 Mounting

Innovative solution for shutting down Industrial PCs

Industrial PCs equipped with a UPS are in actual use frequently switched off by simply turning off the
supply voltage. In this case the PC shuts down via the battery. However, over time this reduces the
service life of the battery.
The new Beckhoff power supply technology approach addresses this problem and now offers the user the
option of switching the PC off without the need for using the battery, thereby reducing the load on the
battery.
In addition to the main switch this innovative solution uses an ON/OFF switch for the machine. Basically,
the main switch remains switched on and provides the power supply for the PC during shutdown. Via the
PC ON-input of the power supply the PC gets the command to shut down the operating system.
Once the PC has shut down, the PC power supply unit sets the Power Status-output (P-S) to 0, what
indicates that the process is complete and that the main voltage can be switched off. This can be done
manually via a signal lamp connection or via a contactor. With this solution the main switch generally only
has to be switched off if the control cabinet has to be opened. The battery will only be used in the event of
a power failure.

For a detailed functional description please refer to section Connecting Power Supply.

CP32xx 21
Mounting

4.4 Connecting Power Supply

The external wiring consists of the connection of the power supply, the battery pack (optional) and the
connection of customized components for shutting down the PC.

4.4.1 Cable Cross Sections

For the connection of the power supply, wiring with a cable-cross-section of 1.0 mm2 must be used.
With bigger distances between voltage source and PC, you take the voltage drop as a function of the
cable-cross-section as well as voltage fluctuations of your distribution voltage into account, so that is
secured that the voltage doesn't fall under 22 V at the power supply.

Connecting with bigger distances between voltage source and PC

To avoid voltage drop, the battery pack and the power supply each can be connected by
Note using a second cable.

Insert fuse

The power supply must be protected with maximum 10 A.

Attention

4.4.2 Check voltage rating and connect

Fitted with the 24 VDC power supply unit:
1. Check that the external power supply is providing the correct voltage.
2. Insert the power supply cable that you have assembled into the Industrial PC's power supply
socket. Then connect it to your external 24 V power supply.

Use same type of rechargeable battery

If a 24 V UPS is installed, the same type of rechargeable battery must be used.

Attention

4.4.3 Configuration for shutting down the PC

The connections for shutting down the Industrial PCs are established via the PC_ON input and the Power
Status output.

4.4.4 PC_ON and Power Status functions

• If the PC_ON input is connected to 24 V via a switch, the PC shuts down according to the rules.
The PC_ON signal is inverted, i.e. the PC shuts down if the 24 V connection is live.

• If the PC_ON input is NOT connected by the user, the PC can be booted in the familiar way by
connecting the supply voltage and shut down via the battery by switching off the supply voltage.

Service life of the rechargeable battery

This procedure significantly reduces the service life of the rechargeable battery and
Attention should therefore not be used.
• Once the PC has shut down, the Power Status output is switched from 24 V to 0 V. Via this
output a signal lamp can be connected or a contactor for de-energizing the whole system. The
maximum load for the Power Status output is 0.5 A and a suitable fuse should be provided.

 Operating Instructions

5 Operating Instructions
5.1 Switching the Panel PC on and off
5.1.1 Switching on
The Panel PC does not have its own mains power switch. As soon as the power supply is switched on the
Panel PC is activated.

5.1.2 Shutting down and switching off

Control software such as is typically used on Industrial PCs permits various users to be given different
rights. A user who may not close software may also not switch the Panel PC off, since data can be lost
from the storage medium by switching off while software is running.

First shut down, then switch off!

If the Panel PC is switched off as the software is writing a file to the storage medium,
Warning the file will be destroyed. Control software typically writes something to the storage
medium every few seconds, so that the probability of causing damage by switching off
while the software is running is very high.

Switch off power supply

When you have shut down the Panel PC, you have to switch off power supply for at
Warning least 10 seconds before rebooting the system.
After resetting power supply the Panel PC will start booting automatically.

5.1.3 First switching on and driver installation

When you switch on the Industrial PC for the first time, the pre-installed operating system (optional) will
be started. In this case, all the required drivers for any additional, optional hardware components ordered
with the PC will already have been installed.

If the PC was ordered without operating system, you have to install the operating system and the driver
software for any auxiliary hardware yourself. Please follow the instructions in the documentation for the
operating system and the additional devices.

5.2 Operation
The operation of the Panel PC occurs via the Touch Screen.

Risk of damaging the Touch Screen

The touch screen may only be actuated by finger tips or with the touch screen pen. The
Warning operator may wear gloves but there must be no hard particles such as metal shavings,
glass splinters embedded in the glove.

Properly installation of the system and the multi-touch device

Capacitive Touch Screens use the functional principle of capacitive alternation of the
Warning electrical field. Strong electrical fields can influence the functionality of the multi-touch
devices.
To ensure the correct function of the Touch Screen take care of a standardized
installation of all parts of the system and an EMC-environment conforming to
standards.
