Overview

The Mitsubishi Electric Mac E Series E1070 is a Human Machine Interface (HMI) operator terminal designed to facilitate communication between humans and various automation equipment. It serves as a central point for displaying and controlling processes in industrial automation environments.

Function Description

The E1070 operator terminal is developed to meet the demands of human-machine communication, offering a range of built-in functions. These include the ability to display and control text, provide dynamic indications, manage time channels, handle alarms, and manage recipes. The terminal operates in an object-oriented manner, which is intended to make it intuitive and easy to use for operators.

Configuration of the E1070 is performed on a personal computer using the E-Designer configuration tool. Once a project is created and configured, it is transferred to and stored within the operator terminal. This allows the terminal to execute the defined human-machine interface tasks.

The E1070 can be connected to a variety of automation equipment, such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), servos, or drives. In this context, the term "the controller" is used as a general reference for any connected equipment. This broad compatibility makes the E1070 a versatile component in many industrial setups, enabling seamless interaction and control over diverse machinery and processes.

Usage Features

The E1070 is designed for stationary installation on a plane surface, requiring specific environmental conditions to ensure optimal operation. These conditions include the absence of high explosive risks, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight, and large, sudden temperature changes. Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for the terminal's performance and longevity.

The installation process involves preparing a panel cut-out according to specified dimensions. The terminal is then secured in position using provided brackets and screws, ensuring all fastening holes are utilized. Proper electrical grounding is essential, with the operator terminal and the controller system sharing the same electrical grounding (reference voltage level) to prevent communication errors. An M5 screw and a grounding conductor with a minimum cross-section of 2.5 mm² should be used for grounding.

For communication, only shielded communication cables are recommended, and high voltage cables should be separated from signal and supply cables to avoid interference. The terminal supports various communication ports, including RS422/RS485, RS232C, Ethernet, and USB, allowing for flexible connectivity options with different controllers and peripheral devices.

Before starting up the operator terminal, it must be brought to ambient temperature. If condensation forms, it is important to ensure the terminal is completely dry before connecting it to the power outlet. Correct voltage and polarity of the power source are also critical for safe and proper operation.

During use, it is important to keep the operator terminal clean. The display and surrounding front cover can be cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Users should avoid applying excessive force or using sharp objects when interacting with the keys or display. It is also crucial to note that emergency stop and other safety functions should not be controlled solely from the operator terminal, as dedicated safety systems are required for such critical operations.

The terminal features mode switches, which must be in the OFF position during normal operation. These switches should only be handled by qualified personnel. When using a compact flash card, it is important not to remove the card when the busy indicator is illuminated, as this could lead to data corruption or damage to the terminal.

Maintenance Features

Maintenance and repair of the E1070 should only be carried out by qualified personnel. Before any cleaning or maintenance operations, the equipment must be disconnected from the electrical supply to prevent electrical shock.

The terminal's keyboard features a membrane switch keyboard with metal domes and an overlay film of Autotex F157, designed for durability with a lifespan of 1 million operations. The display surface and keyboard material are resistant to a wide range of chemicals for up to 24 hours without visible change, which simplifies cleaning and ensures longevity in various industrial environments. However, Autotex F157 is not resistant to high-pressure steam over 100 °C or certain concentrated chemicals, and it is not suitable for long-term exposure to direct sunlight.

The real-time clock battery has a minimum life of 3 years. If the battery needs replacement, it is critical to use only batteries recommended by the supplier, as incorrect replacement may result in an explosion.

When the operator terminal reaches the end of its operational life, it or its parts must be recycled according to local regulations. Certain components, such as the lithium battery, electrolytic capacitor, and display, contain substances that could be hazardous to health and the environment, requiring proper disposal procedures. The manufacturer is not responsible for modified, altered, or reconstructed equipment, and only parts and accessories manufactured according to the supplier's specifications should be used for repairs or replacements.
