UniOP ETOP306 5.7-Inch HMI Touchscreen

Description

Key Technical Specifications

The manufacturer documentation identifies the ETOP306 as a 5.7-inch TFT HMI with 320 × 240 resolution, resistive touchscreen, 64 MB user memory, Ethernet, USB, and optional fieldbus modules.

The technical manual specifies 24 V DC operation across an 18–30 V DC range, 0.55 A maximum current at 24 V DC, IP65 front protection, IP20 rear protection, and 0–50 °C operating temperature.

Product Introduction

The UniOP ETOP306 is a compact industrial HMI operator panel from the eTOP Series 300. It uses a 5.7-inch TFT color display, 320 × 240 resolution, analog resistive touch, Ethernet, USB, and serial communication interfaces for machine and building automation applications.

The panel is compatible with UniOP Designer 6 and supports more than 150 communication drivers according to the technical documentation. Optional plug-in modules provide additional fieldbus and network connectivity.

Installation & Configuration Guide

Stage 1: Pre-Installation Preparation — Approximately 10 Minutes

⚠️ Safety First: Place the machine in a safe state and follow the site’s lockout/tagout procedure before disconnecting the HMI power supply.

Tools Required:

• ESD wrist strap
• Screwdriver
• Digital multimeter
• Connector labels
• Smartphone/camera
• Existing HMI project backup

Before removal:

1. Record the complete ETOP306 model marking.
2. Photograph the rear connectors and wiring.
3. Record the Ethernet configuration if Ethernet is being used.
4. Back up the HMI application through the existing UniOP programming environment.
5. Record communication driver and PLC settings.
6. Photograph any optional TCM/SCM communication module installed in the panel.

The ETOP Series 300 supports application transfer and firmware upgrades through Ethernet and USB. 

Stage 2: Removing the Old HMI — Approximately 5 Minutes

1. Shut down the machine or controlled process according to site procedures.
2. Isolate the 24 V DC supply.
3. Verify that the HMI power terminals are de-energized.
4. Label all communication cables.
5. Disconnect Ethernet, USB, serial, and power connections as installed.
6. Release the panel mounting hardware.
7. Remove the ETOP306 carefully from the panel opening.

⚠️ Keep the old HMI until the replacement has been tested. Its configuration is often more useful than an assumed default configuration.

Stage 3: Installing the New HMI — Approximately 10 Minutes

1. Verify that the replacement is an ETOP306.
2. Confirm the panel cutout is approximately 176 × 136 mm.
3. Inspect the gasket and front-panel sealing surface.
4. Insert the HMI into the panel opening.
5. Secure the mounting hardware evenly.
6. Reconnect the 24 V DC supply.
7. Reconnect Ethernet and serial communication cables.
8. Reinstall any optional communication module in its original position.

The published mechanical dimensions are approximately 187 × 147 mm for the faceplate and 45 + 4 mm for the depth.

Self-Checklist:

• model confirmed
• 24 V DC supply verified
• Polarity checked
• Panel cutout verified
• Communication cables labeled
• Optional module configuration preserved
• Mounting hardware secured

Stage 4: Power-On & Testing — Approximately 10–15 Minutes

1. Check the 24 V DC supply with a multimeter before powering the HMI.
2. Energize the HMI.
3. Allow the operating/runtime environment to complete startup.
4. Confirm touchscreen response.
5. Check Ethernet link status.
6. Verify communication with the connected PLC/controller.
7. Open the HMI application.
8. Test representative operator commands.
9. Check alarms and historical alarm functions.
10. Verify data acquisition and trend displays.

The supports alarms, historical alarm lists, recipes, data acquisition, trends, multilingual applications, and password protection through its UniOP software environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the UniOP ?
The is a 5.7-inch industrial HMI operator panel designed for factory and building automation. It combines a TFT color display, resistive touchscreen, Ethernet, USB, and serial communication interfaces.

Q: What power supply does the require?
The specified input is 24 V DC, with an operating range of 18–30 V DC. Maximum consumption is specified as 0.55 A at 24 V DC.

Q: What software is used to program the ?
The eTOP Series 300 is compatible with UniOP Designer 6. The documentation also states that the platform supports more than 150 communication drivers.

Q: Does have Ethernet?
Yes. The has a 10/100 Ethernet interface. Ethernet can be used for communication with external devices and for HMI programming/data transfer.

Q: What is the display resolution?
The standard specification is 320 × 240 pixels on a 5.7-inch TFT color display. The display uses LED backlighting and an analog resistive touchscreen.

Q: Can I use a different eTOP model as a direct replacement?
Not automatically. The eTOP Series 300 includes different display sizes and mechanical dimensions. The has a 176 × 136 mm panel cutout, so a different model may require mechanical and software changes.

Q: What are the environmental ratings?
The documented operating temperature is 0 to 50 °C, with storage from −20 to +70 °C and 5–85% relative humidity, non-condensing. The front panel is rated IP65, while the rear is IP20.
