EXOR eTOP Series 300 Operation Panel: Complete Technical Analysis and Professional Application Guide for Industrial HMI
Overview and Technical Positioning of eTOP Series 300 Products
In industrial automation and control systems, the human-machine interface (HMI) serves as a critical bridge between operators and machines, and its performance and reliability directly affect production efficiency and operational experience. The eTOP series 300 operation panel represents the cutting-edge achievements of modern industrial HMI technology, integrating advanced display technology, flexible communication capabilities, and robust industrial design, providing an ideal solution for factory automation and building automation applications.
The eTOP series 300 includes seven models with different display sizes, covering application requirements from 5.7 inches to 15 inches: eTOP306 (5.7-inch TFT color), eTOP307 (7-inch widescreen TFT color), eTOP308 (7.5-inch TFT color), eTOP310 (10 inch TFT color), eTOP312 (12 inch TFT color), eTOP313 (13.3-inch widescreen TFT color), and eTOP315 (15 inch TFT color). This complete product line enables system integrators to select the most suitable operating terminal based on specific application scenarios and spatial constraints.
These control panels are fully compatible with UniOP Designer 6 software, which provides a powerful and intuitive programming environment that supports over 150 communication drivers, ensuring seamless connectivity with mainstream PLCs and controllers. The built-in Ethernet port not only supports device communication, but also allows HMI programming from Designer software and data retrieval from computers, greatly simplifying the system development and maintenance process.
Safety regulations and compliance certification
2.1 Safety Identification Level System
In industrial environments, operational safety is always the primary consideration. The eTOP series 300 operation guide establishes a three-level safety warning system to ensure that operators can clearly identify potential risks:
DANGER: Refers to an emergency situation where failure to comply with safety regulations may result in death or serious injury. This type of warning usually involves the risk of high-voltage electric shock or operations that may lead to catastrophic failures.
Attention: Indicates that failure to comply with safety regulations may result in equipment damage. This type of warning involves operations that may affect the normal operation of the equipment but will not cause personal injury.
CAUTION: Indicates that failure to comply with safety regulations may result in equipment defects or inconsistent operation. This type of warning usually involves procedural operational recommendations, following which can ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.
2.2 Standard Compliance and Certification
The eTOP series 300 operation panel is designed specifically for industrial environments and strictly adheres to international electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. The product complies with the 2014/30/EU Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive and is designed and tested according to the following standards:
EN 61000-6-4 (Industrial Environmental Radiation Standard)
EN 55011 Class A (Radio Frequency Characteristics of Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Equipment)
EN 61000-6-2 (Industrial Environment Immunity Standard)
EN 61000-4-2 (Electrostatic Discharge Immunity)
EN 61000-4-3 (Radiated Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Field Immunity)
EN 61000-4-4 (Electrical fast transient burst immunity)
EN 61000-4-5 (Surge Immunity)
EN 61000-4-6 (Radio Frequency Field Conducted Immunity)
It is worth noting that special measures must be taken to ensure compliance with EN 61000-6-3 standards when installing these devices in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. In addition, the product fully complies with the 2011/65/EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive and has been certified with the CE mark, indicating its free circulation within the European Economic Area.
2.3 Product Identification and Traceability
Each eTOP series 300 operation panel is uniquely identified by a badge on the back cover. The identification plate contains the following key information: product model name (such as eTOP306), product part number (such as ETOP306U1P1), production year and week, serial number, and product version ID. These information are crucial for technical support, warranty services, and firmware updates, and users should confirm the specific model used when reviewing this guide.
Core technical specifications and performance parameters
3.1 General Technical Characteristics
The eTOP series 300 operation panel adopts resistive touch screen technology to ensure the reliability of glove operation in industrial environments. All models are equipped with a 3V 50mAh rechargeable lithium battery (model VL2330, user non replaceable) to maintain hardware real-time clock and backup of historical event lists.
The user's memory is 64MB flash memory, and recipe data is stored in flash memory, limited only by available memory. The hardware clock/calendar is equipped with backup batteries and has an accuracy of over 100ppm at a working temperature of 25 ° C. The capacity of both the alarm and historical event lists is 1024, and the historical event list is maintained by a backup battery.
