Control cabinet installation

Notice

Extreme environmental conditions

Extreme environmental conditions can cause damage to the device.

Avoid extreme environmental conditions.
Protect the device against dust, moisture and heat.

Notice

Lack of air circulation

Incorrect installation of the device prevents air circulation in the device and thus causes overheating and impaired functioning.

Only install the device in the corresponding wall in the orientation shown.

Notice

Incorrect installation

Mounting the device in a way that deviates from the documentation can impair its functionality.

Mount the device only in the orientations shown in the documents.

The device is designed for installation in a control cabinet for machine and system engineering. The environmental conditions specified for operation must be observed.

Dimensions

The dimensions of the panel PC can be found on the Beckhoff website: https://www.beckhoff.com/de-de/support/downloadfinder/technische-zeichnungen/.

All dimensions are in mm.

Preparation of the control cabinet

The control cabinet must have the required installation cutout according to the device dimensions of the panel PC.

The wall thickness must be between 1 mm and 5 mm for installation. In the case of a device with a stainless steel front, the panel thickness must be between 1 mm and 3 mm. After installation, be sure to check the tightness between the panel PC and the wall.

Please also note the following for installation in a control cabinet:

Ensure that there is 5 cm of free space above and below the device for air circulation.
Position the panel PC such that reflections from light sources on the screen are avoided as far as possible.
For the correct installation height, use the position of the screen for guidance. This should always be optimally visible to the user.
Do not expose the panel PC to direct sunlight.

Installation in the control cabinet

Once you have made the required cutout in the control cabinet, you can install the panel PC in the control cabinet. Clamping levers are provided at the back of the housing for mounting of the device. In the delivery state, the clamping levers are turned onto the device (see Fig. 13).

To install and secure the panel PC in the control cabinet, follow the steps shown in Fig. 14 and 15:

1. Insert the panel PC at the intended position in the wall of the control cabinet. Make sure that the device is secured against falling out until it is fastened properly.

2. Turn the clamping levers 90° outwards (sections A and B).

3. Tighten the clamping levers with the Allen key 3.0 mm (section C).
