Excessive Heat

The units withstand temperatures from 0º to 50ºC, and are fan-cooled.  

To keep the temperature in range, the cooling air at the base of the system must not exceed 50°C. 

Allocate proper spacing between internal components installed in the enclosure.  

Electrical Noise

Electrical noise is seldom responsible for damaging components, unless extremely high energy or high voltage levels are present. 

However, noise can cause temporary malfunctions, which can result in hazardous machine operation in certain applications. 

Noise may be present only at certain times, may appear at widespread intervals, or in some cases may exist continuously.

Noise commonly enters through input, output, and power supply lines and may also be coupled through the capacitance between these lines and noise signal

carrier lines. 

This usually results from the presence of high voltage or long, close  spaced conductors. 

When control lines are closely spaced with lines carrying large currents, the coupling of magnetic fields can also occur. 

Use shielded cables to help minimize noise. 

Potential noise generators include switching components, relays, solenoids, motors, and motor starters.

Refer to the relevant Federal, State/Provincial, and local electric codes, which provide data such as the size and types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for safe grounding of electrical components. 

It is recommended that the high voltage and low voltage cabling be separated and dressed apart. In particular,the AC cables and switch wiring should not be in the same conduit with all communication cables.

Line Voltage Variation  

The unit’s power supply is built to operate with an input voltage range of 100 240VAC, while still allowing the system to function within its operating margin.

As long as the incoming voltage is adequate, the power supply provides all the logic voltages necessary to support the processor, memory, and I/O.

In cases in which the installation is subject to unusual AC line variations, use a constant voltage transformer to prevent the system from shutting down too often.

However, a first step toward the solution of the line variations is to correct any possible feed problem in the distribution system. If this correction does not solve

the problem, use a constant voltage transformer.

The constant voltage transformer stabilizes the input voltage to the 1546 and 1547 units by compensating for voltage changes at the primary in order to maintain a steady voltage at the secondary. 

When using a constant voltage transformer, check that the power rating is sufficient to supply the unit.

AC Power Cable

A power cable must be created to supply power to the unit. 

The following materials are needed:  

A three-position power connector (supplied)

A braid/foil shielded power cable, terminated at power source end, with three 18 (1.0 mm), 16 (1.3 mm), or 14 (1.6 mm) AWG solid or stranded copper

wires, rated 80ºC or better

Perform the following steps to construct and attach the cable:

Cut wire cable to the desired length.

Strip 0.25-inch (6 mm) of insulation from the end of the conductor wire. No bare wire should be exposed when the cable is connected to the workstation.

Tin the wire ends with solder if using stranded wire. 

This will keep the wire from fraying.

Insert the three wire ends of the power cable into the hole of the connector plug.

Bend the Protective Earth ground (PE) wire, the neutral (N) wire, and the line(L) wire around the corresponding screw. Be sure that no bare wires are exposed.

Tighten the three screws above the wires to hold them firmly in place..

Use the screw provided to secure and strain-relief the power cable inside the connector. 

Plug the power cable into the power supply located on the side of the unit.  

Install the plug retainer bracket over the plug (mandatory for hazardous location installations).

Once the power cable and other optional interface cables are installed, installation is complete.

DRAM and Additional DRAM Dual Inline Memory Modules DIMMs)

You can order the 1546/1547 system CPU factory-configured for many configurations of DRAM. 

The system has two 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs that support 512, 1GB and 2GB options. 

The maximum amount supported is 2GB. 

You can reconfigure the DDR2 capacity by changing the DDR2 DIMMs on your board.

​PC/AT® and PCI Boards  

Check the memory and I/O configuration of the board you want to install so that it does not conflict with the CPU and I/O memory maps in your AIM4

documentation.

Remove the lid.

Remove the ORB screw from the desired slot.

Slide the PC/AT expansion board into the corresponding rail.

Push the board into the backplane connectors.

Secure the board by installing the screw through the hole in the board’s metal

ORB and into the top of the track.  

Replace the lid.

Unpacking the System

When you remove the system from its shipping container, verify that you have the parts listed below. 

