General Information
Power Requirement
24 VDC power must be supplied to the PANELWARE Controller unit. The Controller, in turn,
supplies the Keyblock and Display modules with power.
supplies the Keyblock and Display modules with power.
When estimating the total 24 VDC power consumption for a system, add up the 24 VDC power
supply requirements for all of the PANELWARE components being used, then add an additional
30% to allow for power on surge currents. Refer to the PANELWARE™ Hardware Installation
User’s Guide (GFK-0848) for details on displays and Keyblocks.

Connecting Power to the Controller
The 24 VDC power connector on the Controller is located on the top left corner of the unit. The
mating connector is supplied with each Controller.

Caution
Do not try to run PANELWARE off a Series 90-30 power supply revision M
or earlier. Although some configurations might function under this setup, it
is not recommended. Damage to the 90-30 power supply could result.

The suitability of a Series 90-30, revision N or later power supply depends
on the +24VDC isolated load requirements of the modules in your PLC.
Refer to the Series 90-30 Programmable Controller I/O Module
Specifications (GFK-0898) to determine additional load requirements of
your system.

All components of a PLC and the devices it is controlling must be properly grounded. This is
particularly important for the reasons listed below:

■
A low-resistance path from all parts of a system to ground minimizes exposure to shock
in the event of short circuits or equipment malfunction.
in the event of short circuits or equipment malfunction.
■
PANELWARE Operator Panels require proper grounding for correct operation.
The importance of grounding can not be over emphasized.
Setting Number Switches
Number switch settings on the Panel Controller can be set using a small flathead screwdriver to
turn the switch dial to the desired setting (so that the arrow points at the desired setting).

The assembled Panel configuration provides minimal space to reach the number switches once the
Panel is installed. If possible, these settings should be made before the Controller is installed.
