Control Panel Design Guidelines

Pay careful attention to the placement of system components and
associated cable routing. This can significantly enhance the performance
and integrity of the control application.

Cable Routing and Noise Immunity

Follow these guidelines when routing cables to the HMI:

Always route the HMI communication cable and the power cable
away from any AC voltage or rapidly switching DC control lines.

Never bundle the HMI cables together with 120VAC power wires
or with relay wiring.

Try to keep at least 8 inches (20 cm) of separation between the
HMI cables and other power wiring. If voltages greater than
120VAC are used in the system, greater separation is required.

If the HMI cables must come near AC wiring, make sure they
cross at 90 degrees.

Run AC power wires in a separate grounded conduit to reduce
electrical noise interference.

Keep the cable lengths for the HMI as short as possible. Do not
coil excess cable and place it next to AC powered equipment.

Cover any equipment used in the enclosure that operates at high
frequency or high current levels with a grounded metal shield.

Power Supply Selection

The power supply used to power the HMI should provide an output of
+10.5~28VDC measured at the HMI power connector. A DC regulated
power supply dedicated to the HMI is recommended. Use a power
supply with adequate current rating. A power line filter installed at the AC
input to the HMI power supply is highly recommended as a safeguard
against conducted RF noise, which is often present on factory power
lines. The wires connecting the output of the power line filter to the power
supply should be kept as short as possible to minimize any additional
noise pickup. The case of the power line filter should be connected to a
quiet earth ground. The power line filter should have a current rating of at
least 3 Amps with common mode and differential mode attenuation. In
applications that may have high frequency noise present, a resistor (~1
MΩ) and capacitor (~4700 pF) should be used in parallel to clean earth
ground on the DC output of the power supply.
Do not use the power supply used to provide power to the HMI to power
switching relays, solenoids, or other active devices.
