Insulation test
Test voltages
The insulation strength is demonstrated by the type test using the following test
voltages in accordance with IEC 61131-2:
Protection class
Protection class I acc. to IEC 61140, i.e. earthing conductor connected to mounting
rail required!
Note:
The protection class at the front can only be ensured if the mounting seal rests
completely against the mounting cut-out.
Avoid condensation
If the HMI device was exposed to low temperatures or extreme temperature fluctu-
ations, moisture may condense on or inside the HMI device. Condensation may
occur. This can cause malfunction.
Before commissioning, the HMI device must be allowed to reach room tempera-
ture.
Do not exposed the HMI device to direct heat radiation from a heater.
In case of condensation, switch on the HMI device only after complete drying af-
ter a waiting time of approximately 4 hours.
Problem-free and safe operation of the HMI device requires proper transport, stor-
age, installation and assembly as well as careful operation and maintenance.
Failure to comply with these provisions will void the warranty of the HMI device.
Reducing vibrations
If the HMI device is subjected to greater shocks or vibrations, acceleration or the
amplitude must be reduced by appropriate measures.
We recommend to mount the HMI device or the control cabinet on damping mate-
rials, for example, elastic mounts.
Fig. 71
Damage by overheating
When installed at an angle, the convection through the HMI device is reduced,
which also lowers the maximum permissible ambient temperature during operation.
If there is sufficient forced ventilation, the HMI device can also be operated at an
inclined mounting position up to the maximum permissible ambient temperature for
vertical installation. Otherwise, the HMI device may be damaged and its approvals
and warranty may be void.
For information on the ambient conditions, see Chapter “Technical data”, Section
“Ambient conditions”.
Check clearances
Required clearance around the HMI device to ensure sufficient self-ventilation must
be maintained.
Fig. 72
NOTE:
For installation in control cabinets and specifically in closed housings, be sure not
to exceed the permitted ambient temperature.
Protection classes
For the requirements to comply with the protection classes, see also the manufac-
turer's operating instructions for the HMI device:
• material thickness for protection class IP65 or protection class front face only
Type 4X/Type 12 (indoor use only) at the mounting cut-out: 2 mm to 6 mm
• Permissible deviation from flatness at the mounting cut-out: ≤ 0.5 mm
• This condition must be fulfilled also for the installed HMI device.
• Permissible surface roughness around the mounting gasket: ≤ 120 μm (Rz
120)
Note:
For vertical installation, width and height
have to be changed accordingly.
Fig. 73
The following requirements must be met before installing the HMI device:
• All the packaging components and protective foils on the HMI device have been
removed.
• The mounting clamps from the accessory kit are complete.
• The mounting gasket on the HMI device is present.
The assured protection class is not ensured If the mounting gasket is damaged,
twisted or protrudes beyond the HMI device.
Check the fit of the mounting gasket; it must not be damaged, twisted or pro-
trude in order to avoid leaks.
Replace damaged mounting gasket.

Order of connections
Failure to follow the proper order in making the connections may cause
CAUTION
damage to the HMI device.
The HMI device may be damaged if it is not connected in the order described be-
low.
Connect the HMI device in the order listed below.
IMPORTANT:
If the HMI device ever has to be disconnected, it must be done in reverse order.

If an audio device is connected to the “Line Out” port, the connecting cable of the
audio device may cause increased interference.
Use inadequately shielded audio devices, such as headsets and headphones, at
the “line-out” port only during commissioning.
If audio devices are used during production operation, the connecting cables of this
audio equipment must be shielded such that the current guidelines for interference
emission are adhered to.
The following ports can be used for audio devices:
• “Line Out”, for example, for active speakers or other audio amplifiers.
• “Line In” for audio sources with line-in level.
IMPORTANT:
For more information on connecting audio devices, refer to the operating instruc-
tions of the manufacturer of the HMI device.
Under the following conditions, the HMI device automatically enters “transfer”
mode during commissioning:

