Installation manual for X2 extreme
Foreword
All operator panels are developed to satisfy the demands of human-machine
communication. Built-in functions such as displaying and controlling text,
dynamic indication, time channels, alarm and recipe handling are included.
The operator panel works primarily in an object-oriented way, making it easy to
understand and use. Configuration is carried out on a PC using iX Developer
software. The project can then be transferred and stored in the operator panel
itself.
Various types of automation equipment such as PLCs, servos or drives can be
connected to the operator panels. In this manual, the term “the controller” refers
to the connected equipment.
This manual explains how to install the operator panel. Please refer to the
iX Developer reference manual for further information.

7 Additional Installation Tips

When experiencing communication problems in noisy environments or when
operating close to temperature limits, the following recommendations are to be
noticed.
Note:
The considerations described below are also applicable for the 12 V variant, even if
the text or figures refer to 24 V.
7.1 Grounding the operator panel

The mounting clamps of the operator panel do not provide a secure grounding
connection between the panel and the device cabinet, see 1 in drawing above.
1. Connect a wire, that is sized correctly according to local electrical codes,
between the quick-connect terminal connector on the operator panel and the
chassis of the panel, see 2 in drawing above.
2. Connect a wire or grounding braid, that is sized correctly according to local
electrical codes, between the chassis of the operator panel and the closest
grounding point on the door, see 3 in drawing above.
3. Connect a strong but short grounding braid between the door and the device
cabinet, see 4 in drawing above.
4. Twist the cables onto the 24 V DC feed, see 5 in drawing above.
2 turns around the ferrite core provide 4 times the suppression of 1 turn.
3 turns around the ferrite core provide 9 times the suppression of 1 turn.
Connect a wire or grounding braid, that is sized correctly according to local
electrical codes, between the chassis of the operator panel and the closest
grounding point , see drawing above.

Note:
The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area.
A long, thin grounding wire has a very high impedance (resistance) at high frequencies
and does not guide disturbances to the ground.
Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area.
A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better. The best is a short, thick
grounding braid.

In some industrial units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to the
chassis via a capacitor, see 1 in drawing above.
The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis, see 2 in
drawing above.
1. Check whether the other Ethernet unit has its shield directly grounded or
grounded via a capacitor.
Note:
In many cases, connecting the shielded Ethernet cabling to the chassis at both ends is
inappropriate. Hum or grounding loops can occur. Unshielded cabling may even result
in fewer communication errors.

A good solution may be to use a shielded Ethernet cable, but to connect the shield
at one end only.
One option is to break the shield, see 3 in drawing above.
A more elegant method is to expand the shielded Ethernet cabling with a piece of
unshielded Ethernet cable, see 4 in drawing above.
The shield can be grounded via an external 0.1 μF/250 V film capacitor, see 5 in
drawing above. This connects the HF transients to ground.
7.3 To Achieve Better EMC Protection

• Initially, use the original cabling from Beijer Electronics primarily.
• Use shielded M12 cables.
• Place the 24 V DC and communications cabling in one cable trunk/cable duct
and 230/380 V AC in another. If the cables need to be crossed, cross them at
90° only. Avoid combining the cabling for stronger 24 V DC outputs with
the communication cabling.
• Initially, use the original cabling from Beijer Electronics primarily.
• Use shielded cables for RS-232 communication.
• Use twisted pair and shielded cabling for RS-422 and RS-485.
• Use the cabling intended for the bus type; Ethernet, Profibus, CC-Link,
CAN, Device Net etc.
• Install and connect according to applicable specifications for the relevant bus
standard.
• Use shielded cabling for Ethernet, preferably with foil and a braided shield.
• D-sub covers should be shielded, and the shield should be connected to the
cover 360° where the cable enters.
• Connect the shield at both ends.

With longer distances, there is a risk that the ground potential may be different. In
that case, the shield should only be connected at one end. A good alternative is to
connect the other end of the shield to the ground via a 0.1 μF/250 V film capacitor.
Both ends are then connected to the ground in terms of HF, but only connected to
the ground at one end in terms of LF, thus avoiding the 50/60 Hz grounding loops.

Shielded cable Shielded cable
1. Use an EMC cable gland or regular plastic cable gland, remove the outer jacket
and connect the shield to the installation plate with a 360° metal cable clamp.
2. Place the 24 V DC and communications cabling in one cable trunk/cable duct
and 230/380 V AC in another. If the cables need to be crossed, cross them at
90° only. Avoid combining the cabling for stronger 24 V DC outputs with
the communication cabling.
Ferrite cores that are snapped onto the shielded cabling may remove minor
disturbances. Large ferrite pieces that are snapped onto unshielded cabling and
where the wires go 2-4 times around the cores are approximately 5-25 times more
efficient.
7.4 Ambient Temperature

The maximum ambient temperature for the operator panel is provided in the
specifications. The ambient temperature refers to the temperature in the device
cabinet which cools the operator panel’s electronics.

