on a soft, raised surface so that the front will not be damaged.
Page 38
VisuNet FLX Panel Maintenance Remove the pins (USB-Touchscreen signal, LVDS-video signal and Inverter LCD backlight) from the sockets of the DPU. Make sure to pull all the side tabs of the connectors evenly and smooth. Note Make sure to pull the side tabs of the connectors. Pulling on the wires can cause the pins to be removed from the connectors, especially with small wires and contacts that are found on the LVDS cable.

VisuNet FLX Panel Maintenance These installation steps are only relevant when installing a new BPC3200-*: To configure the screen resolution set your DIP switches correctly (Refer to the BPC3200-* manual for detailed information on the DIP switch positions.) In case you want to operate the serial interface ports in any other mode than RS-232 configure your serial ports by setting your Jumpers correctly and adjusting the settings in BIOS.
VisuNet FLX Panel Maintenance Figure 7.8 Close the cover of the computing unit If required mount your VisuNet FLX panel. Dismounting the Display Unit If repairs are required, the DPU can be dismounted from the BPC3200-* / DMU and be replaced. Uninstall the Panel from the enclosure.
Mounting holes for fixing the safety lines for System installation Gloves Tested for Touch Sensitivity This section lists selected gloves and their touch sensitivity with the capacitive touch screen. This test was conducted by Pepperl+Fuchs. Warning! It is the end user's responsibility to choose appropriate gloves.
The display unit consists of a chemically strengthened front glass and an optional stainless steel bezel. The chemical resistance of the sealant between the glass and bezel was specified by the sealant manufacturer. Pepperl+Fuchs also tested the resistance of the sealant and the resistance of the gasket between the bezel and the housing.
