Critical Systems, Alarms, and Handling Requirements

Critical alarm indicators and system functions require independent and redundant protection for
hardware and/or mechanical interlocks.
When you cycle power, wait at least 1 second before restoring the power to the panel after it has
been turned off. Switching the power OFF and ON quickly can damage the panel.
In the event the screen cannot be properly read, for example, if the backlight is not functioning, it
may be difficult or impossible to identify a function. Functions that may present a hazard if not
immediately executed, such as a fuel shut-off, must be provided independently of the panel. The
design of the control system of the machine must take into account the possibility of the backlight
no longer functioning and the operator being unable to control the machine or making mistakes in
the control of the machine.

WARNING
LOSS OF CONTROL
 Consider the potential failure modes of control paths in the machine control system design,
such as:
 the possibility of backlight failure,
 unanticipated link transmission delays or failures,
 the operator being unable to control the machine,
 the operator making errors in the control of the machine.

 Provide a means to achieve a safe state during and after a path failure for critical control
functions such as emergency stop and overtravel stop.
 Provide separate or redundant control paths for critical control functions.
 Test individually and thoroughly each implementation of the panel for correct operation before
service.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Do not use this equipment as the only means of control for critical system functions such as
motor start/stop or power control.
 Do not use this equipment as the only notification device for critical alarms, such as device
overheating or overcurrent.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Handling the LCD Panel

The following characteristics are specific to the LCD panel and are considered normal behavior:
 LCD screen may show unevenness in the brightness of certain images or may appear different
when seen from outside the specified viewing angle. Extended shadows, or crosstalk may also
appear on the edges of screen images.
 LCD screen pixels may contain black and white-colored spots and the color display may look as
if it is changing.
 When the same image is displayed on the panel screen for a long period, an after-image may
appear after changing the image. If this happens, turn OFF the panel, wait 1 second, and then
restart the panel.
NOTE: Change the screen image periodically and try not to display the same image for a long
period time.

CAUTION
SERIOUS EYE AND SKIN INJURY
The liquid in the LCD panel contains an irritant:
 Avoid direct skin contact with the liquid.
 Wear gloves when you handle a broken or leaking unit.
 Do not use sharp objects or tools in the vicinity of the LCD touch panel.
 Handle the LCD panel carefully to prevent puncture, bursting, or cracking of the panel material.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

If the panel is damaged and any liquid comes in contact with your skin, immediately rinse the area
with running water for at least 15 minutes. If the liquid gets in your eyes, immediately rinse your
eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

Installation Procedures

Introduction
The installation gasket and screw fasteners are required when installing the panel.
Mount the panel in an enclosure that provides a clean, dry, robust, and controlled environment
(IP65 enclosure).
NOTE: The protection level of the product may vary from that which is shown on the label, as the
value on the label considers product aging.
An old gasket can lose its dust and drip resistance. Changing the gasket once a year or when
scratches or dirt becomes visible is recommended.

Gasket Setup Requirements

The gasket helps to maintain the protection ratings (IP65, IP20) of the panel, and provides
additional protection from vibration.

Stage Description
1 Before installing the panel into a cabinet, check that the installation gasket is securely attached
to the panel.
2 A gasket which has been used for a long period may have scratches or dirt on its surface, and
could have lost much of its dust and drip resistance. Change the gasket once a year or when
scratches or dirt become visible.
3 Make sure that the gasket is inserted into the bottom face of the panel.

Panel Setup Procedure

Stage Description
1 Check that the installation panel or the surface of the cabinet is flat, in good condition and has
no jagged edges. Metal reinforcing strips may be attached to the inside of the panel wall, near
the panel-cut, to increase the rigidity of the panel.
2 Decide on the installation of the thickness of the panel based on the level of panel strength
required: 1 mm (0.04 in) to 5 mm (0.19 in).
3 Be sure that the ambient operation temperature and the ambient humidity are within their
designated ranges. (When installing the panel in a cabinet or enclosure, the ambient operation
temperature is the internal temperature of the cabinet or enclosure.)
4 Be sure that heat from surrounding equipment does not cause the panel to exceed its standard
operating temperature (see page 26).

EIO0000002073 09/2020 51
 Stage Description
4 The panel is designed to be ready for landscape only in the cabinet:.

