User Manual

Important User Information

Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines

for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1

available from your local Rockwell

Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/

) describes some important differences

between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the

wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that

each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.

In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use

or application of this equipment.

The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and

System Features

Chapter Objectives

This chapter provides an overview of the computer.

• Operating systems

• Multilingual User-interface CD Pack

• Product options

• Parts list

• Hardware features

Computer Overview

The integrated display computers combine a TFT flat-panel display with

industrial computing power for performing visual interface, maintenance, and

basic information applications. These panel mount devices offer 12-, 15-, and

17-inch displays with a resistive touch-screen option for operator input, and a

solid state or hard disk drive.

When panel space is limited, the 12-inch model provides product information

within a small space. For operations where it is important to view every aspect

of a process, the 15- and 17-inch offer additional flexibility.

By combining industrially hardened monitors and computers in a single

machine, these panel mounted computers provide an entire solution in one

chassis and catalog number. Because there are no external monitor cables or

separate component mounting requirements, system integration is simplified.

Operating Systems

The computers are shipped with one of these Microsoft-licensed embedded

operating systems:

• Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems, Service Pack 2b

• Windows Embedded Standard 2009

No Windows XP operating system updates have been applied to the factory

image beyond the service packs. All available Windows Embedded Standard

2009 operating system updates have been applied as of September 2009.

For computers with Windows XP, the I386 source directory for Microsoft

Windows is on the system drive of your computer off the root directory,

C:\I386. This allows for easy removal and addition of Windows components.

Computers with rotating hard-disk drives include a recovery partition on the

system drive containing the original factory image. You can use the supplied

10 Publication 6181P-UM002B-EN-P - January 2010

Chapter 1 System Features

Computer System Cloning CD to restore the operating system from the

recovery partition, create a new recovery image, and create bootable

external-recovery media. Refer to the Cloning Utility technical data,

publication 6000-TD002

, for instructions.

Computers with Windows Embedded Standard 2009 include a utility for

configuring the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) and Hibernate Once Restore

Many (HORM) features. Refer to the EWF/HORM Configuration Utility

technical data, publication 6000-TD003

, for instructions.

To obtain the original factory image on bootable external-recovery media,

contact your local technical support center.

Multilingual User Interface

CD Pack

The following section only applies to systems that contain the Microsoft

Multilingual user-interface (MUI) CD pack.

The Microsoft Multilingual User-interface (MUI) CD Pack contains a

collection of different language sets that can be installed into the operating

system. The MUI pack provides a localized start menu and system icons

support.

The instructions for installing MUI languages on your computer are supplied

with the MUI CD Pack.

Before You Begin

Before unpacking the product, inspect the shipping carton for damage. If

damage is visible, immediately contact the shipper and request assistance.

Otherwise, proceed with unpacking.

Keep the original packing material in case you need to return the product for

repair or transport it to another location. Use both the inner and outer packing

cartons to provide adequate protection for a unit returned for service.

European Union

Compliance

This product meets the European Union Directive requirements when

installed within the European Union or EEA regions and have the CE mark. A

copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the Rockwell Automation

website http://www.ab.com.

ATTENTION

The product is intended to operate in an industrial or control

room environment, which utilizes some form of power isolation

from the public low-voltage mains. Some computer

configurations may not comply with the EN 61000-3-2

Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC Directive

of the European Union. Obtain permission from the local power

authority before connecting any computer configuration that

draws more than 75 watts of AC power directly from the public

mains.

ATTENTION

To comply with EN 55024 and EN 61000-6-2, the Ethernet port

LAN cable must be used only indoors. All other I/O cables must

be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) and used only indoors.

20 Publication 6181P-UM002B-EN-P - January 2010

Chapter 2 Installation

Environment and Enclosure

Information

Review the information on enclosures and environments before installing the

product.

ATTENTION

This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2

industrial environment, in overvoltage Category II applications

(as defined in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 m

(6561 ft) without derating.

This equipment is considered a Group 1, Class A industrial

equipment according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without

appropriate precautions, there may be potential difficulties

ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments

due to conducted as well as radiated disturbance.

UL listed equipment need not be mounted inside another

enclosure if NEMA Type and IEC ratings are not required, but the

mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 60°

from vertical. An example is a tabletop stand. The mounting

means must be firmly attached to the supporting surface using

screws, bolts, or clamps so the computer cannot tip. These units

ship with a gasketed bezel to meet specified NEMA and IEC

ratings only when mounted in a panel or enclosure with an

equivalent rating. Subsequent sections of this publication may

contain additional information regarding specific enclosure type

ratings that are required to comply with certain product safety

certifications.

In addition to this publication, see:

• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for

additional installation requirements, publication 1770-4.1

.

• NEMA Standards publication 250 and IEC publication 60529,

as applicable, for explanations of the degrees of protection

provided by different types of enclosur