8 Commissioning
Internal memory
The following data is stored in the internal memory:
• Operating system
• Project file
• Licence keys
• User management
• Control program
Note:
Cyclic write access to internal memory is not allowed; see the operating instruc-
tions of the manufacturer of the HMI device.
Use only external memory cards for the storage of data and archives.
Memory card
The following data is stored on the memory card:
• Archives
• Backups
• Control program
Standard SD(IO/HC) or MMC type commercial memory cards can be used. For da-
ta consistency, we recommend memory cards of the manufacturer; see the operat-
ing instructions of the manufacturer of the HMI device.
NOTE:
Data consistency:
• If the HMI device is switched off, consistency of stored data is only ensured for
the 2 GB or higher memory card recommended by the manufacturer.
• In commercially available memory cards, shutdown of the device may result in
the loss of stored data, e.g. due to a power outage.
• In archives, consistency of the stored data is only ensured if you use the RDB
format.
NOTE:
Format of the system memory card:
• Only the 2GB or more memory card offered by the manufacturer is allowed as
system memory card. All other memory cards are not recognised as system
memory card by the HMI device.
CAUTION Potential data loss if memory card is pulled out during data transfer.
If the HMI device is accessing data on the memory card when pulling the memory
card, the data may be destroyed on the memory card.
Do not pull the memory card during data access.
NOTE: The project is terminated if the system memory card is pulled out during a
running project.
Prerequisite
There is no write access to the memory cards.
Press the icon to display the overview page of the Start-up menu.
1.2 I/O check Press in the field to display the "I/O check" start page.
IMPORTANT: This page can only be accessed if the CPU is in stop mode.

Result
The project is transferred to the HMI device from the projecting PC via the selected
data channel. If required, set the data channel also on the projecting PC. The data
are written to the internal memory of the HMI device.
Further information see operating manual of the HMI device’s manufacturer, e.g.
“Alternative procedure” when setting the “Transfer” operating mode and “Parame-
terise data channel”.
Note
Always test the project on the HMI device on that the project is used.
Test the following:
Check images for proper display.
Check image hierarchy.
Check input objects.
Enter variable values.
The test increases the safety that the project runs without errors on the HMI de-
vice.
Offine test
Pre-conditions:
• Project was transferred to the HMI device.
• HMI device is in “Offline” mode.
The project can be tested without influence from the control. Control variables are
not changed.
Note
Customer-specific machine parameters/ system parameters can be entered in of-
fline test, see chapter “Description”, section “Show and edit input fields”.
Online test
Note
An online test corresponds to a test run of the machine/ system, see operating
manual of the machine/ system, section “Carry out test run”. The checks and in-
structions listed there are to be followed to prevent risks with consequences for life
and limb.
Pre-conditions:
• Project was transferred to the HMI device.
• HMI device is in “Online” mode.
If complete restoring is interrupted by a power cut at the HMI device, the operating
system of the HMI device can be deleted. In this case, reset the HMI device to fac-
tory settings. The operating device changes automatically to “bootstrapping” mode.
Further information see operating instructions of the HMI device’s manufacturer
in chapter “Backup and restore”.

10 Trouble shooting
Fig. 120
The operating mode indicator (1) indicates the different operating modes by way of
colour-coded LEDs. The states of the digital inputs integrated in the processor unit
are indicated via LEDs (2). The same apples for the digital outputs(3).
Fault and status are indicated by the following LEDs:
Display Meaning
RUN / STOP (green • Yellow continuous light indicates the operating state
/ yellow) STOP.
• Green continuous light indicates the operating state
RUN.
• Flashing (green and yellow alternately) indicates that
the CPU is in the operating mode STARTUP.
ERROR (red) • Flashing indicates a fault, e.g. an internal fault in the
CPU, a fault in the memory card or a configuration fault
(incompatible modules).
• A red continuous light indicates defective hardware.
• All LEDs flash when a fault is identified in the firmware.
MAINT (green) • Flashing, when starting the CPU, when the memory
card is inserted, during the LED test, in the case of de-
fective CPU firmware or unknown/incompatible version
of the CPU configuration.
• A green continuous light indicates that servicing is re-
quired.
Display Meaning
RUN (green)
Operating state RUN of the control unit CPU.
• This LED lights up when the control unit is processing
the user program.
• This LED flashes (2 Hz) during the control start-up (the
STOP LED then also lights up; when the STOP LED
goes out the outputs are released).
STOP (yellow)
Operating state STOP of the control unit CPU.
The LED:
• lights up when the control unit is not processing the user
program.
• flashes slowly when the control unit requests a master
reset.
• flashes fast when the control unit executes a master
reset.