45 °C inside

Bottom
40 °C inside
In most cases, the ambient temperature for the operator panel is significantly
higher than the device cabinet’s ambient temperature.
If the cabinet is tall and there are a number of heat-generating devices, the
temperature at the top of the cabinet is considerably higher than the temperature

increase that would be expected. All electronics are sensitive to heat. The lifespan
of an electrolytic capacitor is cut in half with an 8-10 °C increase in temperature. A
15-20 °C temperature increase results in a quarter of the lifespan etc.
Rittal has a good program for estimating the anticipated average temperature in
the cabinet as well as a large program for controlling the temperature in the device
cabinet.
An enamel-coated steel cabinet has a radiant heat value of 5.5 W/m2 per degrees C.
Installing a fan inside the cabinet evens out the temperature, while moving air
provides considerably better cooling than still air.
Install the fan so that it sits in a cooler area and blows cold air against the operator
panel. If the fan is mounted at the top and sucks warm air upwards, the ambient
temperature of the fan becomes higher, resulting in a shorter lifespan.
An approximate value of the net power consumption for the operator panel can
be calculated by multiplying the supply voltage with the current drawn by the
operator panel. This is assuming that all supplied power is transformed to heat.

If a power supply that meets safety standards is used and only powers the operator
panel, there is no problem. See 1 in drawing above.
However, if a 24 V unit that also powers other units is used, there is reason to be
cautious, see 2 in drawing above. The operator panel does not have insulation
that meets safety requirements in the event of a potential short circuit between
230 V AC and 24 V DC. It is assumed that the 24 V power supply is secure, for
example, SELV according to EN 60950 (protection against electric shock) and
UL 950.
Note:
Here is an example that explains why a secure 24 V DC power supplycan be ruined
by mixing 24 V relay contacts with 230 V AC relay contacts in a smaller controller.
Check that the clearances and creepage distances between 24 V DC and 230 V AC fulfill
EN 60950 or UL 950. If not, input a separate 24 V unit into the operator panel.
If there is a substantial distance between the relay contacts for 24 V DC and

230 V AC, it is OK to use the same 24 V devices for all feeds. See 3 in drawing
above.
Connect 0 V on the 24 V power supply to the ground, see 4 in drawing above. This
offers three advantages:
• Safety is increased. The 24 V power supply is not live in the event of a faulty
connection or short circuit between 0 V (24 V) and 230 V phase.
• Transients on the 24 V feed are connected to the ground.
• No risk that the 24 V feed is at a high level in relationship to the ground. This
is not unusual since there is high static electricity.

7.6 Galvanic Isolation
The operator panel has galvanic isolation against the 24 V DC power supply
but no galvanic isolation between the communication ports for RS-232,
RS-422/RS-485 and USB. Only the Ethernet connection has galvanic isolation.

* = Internal 0 V (GND) connection
When a PC is connected to the operator panel, the internal 0 V (GND) of the

panel is connected to the protective ground via the PC.
A number of USB devices can have the shield connected together with the
protective ground. Here, the 0 V (GND) of the operator panel is connected to the
protective ground when, for example, a USB memory stick, keyboard, or similar
device is plugged in.
If a number of units are connected that have a 0 V and a ground connection, and
these are connected to various grounding points, there is a substantial risk of
problems. Grounding currents go through communication cables, the rear plate
of the controller, internally in the operator panel, and can cause errors.
Use external units to improve communication and achieve galvanic isolation.
Westermo has good industry-standard insulators that are also insulated from the
24 V DC feed.
Note:
It is very important to make sure that the 24 V feed in the external insulation unit is not
connected to one of the communication outlets. If it does not have 100% insulation
against the 24 V feed, disturbances and grounding currents from the 0 V on the 24 V
side disrupt the communication.
Using this type of unit solves one problem but creates a larger problem! A substandard
installation may work now, but problems may arise when other devices are connected.

7.7 Cable and Bus Termination RS-485

• If maximum transfer distance and maximum transfer speed is needed,
shielded and twisted pair cable should be used. The mutual capacitance
may not exceed 52.5 pF/m, and the cable area should be at least 0.25 mm2
(AWG 24).
• 0 V, the reference voltage for communication should be included in
the cabling. With two-way communication use two pairs; one pair for
communication and one pair for 0 V.
• The shield must be grounded at one end. The other end is usually grounded,
but with longer distances or when there is a difference in the ground potential,
the shield should be connected to the ground via 0.1 μF/250 V film capacitor
to prevent ground current in the braided shield. A number of manufacturers
recommend that the shield be grounded at each node. Various manufacturers
have different systems for bus termination.
Depending on the recipients’ design, the bus wires may be on the same level or
require pull-up or pull-down to ensure that no faulty signals are detected when the
bus is in resting mode (all transmitters are disconnected).
