Functional Features
The WOP IT X 550KTC supports multiple communication protocols including Modbus TCP, PROFINET, and Lauer proprietary protocols. The wireless interface enables real-time data exchange with controllers and remote diagnostics. The panel includes a built-in web server for configuration and status display. The user interface is developed using Lauer Configurator Pro, offering graphical objects, alarm lists, and data logging. The RFID reader (optional) allows user-specific access levels.
The battery management system provides accurate charge indication and safe charging. The panel automatically switches to wired mode when docked. The emergency stop and enable switch meet ISO 13849-1 Category 3 safety requirements. The panel also features an accelerometer for screen orientation (landscape/portrait) and a vibration alert for alarms.
Installation Guidelines
Install the docking station in a convenient location, connecting it to a 24 V DC power supply and to the network via Ethernet. For wireless operation, configure the Wi-Fi settings through the panel's setup menu. Pair the panel with the controller using the appropriate protocol settings. The enable switch must be programmed to require operator presence before motion is allowed.
Place the panel on the docking station for charging when not in use. Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. The panel can also be used in wired mode by connecting the Ethernet cable directly.
Operating Conditions
This mobile panel is intended for indoor use only, with ambient temperatures not exceeding 45 °C. Avoid exposure to heavy rain or direct water jets. The battery performance decreases at low temperatures. The wireless range depends on the environment; typically up to 100 meters in open space.
Applications
Ideal for robotic cells, crane control, mobile machinery (AGVs), remote commissioning, and maintenance diagnostics. Also used in large packaging lines and material handling systems where operators need to move.
Compliance and Certifications
CE, UL, and FCC certified. Complies with EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-4, and ISO 13849-1 (safety). RoHS compliant. Wireless certified per ETSI and FCC regulations.
Ordering Variants
Available with different display sizes (7-inch, 10-inch), with or without RFID, and with optional Bluetooth or Zigbee. Extended battery life option (10 hours) and higher protection rating (IP65) are available.