5 When installing the panel in a slanted position, the panel face should not incline more than 30°:

When installing the panel in a slanted position, and the panel face inclines more than 30°, the
ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C (104 °F). You may need to use forced air cooling
(fan, A/C) to ensure that the ambient operating temperature is 40 °C or below.
6 For easier maintenance, operation and improved ventilation, install the panel at least 100 mm
(3.94 in) away from adjacent structures and other equipment:

52 EIO0000002073 09/2020
Pressure Differences
When applying and installing this product, it is important that steps are taken to eliminate any
pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the enclosure in which this product is
mounted. Higher pressure inside the enclosure can cause delamination of the front membrane of
the display. Even a small pressure difference inside the enclosure act on the large area of the
membrane and can result in sufficient force to delaminate the membrane and thus cause detected
failure of the touch capability. Pressure differences can often occur in applications where there are
multiple fans and ventilators moving air at different rates in different rooms.
Follow the techniques to ensure that the product function is not impacted by mis-application:
1. Seal all conduit connections inside of the enclosure, especially those that lead to other rooms
that are at a different pressure.
2. Where applicable, install a small weep hole at the bottom of the enclosure to allow equalization
of the internal and external pressure.

Panel Mounting Procedure

NOTICE
PANEL UNSTEADY WHEN UNSECURED
Keep panel stabilized in the panel-cut while you are installing or removing the screw fasteners.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

Step Action
1 Place the panel on a clean and level surface with the display face pointing downward.
2 Check that the installation gasket of the panel is seated securely, which runs around the
perimeter of the frame.
3 Create the correct sized opening required to install the panel, using the installation dimensions
(see page 43).
4 Insert the panel into the panel-cut.

EIO0000002073 09/2020 53
 Step Action
5 Insert the installation fasteners into the panel‘s insertion slots on the left and right sides (and on
the top and bottom sides of the HMIGXU55•• ):

6 Slide the fasteners flat against the panel. If the fasteners are not correctly attached, the panel
may shift or fall out:

54 EIO0000002073 09/2020

Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.

EIO0000002073 09/2020 55
Real Time Clock (RTC)

Overview
HMIGXU panels include an RTC to provide system date and time information, and to support
related functions requiring a real-time clock. To keep time continuity when power is off, a non-
rechargeable but replaceable battery is provided with HMIGXU panels.
NOTE: The HMIGXU panels cannot sustain the time when exchanging RTC battery without power
connected.

Installing and Replacing the RTC Battery

While lithium batteries are preferred due to their slow discharge and long life, they can present
hazards to personnel, equipment, and the environment, and must be handled properly.

DANGER
EXPLOSION, FIRE, OR CHEMICAL HAZARD
Follow these instructions for the lithium batteries:
 Replace with identical type.
 Follow all battery manufacturer’s instructions.
 Remove all replaceable batteries before discarding panel.
 Recycle or properly dispose of used batteries.
 Protect battery from any potential short circuit.
 Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C (212 °F), or incinerate.
 Use your hands or insulated tools to remove or replace the battery.
 Maintain proper polarity when inserting and connecting a new battery.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

NOTE: Replace battery only with identical type: Type BR2032.

56 EIO0000002073 09/2020
 To install or replace the RTC battery, follow these steps:

Step Action
1 Power off your panel.
2 Open the cap to access the backup battery compartment as shown:

3 Remove the used battery from the compartment.

4 Insert the new battery in the compartment in accordance with the polarity markings in the
compartment and on the battery.
5 Close the cap.
6 Power up your HMIGXU.
NOTE: If you do not power up your HMIGXU immediately, the external backup battery life might be
reduced.
7 Set the internal clock. For further details on the internal clock, refer to set terminal clock (see Vijeo-
Designer online Help).
A lithium battery life is:
 3 years when the battery's ambient temperature is ≤ 40 °C (104 °F).
 3 years when the panel's ambient temperature is ≤ 25 °C (77 °F).

