Installation
It is necessary to follow all installation procedures described in this chapter for electrical noise immunity and CE
compliance.
Your Maple Systems Panel PC is designed to connect easily to your PLC. External rear connectors provide quick
connections for power, communications and programming wiring.
There are two serial port connections on the rear of the touchscreen computer. COM1 is fixed for RS-232, while
COM2 is selectable for RS-232, RS-422, RS-485.
Connect the Panel PC to Power
The PC110C has a DC jack for connection of a DC power adapter.
Panel Preparation
A metal panel or mounting surface with a minimum thickness of 15 gauge (0.059 inch/3.3 mm) if cold-rolled steel
or hardened steel, or 10 gauge (0.101 inch/2.6 mm) if aluminum alloy (6061-T6 preferred) is required. Thinner
panels or surfaces may bow between the mounting clamps and not form a seal with the gasket.
The area of the panel or mounting surface where the gasket comes into contact must be flat and free of scratches,
pits, and other features that prevent the gasket from sealing properly. If the panel or mounting surface is not
uniform, thick, flat, stiff, or smooth enough, then a sealant such as silicone may be required.
WARNING
The touchscreen computer requires a stiff, flat, smooth mounting surface free of
blemishes to seal properly to NEMA 4.
Mount the Panel PC to the Panel
The PC100 Series Panel PC can be mounted flush to the panel.
Clean and deburr the panel cutout before the touchscreen computer is installed.
