Eaton XV-232-57BAS-1-13-1 Product Introduction
1. Product Description
The Eaton XV-232-57BAS-1-13-1 is an entry-level 7-inch industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) tailored for small-scale automation systems, where cost-effectiveness, simplicity, and reliable basic functionality are prioritized. It is purpose-built for scenarios including standalone equipment control (e.g., small centrifugal pumps, tabletop packaging machines, single-axis CNC routers), simple sensor monitoring (e.g., temperature/humidity tracking in storage cabinets, pressure monitoring in compressed air lines), and auxiliary process panels (e.g., conveyor speed adjustment in small logistics workshops).
As a foundational model in Eaton’s HMI lineup, this product distinguishes itself through a rugged resistive touchscreen (ideal for gloved operation and dusty environments), simplified yet robust connectivity (focused on core industrial protocols), and a compact form factor that fits into narrow control enclosures. It seamlessly integrates with Eaton’s entry-level PLCs (e.g., XC-CPU101, XC-CPU201) and third-party basic controllers (e.g., Siemens S7-1200 Basic, Allen-Bradley Micro820), making it the go-to choice for small manufacturers, workshops, or commercial facilities 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.

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 basic process data, status icons (e.g., “Running”/”Fault”/”Idle”), and simple numerical readouts (e.g., pump pressure, conveyor speed). The resistive touchscreen is engineered for industrial durability: it supports operation with bare hands, work gloves (up to 5mm thick), or styluses, and its hardcoat surface (3H pencil hardness) resists scratches from tools or debris common in workshops. With a touch response time of <25ms and positioning accuracy of ±3mm, it ensures reliable interaction for essential commands like pressing “Start/Stop” buttons or adjusting parameter sliders.
- Processing & Storage Core: Equipped with a single-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor (800MHz) paired with 512MB DDR3 RAM—designed to handle entry-level automation tasks efficiently. This configuration supports simultaneous monitoring of 10–15 dynamic variables (with a refresh interval of ≤2s), rendering of basic equipment status animations (e.g., rotating pump icons, flashing alarm indicators), and execution of simple control logic (e.g., interlocking the “Start” command with a safety door sensor). The 2GB industrial-grade eMMC Flash (operating range: -20°C to 60°C) provides secure storage for 50,000+ historical data points, 50+ 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 16GB) 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 entry-level PLCs or small monitoring systems (e.g., Eaton’s basic 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 drives (e.g., small VFDs for conveyor 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.
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 150+ 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 15 dynamic parameters (e.g., pump flow rate, packaging machine cycle count, storage cabinet temperature) and execute 10+ commands—with basic interlock logic to ensure safety (e.g., disabling the “Start” button if a safety door is open, or stopping a conveyor if a jam sensor is triggered). 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 200 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 (65dB@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 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 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 Workshop Conditions: Undergoes testing per IEC 60068-2 standards to withstand typical industrial stressors:
-
- Temperature Cycling: 0°C to 50°C (10 cycles) to ensure performance in unheated workshops or warm production areas;
-
- Vibration Resistance: 10–500Hz (0.3g acceleration, 1h per axis) to handle vibration from nearby small machinery;
-
- Shock Testing: 10g acceleration (11ms half-sine pulse) to survive accidental bumps or drops during installation.
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., food packaging areas) or dusty workshops (e.g., metal fabrication). The rear housing uses flame-retardant ABS plastic (UL94 V-0) to meet basic fire safety standards.
- EMI Immunity for Compact 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 motors, VFDs, or other sources of electrical noise common in compact automation setups—preventing glitches or false alarms that could disrupt production.
4. Product Features
4.1 Cost-Effective for Budget-Constrained Applications
As an entry-level model, it delivers essential digital HMI functionality at a competitive price point—perfect for small businesses or workshops that need to replace outdated mechanical controls (e.g., analog gauges, toggle switches) without overinvesting in unnecessary features.
4.2 Resistive Touch for Rugged Usability
Unlike capacitive touchscreens (which can fail in dusty or wet conditions), the resistive design works reliably with gloves, oil, or debris—reducing touch-related downtime in harsh workshop environments.
4.3 Compact Form Factor for Tight Spaces
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).
4.4 Easy Setup & Low Maintenance
XV Designer Basic software enables quick project configuration (drag-and-drop widgets, simple Modbus setup) for users with minimal programming experience. The 40,000-hour backlight life and robust component selection also minimize maintenance needs—reducing total cost of ownership over the product’s lifecycle.
