Eaton XV-232-57BAS-1-10 Product Introduction
1. Product Description
The Eaton XV-232-57BAS-1-10 is an entry-level 5.7-inch industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) designed for small-scale automation and basic monitoring tasks, where simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliable performance in general industrial environments are key priorities. It is purpose-built for scenarios including standalone equipment control (e.g., small water pumps, air compressors, single-axis conveyors), basic process monitoring (e.g., temperature/pressure tracking in small tanks, humidity supervision in storage rooms), and 简易 production line operation (e.g., batch counting, start/stop control for packaging machines).
As a foundational solution in Eaton’s HMI lineup, this model distinguishes itself with its compact form factor (ideal for space-constrained control panels), rugged resistive touchscreen (optimized for glove use in workshop settings), and essential communication interfaces (supporting core industrial protocols for seamless integration with low-to-mid-tier controllers). It seamlessly pairs with Eaton’s micro-PLCs (e.g., XC-CPU101, XC-CPU102) and third-party entry-level controllers (e.g., Siemens S7-1200 Compact, Rockwell Micro810), making it the preferred choice for small manufacturers, workshops, and regional industrial facilities—where complex HMIs are unnecessary and budget constraints are tight. Whether deployed in mechanical workshops, small food processing units, or HVAC auxiliary control panels, it maintains 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 5.7-inch TN (Twisted Nematic) panel with 320×240 QVGA resolution—optimized for clear rendering of basic process data (e.g., pump running status, tank level percentages) and simple graphical elements (e.g., on/off icons, progress bars for batch counts). The 300cd/m² brightness ensures visibility in well-lit workshops, while the 400:1 contrast ratio delivers legible text for key parameters (e.g., temperature readings, pressure values). The resistive touchscreen is tailored for industrial workshop use: it works reliably with thin work gloves (up to 3mm thick), tolerates occasional dust or oil splatters, and requires minimal maintenance. With a touch response time of <35ms and positioning accuracy of ±5mm, it supports essential operations like tapping “Start/Stop” buttons, adjusting setpoints via slider controls, and navigating between 2–3 monitoring screens—perfect for users with limited technical training.
- Processing & Storage Core: Equipped with a 500MHz single-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor paired with 128MB DDR3 RAM—designed to handle entry-level automation tasks efficiently without unnecessary complexity. This configuration supports simultaneous monitoring of 5–8 dynamic variables (with a refresh interval of ≤4s), basic data logging (e.g., hourly temperature trends), and simple control logic (e.g., interlocking a pump to stop if tank level drops below 10%). The 512MB industrial-grade eMMC Flash (operating range: -20°C to 60°C) provides secure storage for 10,000+ historical data points, 10–15 basic process recipes (e.g., preset temperature for heating tanks), and firmware files—with built-in error correction to prevent data loss during power fluctuations. A microSD card slot (up to 4GB) extends storage for longer-term logging (e.g., 1 month of daily operation data) or additional recipe files.
- Essential Communication Suite: Designed for seamless integration with small-scale automation systems, it includes:
-
- 1×Ethernet Port: Supports Modbus TCP/IP—enabling connection to local PLCs or simple SCADA systems for remote monitoring (e.g., a workshop manager checking pump status from an office computer);
-
- 1×Galvanically Isolated RS485 Port: Provides 2500V AC isolation to protect the HMI from electrical noise (common in workshops with multiple motors), supporting Modbus RTU for integration with legacy sensors (e.g., analog temperature transducers) or small drives;
-
- 1×USB 2.0 Host Port: Facilitates easy configuration (loading project files from a USB drive) and data export (saving logged data to a USB stick for simple analysis in Excel)—eliminating the need for complex wired PC connections.
3.2 Functional Capabilities
- Basic Monitoring & Control: Compatible with Eaton’s XV Designer Basic software—a user-friendly tool with drag-and-drop functionality (no advanced programming required). It offers 50+ essential industrial widgets, including pushbuttons, indicator lamps, numerical displays, simple trend charts (for 1–2 variables), and setpoint adjustment sliders. The HMI can monitor up to 8 dynamic parameters (e.g., conveyor speed, tank level, motor current) and execute 4–6 basic commands (e.g., start/stop pump, activate alarm, reset batch count)—with built-in safety logic (e.g., requiring a “Confirm” tap before stopping a running motor to prevent accidental operation). The interface supports 3 languages (English, Spanish, German) and 2 user roles (Operator, Technician)—simplifying training for workshop staff and restricting access to critical settings (e.g., only technicians can modify temperature setpoints).
- Simplified Fault Alerts: Integrates a 2-tier alert system (Warning/Fault) with logging for up to 50 historical events (timestamped to the minute). Alerts are delivered through two channels:
-
- Visual Alerts: Color-coded screen pop-ups (yellow for warnings, e.g., “Tank Level Low”; red for faults, e.g., “Pump Overload”) and flashing icons on the main screen;
-
- Audible Alerts: A built-in 65dB buzzer (fixed volume) that triggers for fault conditions—ensuring operators notice critical issues even if they’re not looking at the screen.
The HMI also displays plain-text troubleshooting hints (e.g., “Check Pump Power Supply” for overload faults) to help non-technical operators resolve simple issues without calling a technician.
- Basic Data Management: Supports configurable data logging for 3–5 key parameters (e.g., temperature, pressure, tank level) with user-defined intervals (1min–1h). Logs are saved in CSV format, which can be exported to a USB drive and opened in standard spreadsheet software—allowing workshop managers to review daily operation trends (e.g., verifying that a heating tank maintained 80°C ±5°C for a full shift). A 4-digit password lock protects access to data export and recipe modification functions, preventing unauthorized changes to operation settings.
3.3 Environmental & Mechanical Reliability
- Durability for General Industrial Use: Undergoes testing per IEC 60068-2 standards to withstand typical workshop conditions:
-
- Temperature Cycling: 0°C to 50°C (10 cycles) to handle seasonal temperature changes in unheated workshops or warm production areas (e.g., near heating tanks);
-
- Vibration Resistance: 10–500Hz (0.2g acceleration, 1h per axis) to tolerate vibration from nearby motors or compressors;
-
- Shock Testing: 10g acceleration (11ms half-sine pulse) to survive accidental bumps (e.g., a tool dropping on the control panel);
-
- Ingress Protection: IP65 front panel resists dust ingress and low-pressure water jets (6.3mm nozzle, 10L/min flow rate at 3m distance)—suitable for occasional cleaning with a damp cloth or exposure to minor oil splatters.
The plastic housing (UL94 V-0 flame rating) is resistant to common workshop chemicals (e.g., mineral oil, mild detergents) and includes a sealed front bezel to prevent dust from entering the display module.
- EMI Immunity for Workshop Environments: Complies with EN 61000-6-2 (industrial immunity) and CISPR 22 Class B (emissions), withstanding:
-
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD): 6kV air, 4kV contact;
-
- Conducted interference: 6V/m (80MHz–2GHz);
-
- Radiated interference: 20V/m (80MHz–2GHz).
This ensures stable operation near workshop equipment like electric motors, welders, or power tools—preventing glitches in parameter display or accidental control commands caused by electrical noise.