Save the box and inner wrapping in the event you need to reship the unit.

1546 or 1547 unit

Documentation kit, which includes:

Power connector

Cable clamp and screw (for strain relief of power cord)

Documentation and Support Library CD-ROM

Operating System Recovery Media or retail operating system (CD-ROM)

Mounting hardware

The rugged design of the 1546 and 1547 Node Boxes allows it to be installed in most industrial environments. 

The system is generally placed in a NEMA 4/4X/12 enclosure to protect against contaminants such as dust, and moisture. 

Metal enclosures also help minimize the effects of electromagnetic radiation that nearby equipment can generate.  

For Underwriters Laboratories (UL) compliance, the unit must be installed within a suitable fire enclosure.

Read the following sections carefully to be sure that you are complying with all the safety requirements.

Select a NEMA rated enclosure and place the unit to allow easy access to the system ports (see other sections in this chapter and Appendix A).

To assure a NEMA 4 seal choose an approved enclosure that has a 14-gauge (0.075 in/1.9 mm thick steel or 0.125 in/3.2 mm thick aluminum) front face.

Be sure to account for the unit’s depth when choosing the depth of the enclosure.

Create a mounting location in the enclosure (see System Mounting Dimensions).

Be sure to place the unit at a comfortable working level

Make sure the area around the mounting location is clean and free from metal burrs

Mount the unit position and properly secure the unit into the panel.

Tighten the fourteen #10 screws to 20 inch-pounds (2.597 Newton-meters /23Kgf cm).

Construct a power cable following the instructions in AC Power Cable in this chapter..

Attach one end of the power cord to the power receptacle on the unit and the other end to a properly grounded 115/230 VAC, 50-60 Hz outlet.

A ground path from the unit chassis to the enclosure chassis can be established using the 6-32 threaded ground point hole provided on the bottom panel of the unit

Turn on power to the system. The system will boot up the installed operating system.

Install the application software via a floppy drive, CD-ROM, or the network.

Additional aspects to take into account when mounting your 1546 and 1547 Node

Boxes:

Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience

Prevent condensation by installing a thermostat-controlled heater or air conditioner

To allow for maximum cooling, avoid obstructing the airflow

Place any fans or blowers close to the heat generating devices. 

If using a fan, make sure that outside air is not brought into the enclosure unless a fabric or other reliable filter is used. 

This filtration prevents conductive particles and other harmful contaminants from entering the enclosure.

Do not select a location near equipment that generates excessive electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interface (RFI). 

Examples of these types of equipment are: high power welding machines; induction heating equipment;and large motor starters.

Place incoming power line devices (such as isolation or constant voltage transformers, local power disconnects, and surge suppressers) away from the

system. 

The proper location of incoming line devices keeps power wire runs as short as possible and minimizes electrical noise transmitted to the unit.

Make sure the location does not exceed the unit’s shock, vibration, and temperature specifications

Install the unit in the rack or panel in such a way as to ensure that it does not cause a hazard from uneven mechanical loading

Incorporate a readily-accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring on permanently connected equipment

Avoid circuit overloading of the supply circuit

Power Management

The following paragraphs explain the system power, the power supply, and the effects of excessive heat, electrical noise, and line voltage variation of the 1546

and 1547 Node Boxes.

System Power  

Using isolation transformers on the incoming AC power line to the system is always a good practice. An isolation transformer is especially desirable in cases in

which heavy equipment is likely to introduce noise onto the AC line.  

The isolation transformer can also serve as a step-down transformer to reduce the incoming line voltage to a desired level. The transformer should have a sufficient power rating (units of volt-amperes) to supply the load adequately.

Proper grounding is essential to all safe electrical installations. 

Refer to the relevant Federal, State/Provincial, and local electric codes, which provide data

such as the size and types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for safe grounding of electrical components. 

The code specifies that a grounding path must be permanent (no solder), continuous, and able to safely conduct the ground-fault current in the system with minimal impedance (minimum wire required is #18 AWG, 1 mm).

Observe the following practices:

Separate ground wires (P.E. or Protective Earth) from power wires at the point of entry to the enclosure. 

