Eaton XV-232-57BAS-1-10 Product Introduction
1. Product Description
The Eaton XV-232-57BAS-1-10 is an entry-level 7-inch industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) from Eaton’s XV230 series, engineered to deliver cost-effective, reliable human-machine interaction for small-scale automation systems. It is optimized for scenarios including standalone equipment control (e.g., small CNC mills, packaging machines, single-pump stations), basic sensor monitoring (e.g., temperature/humidity tracking in storage rooms), and auxiliary process panels (e.g., conveyor speed adjustment in logistics lines). As a practical solution for budget-constrained or space-limited applications, it empowers operators to monitor key real-time process variables (e.g., equipment runtime, sensor readings, fault status), execute essential control commands (start/stop, parameter setting), and troubleshoot simple issues—all while withstanding typical industrial challenges such as dust, moderate vibration, and temperature variations.
Key differentiators of this model include its compact 7-inch form factor (fitting into narrow enclosures), simplified yet robust connectivity (supporting core industrial protocols), and IP65-rated front panel (resisting dust and low-pressure water ingress). It seamlessly integrates with Eaton’s entry-level PLCs (e.g., XC-CPU101/201) and third-party basic controllers (e.g., Siemens S7-1200 Basic, Allen-Bradley Micro820), making it ideal for retrofitting aging mechanical equipment with digital interfaces or building lean automation setups for small manufacturers. Whether deployed in workshops, small factories, or commercial facilities, it delivers consistent performance with minimal setup and maintenance requirements.

3. Product Specifications
3.1 Hardware Architecture
- Display & Touch Module: Adopts a 7-inch TN (Twisted Nematic) panel with 800×480 WVGA resolution and 70% NTSC color gamut, enabling clear rendering of basic process diagrams, status icons (e.g., “Running”/”Fault”/”Idle”), and simple numerical data (e.g., sensor readings, runtime counters). The resistive touchscreen is designed for durability in industrial environments—supporting operation with bare hands, gloves (≤5mm), or styluses, and resisting scratches from tools or debris. It delivers a touch response time <25ms and positioning accuracy ±3mm, ensuring reliable interaction for essential commands (e.g., pressing “Start” buttons, adjusting parameter sliders).
- Processing Core: Equipped with a single-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor (800MHz) paired with 512MB DDR3 RAM, optimized for efficient handling of entry-level automation tasks: simultaneous refresh of 10+ dynamic variables (≤2s interval), rendering of basic equipment status indicators, and execution of simple control logic (e.g., interlocking “Start” command with safety door status). The 2GB eMMC Flash (industrial-grade, -20°C to 60°C operating range) provides secure storage for 50,000+ historical data points, 50+ basic process recipes, and firmware backups—with error correction code (ECC) to prevent data corruption from power fluctuations. Expansion via microSD (up to 16GB) supports short-to-medium-term data logging (e.g., 3 months of daily production metrics) or storage of equipment operation manuals.
- Interface & Connectivity: Features a simplified yet functional communication suite for small-scale integration: 1) 1×10/100Mbps Ethernet port supporting Modbus TCP/IP—enabling connection to entry-level PLCs, small monitoring systems (e.g., Eaton’s basic SCADA tools), or local networks for simple remote status checks; 2) 1×galvanically isolated RS485 port (2500V AC isolation) supporting Modbus RTU—ideal for integrating with legacy sensors, drives, or distributed I/O modules in EMI-prone environments (e.g., near small motors or pumps); 3) 1×USB 2.0 Host port—supporting configuration via USB drive (loading project files from a PC) and data export (saving logs to external storage for analysis).
