Modular MMI workstations are flexible and easy to service
4 April 2007Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products
Rittal’s highly-functional industrial workstations for decentralised use as the man-machine interface meet high requirements. Ease of control and ease of service play an important role.
With its new industrial workstation (IW), Rittal places great emphasis on ergonomics, functionality and safety. The system has a modular nature and offers ease of organisation through the large range of components and modern design.
The Rittal IW comprises a modular under-desk enclosure, 600 x 1040 x 645 mm (W x H x D), together with a VIP 6000 command panel or a comfort panel. The base enclosure offers sufficient space for a control system, for additional diagnostic and control elements, as well as for any decentralised network switches. Panel PCs and other control components can be installed in the vertically-hinged command panel, placed on the under-desk enclosure. For optimum input conditions, a keyboard housing can be installed, which, as well as an IP65 keyboard, can also take another mouse, and if desired, an access control system.
Protection
The base enclosure is manufactured from dipcoat-primed and powder-coated sheet steel offering effective protection. As an option, the plastic-coated worktop is also available in sheet steel, for more ruggedness. In addition, the IW, with its welded sheet metal sections, exhibits a high level of EMC shielding. Along with an IP55 protection category (as well as the command panel being IP65), the IW is well-suited for car manufacturers, and so offers sufficient protection for sensitive electronic components.
Cooling
The command panel is fitted with lateral aluminium cooling fins. For special conditions, a cooling unit can be mounted on the rear. Since many panel PCs have their own fans, an air control system can be attached to the rear panel of the command panel to support the stream of fresh cooling air required. Fans can also be placed in the base enclosure, to avoid heat pockets.
Servicing
Rittal's workplace solution is based on a hinged command panel and a hinged rear wall in the keyboard enclosure. This guarantees simple and fast access for servicing. Cable ducts and cable shunting rings ensure a clear and clearly structured set-up. Most components are made with products from the comprehensive Rittal modular system. In this way, cost-intensive special solutions are avoided.