​To minimize the ground wire length within the enclosure,locate the ground reference point near the point of entry for the plant power supply.

All electrical racks or chassis and machine elements should be Earth Grounded in installations where high levels of electrical noise can be expected. 

The rack/chassis should be grounded with a ground rod or attached to nearby Earth structure such as a steel support beam. 

Each different apparatus should be connected to a single Earth Ground point in a “star” configuration with low impedance cable. 

Scrape away paint and other nonconductive material from the area where a chassis makes contact with the enclosure.  

In addition to the ground connection made through the mounting bolt or stud, use a one-inch metal braid or size #8 AWG wire to connect between each chassis and the enclosure at the mounting bolt or stud.

System Power

It is a good practice to use isolation transformers on the incoming AC power line to the system. 

An isolation transformer is especially desirable in cases in which heavy equipment is likely to introduce noise onto the AC line. 

The isolation transformer can also serve as a step-down transformer to reduce the incoming line voltage to a desired level. 

The transformer should have a sufficient power rating (units of volt-amperes) to supply the load adequately.

Proper grounding is essential to all safe electrical installations. Refer to the relevant federal, state/provincial, and local electric codes, which provide data such as the size and types of conductors, color codes and connections necessary for safe grounding of electrical components. 

The code specifies that a grounding path must be permanent (no solder), continuous, and able to safely conduct the ground-fault current in the system with minimal impedance (minimum wire required is 18 AWG, 1 mm).

In addition to the ground connection made through the mounting bolt or stud, use a one-inch metal braid or size #8 AWG wire to connect between each

chassis and the enclosure at the mounting bolt or stud.

Excessive Heat

To keep the temperature in range, the cooling air at the base of the system must not exceed the maximum temperature specification (see pg. 1-4). 

Allocate proper spacing between internal components installed in the enclosure.

When the air temperature is higher than the specified maximum in the enclosure, use a fan or air conditioner to lower the temperature.

Location and Enclosure

• Place the unit to allow easy access to the system ports.

• Account for the unit dimensions when selecting an installation location or enclosure

• You can maintain the NEMA 4 seal by mounting the unit in an approved enclosure that has a 14 gauge (0.075″/1.9 mm thick) steel or (0.125″/3.2 mm thick) aluminum front face.

• Place the unit at a comfortable working level.

• Mount the unit in an upright position, if possible.

• Consider locations of accessories such as AC power outlets and lighting (interior lighting and windows) for installation and maintenance convenience.

Back Light Replacement Procedure

After 50,000 hours of use, the two lamps used for LCD back lighting may become dim or burn out. You may return the monitor to Xycom for lamp replacement or you can order new lamps and follow the procedure below to install them. 

You can perform the lamp replacement procedure without removing the monitor from the NEMA enclosure where it is mounted, but you should do this only in a clean environment. 

Otherwise, the procedure is better performed at a service bench.

1. TURN THE MONITOR POWER OFF AND DISCONNECT THE LINE CORD

2. Loosen the four thumbscrews that hold the back of the monitor on.

3. Separate the two halves of the monitor. If the unit is equipped with a touchscreen, you will have to disconnect its cable.

4. The lamps are mounted in small plastic carriers that slide in the right side of the LCD display at the top and bottom edges.

5. Note their orientation and then unplug the two sets of lamp wires (3″ pink and white silicone wires) from the nearby inverter.

6. Look in the hole where the lamp is presently installed and note the small black locking tab on the front side of each hole. With a small slotted screwdriver, depress the tab while carefully pulling on the wires and slide the lamps outward.

7. Carefully slide the new lamps fully into place noting the top lamp has a small triangle molded in the end where the wires protrude. Similar triangles a stamped in the LCD sheet metal near the top hole.

8. Reconnect the lamp wires to the inverter. These are keyed connectors permitting insertion in only one orientation.

9. You may now want to clean the LCD and the inside of the monitor window or touchscreen with a slightly damp soft cloth.

10. Carefully reunite the two monitor halves remembering to reconnect the touchscreen cable if the unit is so equipped.

11. The lamp replacement procedure is now complete.