3.2 Functional Capabilities
- Basic Monitoring & Control: Compatible with Eaton’s XV Designer Basic software (user-friendly, no advanced programming required), offering 150+ essential industrial widgets (e.g., pushbuttons, indicator lamps, numerical displays, simple trend charts) and support for BMP/JPEG images. It can monitor up to 15 dynamic variables (e.g., CNC spindle speed, packaging machine throughput, pump pressure) and execute 10+ commands—with basic interlock logic (e.g., disabling “Start” if a safety door is open or a sensor reading exceeds a preset limit). The interface supports 4 languages (English, Spanish, German, Chinese) and 2 user roles (Operator, Technician) to align with small-team operations and basic access control needs.
- Fault Diagnostics & Alarming: Integrates a 2-tier alarm system (Warning/Fault) with basic logging (storing up to 200 historical alarms with timestamps and fault codes). Alerts include: color-coded screen pop-ups (amber for warnings, red for faults), audible buzzers (65dB@1m, fixed volume), and visual indicators (flashing status icons on the main interface). It automatically detects common issues such as Ethernet communication loss, RS485 bus errors, power voltage deviations (outside 24V±15%), and touchscreen unresponsiveness—with plain-text troubleshooting prompts (e.g., “Check Ethernet Cable Connection,” “Verify RS485 Wiring”) to help operators or maintenance staff resolve simple faults quickly.
- Data Management & Security: Supports basic data logging with configurable intervals (1s–24h) for 5+ key parameters, with storage limited to local eMMC or microSD (no cloud connectivity). Logged data is saved in CSV format for easy export to PCs and analysis via Excel—suitable for tracking basic metrics (e.g., daily production counts, average temperature). A 4-digit password lock prevents unauthorized access to critical settings (e.g., parameter changes, recipe edits), and simple audit trails record basic user actions (e.g., alarm acknowledgments, command executions) to ensure operational accountability.
3.3 Environmental & Mechanical Compliance
- Rugged Durability: Undergoes testing per IEC 60068-2 standards to ensure reliability in entry-level industrial environments: temperature cycling (0°C to 50°C, 10 cycles), vibration testing (10–500Hz, 0.3g acceleration for 1h per axis), and shock testing (10g acceleration, 11ms half-sine pulse). The front panel’s IP65 rating resists 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., food packaging facilities) or dusty workshops (e.g., small metal fabrication shops). The rear housing uses flame-retardant ABS material (UL94 V-0) to meet basic industrial safety standards.
- EMI/EMC Immunity: Complies with EN 61000-6-2 (industrial immunity) and EN 61000-6-4 (industrial emissions), withstanding conducted interference (8V/m, 80MHz–1GHz) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) up to 6kV (contact discharge) and 12kV (air discharge). It meets CISPR 22 Class B standards for electromagnetic radiation—ensuring no interference with nearby sensitive equipment (e.g., precision sensors, small PLCs) in compact automation setups.
4. Product Features
4.1 Cost-Effective for Small-Scale Applications
As an entry-level model, it balances essential functionality with a competitive price point—ideal for small manufacturers, workshops, or commercial facilities that need digital HMI capabilities but have limited budgets. It avoids unnecessary high-end features (e.g., quad-core processors, 4K displays) while retaining core industrial reliability.
4.2 Compact Design for Space-Limited Enclosures
At 188mm×116mm×40mm, it fits into narrow control panels or tight equipment enclosures—critical for retrofitting aging machinery (e.g., adding a digital interface to a 20-year-old lathe) or building compact automation systems (e.g., portable pump control units).
4.3 Resistive Touch for Harsh Handling
The resistive touchscreen tolerates rough use (e.g., gloved hands, accidental tool contact) and debris accumulation—more durable than PCAP touchscreens for entry-level environments where equipment may not be regularly cleaned or operated with care.
4.4 Simple Setup & Maintenance
Compatible with Eaton’s user-friendly XV Designer Basic software (no advanced programming skills required), it enables quick project configuration (e.g., dragging-and-dropping widgets, setting up Modbus connections). The long 40,000-hour backlight life and robust component selection also reduce maintenance frequency and total cost of ownership.
