1.1 Overview
The
hand-held terminal IndraControl VCH 08.1 is a portable operation and vis‐
ualization device of rugged design with Windows CE compatible electronics.
Through its use of a powerful processor and configuration with ethernet, the
hand-held terminal IndraControl VCH 08.1 is ideally equipped for a variety of
applications (see chapter 2.1 "Appropriate Use " on page 5).
Instead of rotating mass storage devices such as floppy discs and hard drives,
which are not suitable for rough operating conditions, the IndraControl
VCH 08.1 contains FLASH- and RAM databases.
The IndraControl VCH 08.1 offers a Windows CE platform which can be equip‐
ped with applications using the VI Composer.
Through its optional operation and control elements, the IndraControl
VCH 08.1can be easily adapted to individual cases of operation.
The IndraControl VCH 08.1 is, for example, suited to the following areas of
application:
● Operation and visualization of IndraLogic, IndraMotion MLC and Indra‐
Motion MTX.
● Installation of machines and systems.
● Operation and diagnosis of extended handling systems.
● Visualization of simple operating fields on assembly lines.
For the normal operating modes, the "automatic" mode of operation is available,
for instance.
In the special modes of operation, such as semi-automatic and manual, the
options of installation, teaching, test runs and other functions are available.
An acceptance unit and also a STOP switch are installed in the IndraControl
VCH 08.1 as safety functions.
Manual operation terminals that are intended for temporary connection do not
need to have a red-yellow emergency stop switch. A manual operation terminal
with a gray STOP switch is available for this use case.
All of the safety functions are designed as dual circuits to ensure compliance
with safety category 4 according to EN 954-1.
The selection of the manual operating terminal which is suited to the machine
and the project planning of the possible additional options must be completed
under the responsibility of the machine manufacturer and on the basis of a
statutory evaluation of the dangers and risks.
1.2 Casing
The vibration and shock-proof casing consists of fire resistant material (UL 94-
V0). It is impact resistant and resistant to water, cleaning agents (alcohols and
tensides), oils, cutting oils (drilling oils), grease and lubricants. The double wal‐
led and extremely robust casing has been tested with a free fall onto an
industrial floor from a height of 1.5 m.
1.3 Keypad
The keypad consists of a chemical resistant polyester film which is equipped
with embossed keys.
