8 Assembly/Installation
8.1 Check Contents of Delivery
Ensure that the contents of the delivery are complete and intact. See chapter 1.3Contents of
Delivery for more information.

On receipt and before initial use, check the device for damage. If the device
is damaged, contact our customer service and do not install the device in
your system.
Damaged components can disrupt or damage the system.

8.2 Mounting Instructions

The HMI-Link G2 Device has 2 mounting holes for installation onto the back wall of the control
cabinet. This is the preferred mounting position since the cool air can flow from the bottom to
the top of the module for optimal cooling.

Page 18 06.08.2020
 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE PC 301-E12

8.3 Installation

A different mounting position is not recommended, as the specified environmental tempera-

ture cannot be guaranteed.

8.4 Mounting Material

• 2 x M5 screws

• 2x M5 washers (EN ISO 7089-5-200HV)

9 Wiring Guidelines
9.1 Ground
The signal-processing electronics must be connected to ground via the mount on control
cabinet or over the ground terminal provided. It is important to create a low-ohm ground con-
nection, only then can error-free operation be guaranteed. The ground connection must be
made with the maximum cross section and largest (electrical) surface possible.

Any noise signals that reach the signal-processing electronics over external cables must be
filtered through the ground connection. High frequency noise can also be dissipated over a
large (electrical) surface (skin effect).

06.08.2020 Page 21
PC 301-E12 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE

9.2 Shielding
The wiring of all data lines must be shielded. The low-ohm shielding is either connected at
the entry to the control cabinet or directly before the device over a large surface (cable grom-
mets, grounding clamps)!

Noise signals can therefore be prevented from reaching the electronics and affecting the
function.

9.3 ESD Protection

Before any device is connected to, or disconnected from the product, the
potential should be equalized (by touching the control cabinet or ground ter-
minal). Electrostatic loads (through clothing and shoes, etc.) can thereby be
dissipated.

Page 22 06.08.2020
 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE PC 301-E12

10 HMI-Link G2 Wiring
10.1 Shielding
The cable shielding must be connected to ground on both sides to prevent noise signals from
reaching the electronics and affecting the function.

06.08.2020 Page 23
PC 301-E12 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE

10.2 HMI-Link G2 Cable Specification

For the HMI-Link G2 line, CAT5e or CAT6 cables with shielded connectors must be used.

Self-fabricated cables must be tested for compliance with the limit values corresponding to
the cable class (CAT5e/CAT6...).

The HMI-Link G2 cable must be wired 1:1. A Tyco Mini I/O Type 1 connector plug must be
used.

1 White/green HMI_P0
2 green HMI_N0
3 White/orange HMI_P1
4 blue HMI_P2
5 White/blue HMI_N2
6 Orange HMI_N1
7 White/brown HMI_P3
8 Brown HMI_N3
shield Cable shielding shield

10.3 HMI-Link G2 Cable Routing

For CAT5e cables, the total allowable length is limited to 90 m. To utilize the maximum 100
m length of the HMI-Link G2, at least, CAT6 cable must be used.

To ensure correct function, it is important to ensure that in the cable strand, the wires do not
run parallel over long distances. It is recommended that a cable equivalent to or better than
the CAT6A standard be used.

When multiple HMI-Link cables run in parallel, the following limit values for the maximum
length of the parallel wiring apply:

Cable type 30 m 50 m 70 m 100 m

CAT5e/CAT6 6 4 2 1
CAT6a/CAT7 6 6 6 6

These specifications must be observed to avoid crosstalk between the data lines (and the
resulting interference).

Page 24 06.08.2020
 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE PC 301-E12

11 Transport/Storage
This device contains sensitive electronics. During transport and storage, high
mechanical stress must therefore be avoided.
For storage and transport, the same values for humidity and vibration as for
operation must be maintained!
During transport, temperature and humidity fluctuations may occur. Ensure
that no moisture condenses within or on the device be letting the device cli-
matize to the room temperature while turned off.

06.08.2020 Page 25
PC 301-E12 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE

12 Maintenance
During maintenance as well as servicing, observe the safety instructions from
chapter 2.

12.1 Service
This product was constructed for low-maintenance operation.

12.2 Repair

When sent for repair, the panel should be transported in the original packag-
ing if possible. Otherwise packaging should be selected that sufficiently pro-
tects the product from external mechanical influences, such as cardboard
filled with air cushioning.

In the event of a defect/repair, send the panel with a detailed error description to the address
listed at the beginning of this document.

Page 26 06.08.2020
 HMI-LINK G2 DEVICE PC 301-E12

13 Disposal
Should you need to dispose of the device, the national electronic
scrap regulation must be observed.
The panel cannot be discarded with domestic waste.
