REXROTH IndraControl VEP Embedded Terminal Project Planning and Operation Guide

High temperature surface: The casing of the equipment may be at high temperature during operation, and it needs to be cooled for at least 10 minutes after power failure before it can be touched.

3.5 Battery and Pressure System Safety

CMOS battery: Provides power for BIOS real-time clock, with a lifespan of approximately 5 years. Replacement requires contacting authorized services.

Capacitor group: As a component of UPS, its lifespan is affected by environmental temperature, and it is recommended to replace it every 5 years.

Pressure system: It is prohibited to disassemble pipelines under pressure. The pressure must be released and the medium must be emptied first.

4. Installation dimensions and mechanical installation

4.1 External dimensions

VEP 30.2CC: Front panel 296mm × 200mm

VEP 30.2CG: Overall 306mm × 241mm, with bracket mounting holes

VEP 40.2CE: Front panel 350mm × 290mm

VEP 50.2CH: Front panel 407mm × 370mm

4.2 Installation Guide

Drill holes (with a diameter of 5mm) on the installation panel according to the drawing.

Insert the device into the opening from the front and insert the M4 mounting bolt.

Tighten the nut from the back to secure it.

Ensure that at least 50mm of space is reserved around the device for heat dissipation and wiring.

Avoid direct sunlight to avoid affecting screen visibility and heat dissipation.

4.3 Expansion card installation

The device supports a second PC104 expansion card, which requires replacing the back cover and increasing the installation depth by 11mm. Only expansion cards released by Bosch Rexroth are allowed to be used.

5. Software system and initial debugging

5.1 Operating System and Pre installed Software

The device comes pre installed with Windows CE. NET 4.2 and integrates the following software environments:

IndraLogicWinCE: A soft PLC that complies with IEC 61131-3 and requires license activation.

WinStudio "lite": Visualization runtime, limited functionality, can be upgraded to a fully functional version.

Configuration tool: Rexroth CE Settings is used for network, auto start, server, and other settings.

5.2 First Power On and Touch Calibration

When powered on for the first time, the system automatically enters the touch calibration interface, and the user needs to use a stylus to click on four calibration points in sequence. After calibration is completed, it automatically enters the Rexroth CE Settings configuration interface. If calibration is incorrect, the boot.boo file in the root directory of the CompactFlash card can be deleted to restore factory settings.

5.3 Network and Communication Configuration

Configurable through Rexroth CE Settings:

Ethernet adapter: supports DHCP automatic acquisition or manual setting of IP, subnet mask, gateway DNS。

Application settings: Select the visualization data source (serial port or Ethernet), automatically launch programs (such as WinStudio, Remote Desktop, web browser, etc.).

Server settings: Enable/disable built-in FTP, web, Telnet servers.

5.4 USB device support

The system only supports tested USB devices, including:

Keyboard: HP KU-0133, Logitech Internet Navigator, Cherry G81-3000, etc

Mouse: IBM MO09BO, Cherry M-5000, Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse

USB flash drive: MC OSFLASHUB-064M released by Bosch Rexroth

6. Maintenance and upkeep

6.1 Daily Cleaning

Use anti-static cloth or window cleaner containing denatured alcohol to wipe the screen every week.

It is strictly prohibited to use solvents (such as paint thinner) to clean the keyboard film and display screen sealing strip.

6.2 Regular Inspection

Check all connectors and terminals for tightness and cables for damage every year.

Check the operation status of the fan and be careful not to place fingers or foreign objects near the fan blades.

6.3 Replacement of vulnerable parts

Backlight: When the brightness drops to 50%, it needs to be replaced. Contact authorized service.

CMOS battery: approximately 5 years lifespan, replacement requires professional service.

Capacitor group: It is recommended to replace it every 5 years, especially in high temperature environments.

7. Ordering Information and Accessories
