Compliance mark. A copy of the Declaration of Conformity is available at the
Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley website
http://www.ab.com/certification.
ATTENTION
The product is intended to operate in an industrial or control
room environment, which utilizes some form of power isolation
from the public low voltage mains. Some computer
configurations may not comply with the EN 61000-3-2
Harmonic Emissions standard as specified by the EMC Directive
of the European Union. Obtain permission from the local power
authority before connecting any computer configuration that
draws more than 75 watts of ac power directly from the public
mains.
ATTENTION
To comply with EN 55024, the Ethernet port LAN cable must be
less than 30 m (98.42 ft) long, and it must be used only indoors
(that is, not exit the building at any point). All other I/O cables
must be less than 3 m (9.84 ft) long, and must be used only
indoors.

Chapter 2 Installation
Environment and Enclosure Review the information on enclosures and environments before
installing your computer.
Information
ATTENTION This equipment is intended for use in a Pollution Degree 2
environment, in overvoltage Category II applications (as defined
in IEC publication 60664-1), at altitudes up to 2000 meters
(6562 feet) without derating. The enclosure door must be
closed.
This equipment is considered Group 1, Class A equipment
according to IEC/CISPR Publication 11. Without appropriate
precautions, there may be potential difficulties ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to
conducted as well as radiated disturbance.
Operating the capacitive touchscreen version in a high noise
environment may cause the touchscreen to respond slowly to
touch inputs, or may cause the position of the screen cursor to
drift.
This equipment may be mounted in an enclosure that is suitably
designed to prevent personal injury resulting from accessibility
to live parts. If not mounted inside another enclosure the
mounting method must limit the tilt of the product to +/- 30°
from vertical. Examples include articulated arm, table-top
stand, wall mount, or other means having sufficient mechanical
stability. The mounting means must be firmly attached to the
supporting surface using screws bolts, or clamps so the
computer cannot tip.
In addition to this publication, see:
• Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, for
additional installation requirements, publication 1770-4.1.
• IEC publication 60529, as applicable, for explanations of the
degrees of protection provided by different types of
enclosure.

Installation Chapter 2
Installation Considerations Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and
reliable service:
• The installation site must have sufficient power.

• The enclosure must have sufficient space around air inlets and
outlets to provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never
allow air passages to become obstructed.
• The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum
operating temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices
in the enclosure. You may need to supply a fan, heat exchanger,
or air conditioner to meet this condition.
TIP Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is
often higher than the temperature in other parts of the
enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
IMPORTANT The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the

life span of any electronic device is shortened if you
continuously operate the product at its highest rated
temperature.
• The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified

limits. In very dry environments, static charges build up readily.
Proper grounding of the equipment through the ac power cord
helps to reduce static discharges, which may cause shocks and
damage electronic components.
• The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during
operation. The cover provides protection against high voltages
inside the product and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that
might interfere with other equipment.
Tools Required These tools are required for product installation.
• Panel cutout tools

• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Antistatic wrist strap (recommended)

Panel Mounting Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when installing the unit in a panel:
• Confirm that there is adequate space within the panel enclosure.

• Cut supporting panels to specifications before installation. Take
precautions so metal cuttings do not enter components already
installed in panel.
• Supporting panels must be at least 14 gauge to be sure of proper
sealing against water and dust and to provide proper support.
The mounting hardware supplied accommodates panels up to
6 mm (0.24 in.) thick.
• Remove all electrical power from the panel before making
cutout.
• Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.
• Take precautions so metal cuttings do not enter components
already installed in the panel.
ATTENTION Failure to follow these guidelines may result in personal injury

or damage to the panel components.
Panel Cutout Dimensions
The 6180P products must be appropriately mounted in the panel

cutout specified below.
Model Cutout Dimensions (HxW), approx.

1200P 279.0 x 450.0 mm (10.98 x 17.72 in.)
1500P 326.4 x 429.3 mm (12.85 x 16.90 in.)

Mount the Computer in a Panel
Mounting clips secure the computer to the panel. The 1200P and
1500P both require 10 mounting clips. Follow these steps to mount
the computer in a panel.
1. Remove electrical power from the panel.
ATTENTION
Remove all electrical power from the panel before making
cutout.
Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.
Take precautions so metal cuttings do not enter components
already installed in panel.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in personal injury or
damage to the panel components.
2. Cut an opening in the panel using the appropriate panel cutout

dimensions.
3. Make sure the sealing gasket is properly positioned on the

computer.
This gasket forms a compression-type seal. Do not use sealing

compounds.
4. Place the computer in the panel cutout.
5. Slide the mounting clips into the slots on the top, bottom, and
sides of the computer.

6. Gradually tighten the clips, one at a time, around the bezel by

to connect various USB devices such as an external USB HDD or
floppy disk drive to the computer. Front USB ports are enabled or
disabled through settings in the BIOS setup menu.

Applying AC Power A grounded 3-prong inlet IEC320-C14 power cord provides power to
the computer. The power supply input accepts 90-264V ac and is
autoswitching.
Operate the computer in an industrial or control room environment,

which uses some form of power isolation from the public low-voltage
mains.
ATTENTION Connect the ac power cable to a power source with an earth

ground to prevent electrical shock. Failure to follow this
warning could result in electrical shock.
The computer circuit should have its own disconnect. Use an
uninterruptible power source (UPS) to protect against
unexpected power failure or power surges.
Always shut down the operating system before removing
power to minimize performance degradation and operating
system failures.

The dc power option supports operation from either SELV or PELV

power source. A ground buss strip is provided to allow a user to
connect the DC common and functional ground terminals together.
This is to support some cases of SELV where grounding at the product
may be required by the end user.

The power supply is internally protected against reverse polarity.
ATTENTION Use a Class 2/SELV (safety extra low voltage) isolated and
ungrounded power supply as input power to the computer. This
power source provides protection so that under normal and
single fault conditions, the voltage between the conductors and
Functional Earth/Protective Earth does not exceed a safe value.
Follow these steps to connect dc power.
1. Secure the dc power wires to the terminal block screws.
2. Secure the ground wire to the GND terminal block screw.
3. Apply 24V dc power to the computer.
Functional Ground Screw The use of the functional ground screw is not required for safety and
regulatory compliance. However, if a supplemental ground is desired,
use the functional ground screw located in the I/O area on the side
panel of the computer..

Connecting to a Network The computers have two Gigabit LAN ports. The computers connect
to an Ethernet network using CAT5 or CAT5E twisted-pair Ethernet
cabling with RJ-45 connectors.
IMPORTANT To prevent performance degradation of Ethernet

communication, do not subject the computer or cables to
extreme radiation or conducted high-frequency noise.
Proper cable routing and power conditioning is required to be
sure of reliable Ethernet communication in an industrial
environment. Rockwell Automation recommends that you route
all Ethernet cabling through dedicated metal conduits.
Installing ferrite bead filters at the cable ends may also
improve reliability.
