Eaton XV-102-H3-70TWRL-10 Product Introduction
1. Product Description
The Eaton XV-102-H3-70TWRL-10 is an entry-level 7-inch industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) engineered for small-scale automation systems, where space efficiency, basic monitoring/control capabilities, and cost-effectiveness are prioritized. It is purpose-built for scenarios including standalone equipment operation (e.g., small centrifugal pumps, single-axis CNC routers, tabletop packaging machines), simple sensor data tracking (e.g., temperature monitoring in 3D printer enclosures, pressure supervision in compressed air micro-lines), and portable control units (e.g., handheld operators for small conveyor belts or laboratory equipment).
As a foundational model in Eaton’s HMI lineup, this product distinguishes itself through its rugged resistive touchscreen (optimized for gloved operation in dusty or semi-harsh environments), simplified yet reliable connectivity (focused on core industrial protocols for legacy and basic modern controllers), and compact form factor (fitting into narrow control panels or portable enclosures). It seamlessly integrates with Eaton’s micro-PLCs (e.g., XC-CPU101, XC-CPU102) and third-party ultra-compact controllers (e.g., Siemens S7-1200 Compact, Allen-Bradley Micro810), making it the go-to choice for small manufacturers, workshops, or laboratories looking to upgrade from mechanical controls to digital interfaces—without the complexity or cost of mid-tier models. Whether deployed in a garage-based machine shop, a small food processing unit, or a commercial HVAC auxiliary panel, it delivers consistent performance under typical industrial conditions like moderate vibration, dust accumulation, and temperature fluctuations (0°C to 50°C).

3. Product Specifications
3.1 Hardware Architecture
- Display & Touch Module: Features a 7-inch TN (Twisted Nematic) panel with 800×480 WVGA resolution—optimized for clear rendering of essential process data, simple status icons (e.g., “Running”/”Fault”/”Idle”), and basic numerical readouts (e.g., pump pressure, conveyor speed, sensor voltage). The 350cd/m² brightness ensures visibility in well-lit workshops or laboratory environments, while the 500:1 contrast ratio delivers legible text even for small font sizes (critical in compact displays). The resistive touchscreen is engineered for industrial durability: it supports operation with bare hands, thin work gloves (up to 3mm thick), or styluses, and its hardcoat surface (3H pencil hardness) resists scratches from tools or debris in tight spaces. With a touch response time of <30ms and positioning accuracy of ±4mm, it ensures reliable interaction for essential commands like pressing “Start/Stop” buttons or adjusting parameter sliders.
- Processing & Storage Core: Equipped with a 600MHz single-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor paired with 256MB DDR3 RAM—designed to handle entry-level automation tasks efficiently. This configuration supports simultaneous monitoring of 8–10 dynamic variables (with a refresh interval of ≤3s), rendering of basic equipment status indicators (e.g., flashing alarm lights, rotating pump icons), and execution of simple control logic (e.g., interlocking the “Start” command with a safety door sensor). The 1GB industrial-grade eMMC Flash (operating range: -20°C to 60°C) provides secure storage for 30,000+ historical data points, 30+ basic process recipes, and firmware backups—with built-in Error Correction Code (ECC) to prevent data corruption during unexpected power fluctuations. For extended logging needs, a microSD card slot (up to 8GB) supports storage of monthly production metrics or equipment maintenance logs.
- Simplified Communication Suite: Focused on core connectivity for small systems, it includes:
-
- 1×10/100Mbps Ethernet Port: Supports Modbus TCP/IP for seamless connection to micro-PLCs or basic monitoring systems (e.g., Eaton’s entry-level SCADA tools), enabling remote status checks or parameter adjustments via a local network;
-
- 1×Galvanically Isolated RS485 Port: Provides 2500V AC isolation to protect the HMI from ground loops or electrical noise, supporting Modbus RTU for integration with legacy sensors (e.g., analog temperature probes) or small drives (e.g., micro-VFDs for fan speed control);
-
- 1×USB 2.0 Host Port: Facilitates easy configuration (loading project files from a USB drive) and data export (saving logs to a USB stick for analysis in Excel), eliminating the need for complex wired PC connections in tight spaces.
3.2 Functional Capabilities
- Basic Monitoring & Control: Compatible with Eaton’s XV Designer Basic software—a user-friendly tool that requires no advanced programming skills. It offers 100+ essential industrial widgets, including pushbuttons, indicator lamps, numerical displays, and simple line charts (for tracking 1–2 variables over time). The HMI can monitor up to 10 dynamic parameters (e.g., micro-pump flow rate, 3D printer bed temperature, solenoid valve status) and execute 6–8 commands—with basic interlock logic to ensure safety (e.g., disabling the “Start” button if a safety door is open, or stopping a fan if temperature drops below a threshold). The interface supports 4 languages (English, Spanish, German, Chinese) and 2 user roles (Operator, Technician), making it accessible for small teams with diverse skill levels.
- Simplified Fault Diagnostics: Integrates a 2-tier alarm system (Warning/Fault) with logging for up to 100 historical events (timestamped to the minute). Alerts are delivered via:
-
- Color-coded screen pop-ups (amber for warnings, red for faults);
-
- A built-in audible buzzer (60dB@1m, fixed volume);
-
- Flashing status icons on the main interface.
It automatically detects common issues like Ethernet communication loss, RS485 bus errors, or power voltage deviations (outside 18–30V DC), and displays plain-text troubleshooting prompts (e.g., “Check Ethernet Cable Connection,” “Verify RS485 Wiring Polarity”) to help operators resolve simple faults without specialized training.
- Data Management for Small Teams: Supports basic data logging with configurable intervals (1s–24h) for 3–5 key parameters. Logs are saved in CSV format, which can be exported to a USB drive and opened in standard spreadsheet software—ideal for tracking simple metrics like daily production counts, average temperature, or micro-pump runtime. A 4-digit password lock prevents unauthorized access to critical settings (e.g., parameter changes, recipe edits), and a basic audit trail records essential user actions (e.g., alarm acknowledgments, command executions) to ensure accountability.
3.3 Environmental & Mechanical Reliability
- Durability for Compact Conditions: Undergoes testing per IEC 60068-2 standards to withstand typical entry-level automation stressors:
-
- Temperature Cycling: 0°C to 50°C (10 cycles) to ensure performance in benchtop environments or small enclosures with limited ventilation;
-
- Vibration Resistance: 10–500Hz (0.3g acceleration, 1h per axis) to handle vibration from nearby micro-machinery like 3D printers or small pumps;
-
- Shock Testing: 8g acceleration (11ms half-sine pulse) to survive accidental bumps or drops during installation in portable control boxes.
The front panel’s IP65 rating protects against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets (6.3mm nozzle, 10L/min flow rate at 3m distance)—suitable for environments requiring occasional cleaning (e.g., laboratory equipment) or dusty workshops (e.g., small electronics assembly). The rear housing uses flame-retardant ABS plastic (UL94 V-0) to meet basic fire safety standards.
- EMI Immunity for Micro-Setups: Complies with EN 61000-6-2 (industrial immunity) and CISPR 22 Class B (emissions), withstanding:
-
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD): 6kV contact, 12kV air;
-
- Conducted interference: 8V/m (80MHz–1GHz).
This ensures stable operation near small electronics like microcontrollers, sensors, or low-power drives—preventing glitches or false alarms that could disrupt micro-scale production processes.
