Product installation specifications

Physical size requirements

All installation dimensions are in millimeters, with a uniform tolerance of * * ± 0.5mm * *. The cutting edges, panel thickness, and installation depth of different models/suffixes (45/50/A6/A7) vary, such as eTOP05 opening 187x147mm and eTOP50C opening 392x307mm.

The red battery protection strip must be removed before installation, otherwise it will affect the normal operation of the battery.

Sealing gasket installation (IP65 protective core)

Two types of sealing gaskets, rectangular and linear, are available for panel delivery. They are compatible with the model and must be replaced after disassembly and assembly. The installation requirements are as follows:

Rectangular sealing gasket: applied around the cutting edge of the equipment, tension-free fit, avoiding wrinkles;

Linear sealing gasket: divided into thin and thick strips, with the thin strip fitting the cut (starting from the lower midpoint) and the thick strip sticking to the panel frame (starting from the lower 1/3), with no overlap at both ends.

fixation method

Install 4 fixed brackets on the long edge of the panel near the corner, tighten the fixing screws until the plastic/aluminum frame of the panel is completely in contact with the installation surface to avoid loosening.

Power supply and grounding (mandatory requirement)

The panel must be reliably grounded to protective earth (PE), which can be grounded through screws/quick terminals next to the power terminal. Power terminal 3 also needs to be grounded separately, with a yellow label indicating the grounding position;

The power supply needs to have double/reinforced insulation, and the power supply circuit can be floating or grounded; The floating circuit is connected to the power supply ground through a 1M Ω resistor and a 4.7nF capacitor inside;

It is necessary to ensure that the power supply meets the power consumption requirements of the panel, and all electronic devices in the control system must be grounded in a standardized manner.

Interface configuration and connection

The panel interface is divided into standard core interface, expansion interface, and special function interface. The configuration of different models of interfaces varies greatly. The core interfaces and functions are as follows:

PLC Port: D-15 male, core communication port, used to connect PLC/controller or as UniNET client network port, supports RS232/422/485/20mA current loop, must use corresponding cables, otherwise communication cannot be achieved. Pin 1 is the chassis ground, pin 2 is RXD, and pin 3 is TXD as the core pin.

PC/Printer Port: D-15 female header, only supports RS232, functions vary with panel mode: configuration mode is programming port, UniNET server mode is network port, normal operation mode is serial printer port, programming requires CA2/CA114 cable.

AUX Port: D-9 female head, industrial network expansion port, function determined by optional communication module, pin definition in module manual; Module installation requires power-off operation, and after reinstallation, paste function labels in the designated area.

Ethernet/USB Port: Only equipped with mid to high end eTOP models (eTOP04C/06C/20C/33C/40C/50C), Ethernet is 10/100Mbit, used for device communication, programming, and data transmission; USB has a 1.1 host port and can be connected to a USB flash drive to upgrade firmware/copy data.

Other ports: Some models come with external keyboard ports (connected to ET-F/AT-F keyboards) and DX video ports (eTOP40C/50C); Models without PC/Printer Port use PLC Port as a PLC/PC composite port, and programming requires a gender converter.

Daily maintenance and component operation

（1） Battery replacement

Battery function: Maintaining real-time hardware clock, event list, and recipe data is the core of panel data backup.

Low battery warning: Triple signal - FAULT/FLT LED flashing, system menu displaying Battery LOW, RDA S6 bit value changes, need to be replaced in a timely manner.

Replacement steps: Power off → Loosen the 4 screws of the battery compartment → Remove the battery compartment → Replace with a battery of the same model → Reinstall and tighten → Power on for verification; Replacing will result in the loss of all backup data. Mixing battery models is strictly prohibited, and waste batteries should be disposed of according to regulations to avoid the risk of explosion.

（2） Other maintenance operations

Dismantling of nameplate: Pinch the exposed part of the nameplate and slide it downwards to remove it. When replacing, a nameplate of the same thickness must be used. Thickened nameplates are prohibited to avoid affecting the panel seal.

SSFDC memory card operation: Some models are equipped with strict anti-static measures - clean the gold fingers with soft tissue, prohibit fingers/synthetic cloth from contacting the gold fingers, and place them in an anti-static box after disassembly to avoid contact with oil stains/corrosive substances.

Panel cleaning: Only use a soft cloth and neutral soap to wipe. Do not use any solvents to avoid corroding the panel film and touch screen.

Programming and operational instructions

Programming requirements

Software: Designer version 6, Windows exclusive application, requires separate system installation, supports computer COM1/COM2 ports;

Connection: Switch the panel to configuration mode and connect the computer to the panel using CA2/CA114 cable. The software defaults to communication parameters (9600 baud rate, no parity check, 1 stop bit);

Compatibility: The software version needs to match the panel firmware version, otherwise it cannot be programmed properly.

Operation mode and key commands

Core modes: configuration mode (programming/touch screen calibration), operation mode (normal operation, including sub modes such as data entry, password, alarm, event, etc.);

Key rules: Some models do not have CLEAR keys, which can be achieved through combination keys; Long press the button for 2 seconds to activate special functions (such as ENTER for 2 seconds to enter data entry); Touchscreen models come with CLEAR/ENTER virtual buttons, which automatically pop up a numeric keypad when entering data;

External keyboard support: Some models can be connected to ET-F/AT-F external keyboards, and commands are compatible with the standard keyboard.

Troubleshooting and Touch Screen Calibration

（1） Forced entry into configuration mode

When the panel starts abnormally and cannot switch configuration modes normally, perform the following steps: power off → hold down any 3 buttons → power on and hold the button → until the screen displays configuration mode.

（2） Touch screen calibration

Divided into standard calibration and emergency calibration, emergency calibration is suitable for scenarios where standard calibration cannot be accessed:

Standard calibration: Enter configuration mode → touch the CLEAR button on the screen until a small circular mark appears in the upper right corner → long press the mark to the lower left corner → follow the prompts to touch the designated button/ENTER key in sequence → switch back to operation mode;

Emergency calibration: Power off → Power on → Touch the middle of the screen once per second → Until entering calibration mode → Perform standard calibration steps.

（3） LED fault diagnosis

The panel is equipped with specialized LEDs such as FAULT/DL/RUN/COM/ALARM, which are the core basis for troubleshooting. The status of the core LEDs means:

table

LED name, color, flashing, always on

Fault/FLT red: No hardware failure, battery is normal, battery is low, hardware failure

RUN green hardware failure - panel running normally

COM Green - Communication Error Communication Normal

ALARM red no alarm alarm, alarm activation needs to be confirmed

Safety and Usage Guidelines

Applicable safety standards: Following the EN 60204-1 industrial control system safety standard, it is prohibited to directly control motors, valves, and other actuators without safety protection using panels to avoid personal/equipment hazards caused by malfunctions.

Operation taboos

It is strictly prohibited to remove the panel back cover while powered on to prevent electric shock and equipment damage;

Before operating the live panel, service personnel must perform electrostatic discharge treatment to avoid electrostatic breakdown of components;

Do not use any tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches to operate buttons and touch screens to avoid physical damage.

Environmental taboos

Avoid prolonged exposure of the panel to direct sunlight, which can accelerate the aging of the panel film and affect display and protection;

It is prohibited to install in environments that come into contact with corrosive chemicals. Before installation, the panel film must be tested for its resistance to on-site chemicals.
