Manufacturer | Eaton
Product Type | Industrial HMI Panel

Key Features and Advantages:

The ‌XV-303-15-C02-A00-1B introduces “Adaptive HMI” technology that automatically adjusts interface complexity based on operator skill level (detected via RFID badges). Its “TrueBlack” display technology achieves 5000:1 contrast ratio with <3% reflectivity, while the anti-glare coating resists chemical corrosion in pharmaceutical cleanrooms.

Cybersecurity hardened: Features TPM 2.0 secure cryptoprocessor with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 validation, supporting secure boot and encrypted data storage. The panel’s “DualOS Architecture” allows simultaneous running of real-time control OS (for PLC communication) and Windows IoT Core (for advanced analytics), with hardware-enforced memory isolation between domains. Maintenance personnel benefit from tool-less modular design enabling <5-minute hot-swap of I/O boards.

Application Fields:

In LNG terminals, the ‌XV-303-15-C02-A00-1B‌ serves as primary operator interface for cryogenic process control, with its -30°C cold-start ensuring reliability in arctic conditions. Semiconductor fabs utilize its IP69K rating for wet-cleaning compatibility while the particle-free touch surface meets ISO Class 1 cleanroom standards.

Electric vehicle battery plants leverage the HMI’s multi-touch gesture control for production line monitoring, with EtherCAT synchronization enabling ≤100μs update rates for high-speed assembly robots. The ‌Eaton XV-303-15-C02-A00-1B‌ is particularly effective in offshore wind farms where its salt-spray resistant coating and 1000-nit display overcome harsh marine environments.

Installation and Maintenance:

Installation preparation: The ‌XV-303-15-C02-A00-1B‌ requires vibration-isolated mounting (≤5G @ 10-500Hz) using provided anti-corrosion fasteners. Ensure proper heat dissipation with minimum 75mm clearance and implement shielded Ethernet cabling (CAT6A S/FTP recommended) for noise immunity.

Maintenance recommendations: Perform quarterly capacitive touch recalibration using Eaton’s XV-Cal tool. Replace the front gasket every 24 months in washdown environments. The panel’s predictive maintenance system provides 30-day advance notice for backlight replacement (50,000-hour MTBF). Always verify firmware integrity checksums after updates.