Connecting the Power Cord

Introduction
Follow these instructions when supplying power to the panel.
 When the functional ground (FG) terminal is connected, be sure that the wire is grounded. If not
grounded, the panel can result in excessive Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Grounding is
required to meet EMC level immunity.
 The shield ground (SG) and FG terminals are connected internally in the panel.
 Disconnect the power before wiring the panel's power terminals.
 The panel uses only 24 Vdc power. Using any other level of power can damage both the power
supply and the panel.
 Since the panel is not equipped with a power switch, be sure to connect a power switch to the
panel’s power supply.
 Be sure to ground the panel's FG terminal.

Power Cord Preparation

 Make sure that the ground wire is either the same or heavier gauge than the power wires.
 Do not use aluminum wires in the power supply's power cord.
 If the ends of the individual wires are not twisted correctly, the wires may create a short circuit.
To avoid this, use D25CE/AZ5CE cable ends.
 Wherever possible, use wires that are 0.75 to 2.5 mm2 (AWG 18 - 12) for the power cord, and
twist the wire ends before attaching the terminals.
 The conductor type is solid or stranded wire.

How to Connect the Power Cord
This figure shows a connection of the power cord:

This table explains how to connect the power plug:

Step Action
1 Remove the power cord from the power supply.
2 Remove the power plug from the panel.
3 Remove 7 mm (0.28 in.) of the vinyl cover off the ends of the power cord wires.
4 If using stranded wire, twist the ends. Tinning the ends with solder reduces risk of fraying and
ensures good electrical transfer.
5 Connect the wires to the power plug by using a flat-bladed screwdriver (size 0.6 X 3.5).
6 Tighten the mounting screws using the defined torque: 0.5...0.6 Nm (5...7 lb-in).
7 Replace the power plug with the power connector.

NOTE:
 Do not solder the wire directly to the power receptacle pin.
 The power supply cord should meet the specification mentioned above. Be sure to twist the
power cords together, up to the power plug, for EMC cancellation.

60 EIO0000002073 09/2020
Connecting the Power Supply

Precautions
 Connect the power cord to the power connector on the side of the panel using the power plug.
 Between the line and the ground, be sure to use a regulated power supply with a Class 2 power
supply.
 To increase the electromagnetic noise resistance, be sure to twist the ends of the power cord
wires before connecting them to the power plug.
 The power supply cord of the panel should not be bundled with or kept close to main circuit lines
(high voltage, high current), or input/output signal lines.
 Connect a lightning surge absorber to handle power surges.
 To reduce electromagnetic noise, make the power cord as short as possible.
Excessive stress on the power connection or attempting to install a panel with the power cables
connected may disconnect or cause damage to the power connections, which can cause short
circuits, fire or unintended equipment operation.

WARNING
SHORT CIRCUITS, FIRE, OR UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Avoid twisting the individual wires incorrectly:
 Use D25CE/AZ5CE cable ends.

Avoid excessive force on the power cable to prevent accidental disconnection:

 Securely attach power cables to the panel or cabinet.
 Use the torque less than 0.5 Nm (4.4 lb-in) to tighten the terminal block screws of the panel.
 Install and fasten panel on installation panel or cabinet before connecting power supply and
communication lines.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

EIO0000002073 09/2020 61
Power Supply Connections
For ease of maintenance, use the following connection diagram to set up your power supply
connections.

NOTE:
 Ground the surge absorber (E1) separately from the panel (E2).
 Select a surge absorber that has a maximum circuit voltage greater than that of the peak voltage
of the power supply.
The following shows a lightning surge absorber connection:

Grounding

Exclusive Grounding
Take the following precautions for grounding the panel. Connect the functional ground (FG)
terminal on the power plug to an exclusive ground.

Grounding Procedure

Step Action
1 Check that the grounding resistance is less than 0.1 Ω (1).
2 The FG wire should have a cross sectional area greater than 2 mm (1). Create the connection
point as close to the panel as possible, and make the wire as short as possible. When using a
long grounding wire, replace the thin wire with a thicker wire, and place it in a duct.
3 If the equipment does not function properly when grounded, disconnect the ground wire from the
FG terminal.
(1) Observe local codes and standards. Ensure that the ground connection has a resistance of less than 0.1
Ω
and that the ground wire has a cross-section of at least 2 mm2 or AWG 14.

EIO0000002073 09/2020 63
Common Grounding
Take the following precautions for grounding the panel.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can be created if the devices are improperly grounded. EMI
can cause loss of communication.
Do not use common grounding, except for the authorized configuration described below.
