EPC TA100 AM Installation Manual MAEN040, 2010-12 English
Foreword Installation manual for EPC TA100 AM Foreword The EPC AM TA series includes compact, mechanically robust, fanless industrial Panel PCs. The embedded PC system is available with a 6.4", 10.4" or 15" high-contrast industrial color TFT display. The analog resistive touch screen is the basis of communication between human and machine. The combination of a standardized CPU unit and different front units efficiently meets customer requirements.

Safety Precautions 1 Safety Precautions Both the installer and the owner and/or operator of the Panel PC must read and understand this installation manual. 1.1 • • • • • • • • • • • • General Read the safety precautions carefully. Check the delivery for transportation damage. If damage is found, notify the supplier as soon as possible. Do not use the Panel PC in an environment with high explosive hazards. The supplier is not responsible for modified, altered or reconstructed equipment.
Safety Precautions 1.3 • • • Keep the Panel PC clean. Emergency stop and other safety functions may not be controlled from the Panel PC. Do not use too much force or sharp objects when touching the keys, touch screen etc. 1.4 • • • • • Service and Maintenance Only qualified personnel should carry out repairs. The agreed warranty applies. Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment from the electrical supply.
Installation 2 Installation 2.1 Space Requirements • • Installation plate thickness: 1.5 - 9.0 mm (0.06 - 0.35 inch) Space requirements when installing EPC TA100 AM: 100 mm (4.0 inch) 228 mm (8.98 inch) 50 mm (2.0 inch) 100 mm (4.0 inch) 50 mm (2.0 inch) 100 mm (4.0 inch) 58 mm (2.28 inch) 302 mm (11.89 inch) Caution: The openings on the enclosure are for air convection. Do not cover these openings. 2.2 Installation Process 1. Unpack and check the delivery.
Installation 2. Place the panel cut out where the Panel PC is to be situated, draw along the outer sides of the holes and cut according to the markings. 3. Secure the Panel PC in position, using all the fastening holes and the provided brackets and screws: x 13 0.5 - 1.
Installation 4. Connect the cables in the specified order, according to the drawing and steps below. Caution: • Ensure that the Panel PC and the controller system have the same electrical grounding (reference voltage level), otherwise errors in communication may occur. • The Panel PC must be brought to ambient temperature before it is started up. If condensation forms, ensure that the Panel PC is dry before connecting it to the power outlet.

The Panel PC’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis, see 2 in drawing above. 1.
Additional Installation Tips 6.3 • • • • • • • • To Achieve Better EMC Protection Initially, use the original cabling from Beijer Electronics primarily. Use shielded cables for RS232 communication. Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for RS422 and RS485. Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link, CAN, Device Net etc. Install and connect according to applicable specifications for the relevant bus standard.
Additional Installation Tips 6.4 Ambient Temperature The maximum ambient temperature for the Panel PC is provided in the specifications. The ambient temperature refers to the temperature in the device cabinet which cools the Panel PC’s electronics.
Additional Installation Tips 6.5 Safety Most of the Panel PCs are fed with 24 V DC.

See 1 in drawing above.
Additional Installation Tips 6.6 Galvanic Isolation Internal electronic Filter Ethernet DC/DC galvanic isolation DC/AC VCC +24 V DC CFL 0 V (GND) 0V 1.5 m RS422/485 RS232 USB 5356 USB The Panel PC has galvanic isolation against the 24 V DC feed but no galvanic isolation between the communication ports for RS232, RS422/485 and USB. Only the Ethernet connection has galvanic isolation.
Additional Installation Tips 6.7 Cable and Bus Termination RS485 Use shielded and twisted pair cable. The pair capacitance may not exceed 52.5 pF/m and area at least 0.25 mm2 (AWG 24), if you want to use the maximum transfer distance and maximum transfer speed. 0 V, the reference voltage for communication should be included in the cabling. With two-way communication use two pairs; one pair for communication and one pair for 0 V. The shield must be grounded at one end.
