The Eaton 92-00597-02 operator interface support system is a Logic unit for the Modicon PanelMate Plus 4000 operator interface device series. This device has advanced features including a real-time battery-backed clock and an internal flash memory for program, font, and message storage, and it supports communication with a wide variety of PLCs, including Allen-Bradley SLC500 controllers and Modicon PLCs via a one-time use only diskette option. The 92-00597-02 operator interface support system is DC-powered, with an operating voltage range of 110 to 230 Volts AC and a nominal current rating of 2 Amps. The 92-00597-02 interface support system has 2 standard Serial ports known as Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2 at the rear end. These ports can be configured via software for the 485-2, RS422, or RS-232 signal levels, and they can be used as printer ports, communication ports with host controllers (PLCs), or for establishing a direct connection to a personal computer for the upload and download of applications.

The 92-00597-02 operator interface support system also supports a wide range of industrial communication networks, including the Allen-Bradley Data Highway and Data Highway Plus communication, DeviceNet communication, Profibus DP, Modicon Modbus plus communication, and Remote I/O communication networks. The 92-00597-02 operator interface support system has a 3-terminal fault relay port, a 2-terminal key switch, and an audio output port on the rear end. The 92-00597-02 operator interface support system has a very rugged design that allows for its use in extreme industrial conditions and it also supports NEMA Type 12/4 rated installations on the factory floor. The 92-00597-02 operator interface support system is designed for use within a 0 to 50 degrees Celsius operating temperature range and with a 5 to 95% non-condensing relative humidity range.
