Installation and Maintenance Requirements

Before Starting
Read and understand this chapter before beginning the installation of your system.
The use and application of the information contained herein require expertise in the design and
programming of automated control systems. Only you, the user, machine builder or integrator, can
be aware of all the conditions and factors present during installation and setup, operation, and
maintenance of the machine or process, and can therefore determine the automation and
associated equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be effectively and properly
used. When selecting automation and control equipment, and any other related equipment or
software, for a particular application, you must also consider any applicable local, regional, or
national standards and/or regulations.
Pay particular attention in conforming to any safety information, different electrical requirements,
and normative standards that would apply to your machine or process in the use of this equipment.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH
Replace and secure all covers, accessories, hardware, cables, and wires and confirm that a
proper ground connection exists before applying power to the unit.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Programming Considerations

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Only use software approved by Schneider Electric for use with this equipment.
 Update your application program every time you change the physical hardware configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Dimensions and Clearances

Introduction
This section describes the dimensions and the mounting clearances for the Remote Graphic
Display.

Dimensions
This illustration describes the external dimensions of the Remote Graphic Display:

Minimum Clearances

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Place devices dissipating the most heat at the top of the cabinet and ensure adequate
ventilation.
 Avoid placing this equipment next to or above devices that might cause overheating.
 Install the equipment in a location providing the minimum clearances from all adjacent
structures and equipment as directed in this document.
 Install all equipment in accordance with the specifications in the related documentation.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

The Remote Graphic Display has been designed as an IP65 product when properly installed,
excluding the RJ45 connector. The Remote Graphic Display must be installed on the front panel
of the cabinet or enclosure to achieve the IP65 rating. Clearances must be respected when
installing the product.
There are four types of clearances between:
 The Remote Graphic Display and all sides of the cabinet (including the panel door).

Overview
The Controller State menu allows you to see the present state of your logic controller and perform
commands in the logic controller.

Remote Control Considerations


Care must be taken and provisions made for use of this product as a control device to avoid
inadvertent consequences of commanded machine operation, state changes, or alteration of data
memory or machine operating parameters.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
 Place operator devices of the control system near the machine or in a place where you have
full view of the machine.
 Protect operator commands against unauthorized access.
 If remote control is a necessary design aspect of the application, ensure that there is a local,
competent, and qualified observer present when operating from a remote location.
 Configure and install the Run/Stop input, if so equipped, or, other external means within the
application, so that local control over the starting or stopping of the device can be maintained
regardless of the remote commands sent to it.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

WARNING
UNINTENDED MACHINE OR PROCESS START-UP
 Verify the state of security of your machine or process environment before applying power to
the Run/Stop input.
 Use the Run/Stop input to help prevent the unintentional start-up from a remote location.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

Alarms are associated with specific memory bits within the logic controller. Those bits are
monitored and, when TRUE, are included in the Alarm View.
When system bit %S122 is set to 1, the Alarm View page is displayed automatically when a rising
edge is detected on an alarm bit.
When system bit %S123 is set to 1, the backlight on the Remote Graphic Display turns red when
an alarm is active. For more information, refer to system bit (%S122 and %S123) description
(see Modicon M221, Logic Controller, Programming Guide).
NOTE: Alarm bit must be ON for at least 50 ms before it is included in the Alarm View.
NOTE: Alarms are not saved when the controller goes through a power cycle.

Alarm History

The History page displays a maximum of 40 alarm messages with the date and time when the
alarm either became active or was resolved, along with an up arrow to indicate when the alarm
became active and a down arrow when it is resolved. The most recent alarm is at the top of the list.

The action is executed when pressing the keys.

Defining Actions
There are two types of actions:
 Function
 Navigation

Function
Forcing input and output values in a running logic controller can have serious consequences to the
operation of a machine or process. Only those who understand the implications in the controlling
logic, and who understand the consequences of forced I/O on the machine or process, should
attempt to use this function.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
You must have prior knowledge of the process and the controlled equipment before attempting
to force logic controller physical inputs/outputs, or writing values to logic controller memory
locations.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

These functions are available:


 WRITE_VALUE
 FORCE
 UNFORCE
 INCREMENT
 NOT

memory or I/O bits. The text of the alarm is then displayed on the Remote Graphic Display when
a rising edge of the associated bit is detected. You can define a maximum of 20 alarm messages.
NOTE: Alarms are not saved when the controller goes through a power cycle.
For more information on the alarm in the Remote Graphic Display, refer to the Alarm Menu
(see page 49).
Alarms have to be first configured in the Alarm View > Elements page of the Display tab in
EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Basic.
