12.3 Separating the control unit from the computer unit
Separating the device in an uninstalled state
As an alternative, dismount the device completely and separate the control unit and computer unit from one another in an uninstalled state. So that the processing unit, which is swung away from the control unit, does not bend the lugs (4), place a surface under the processing unit.
Mounting operator control unit on computer unit
To mount the operator control unit on the computer unit, perform the steps in reverse:
Caution
When you swing the control unit and processing unit together, make sure that the flatband cables are correctly folded together and do not get squished.
In order to do this, fold the flatband cables gently with specific spacing, as shown. The bend dimensions are specified in the following table. The USB cable does not have to be folded because it is stored as a loop in the processing unit.
