MFG Code: 139968  |  Series: XVS400  |  Display: 5.7" CSTN Infrared Touch

1. Product Overview

The EATON XVS-440-57MPI-1-10 (material code 139968) is a 5.7-inch all-in-one HMI-PLC touch panel from Eaton's XVS400 series, designed as a human-machine interface terminal for small-to-medium equipment automation. The unit features infrared touch technology, a CSTN color LCD screen, and native communication interfaces including Ethernet, RS232 and PROFIBUS/MPI. With an optional PLC license, the XVS-440-57MPI-1-10 can execute local logic control without an external controller, completing both equipment monitoring and motion logic in a single compact device.

Housed in an anodized metal enclosure with IP65 front protection, the EATON XVS-440-57MPI-1-10 operates reliably in continuous industrial conditions from 0 °C to 50 °C. It runs on the Windows CE operating system and stores programs, system images and process recipes on a CompactFlash card. The panel is compatible with GALILEO visualization software and XSOFT-CODESYS 2/3 engineering tools, offering native communication support for Siemens MPI bus devices, general Ethernet PLCs and serial peripherals. With a maximum power consumption of 19 W and a net weight of 1.8 kg, the panel supports flush mounting and is widely used in machining, packaging, logistics conveying and light-industry automation equipment. Thanks to its integrated HMI+PLC expansion, the XVS-440-57MPI-1-10 significantly simplifies control cabinet wiring and reduces hardware costs.

3. Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated HMI-PLC expandability — By adding license 140389 LIC-PLC-MXP-SMALL, the EATON XVS-440-57MPI-1-10 runs standard CODESYS PLC programs internally, eliminating the need for a separate PLC, saving cabinet space and lowering equipment costs.
• Native Siemens MPI hardware interface — Connects directly to Siemens S7-200 / S7-300 controllers without additional communication modules, delivering stable bus networking ideal for retrofit projects with existing Siemens equipment.
• Multi-protocol compatibility — Ethernet supports both Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP; the serial port connects to barcode scanners, printers and weighing instruments; USB Host accepts USB drives for exporting production reports and recipe data; USB Device enables direct PC connection for program download and commissioning.
• Industrial-grade durability — IP65 front protection against water and dust; anti-reflective tempered glass for strong workshop lighting; infrared touch unaffected by oil and dust, offering longer service life than resistive touch and no periodic touch-film replacement.
• Comprehensive process data management — Supports independent recipe storage, 200-level password permission hierarchy, 100 online operation languages, built-in event alarm buffering and process value I/O visualization — well suited for multi-market export equipment.
• Long-term power-loss data protection — Dual backup via NVRAM and a dedicated clock battery ensures recipes, alarm records and equipment parameters are retained for up to 10 years during shutdown, reducing re-commissioning effort.

4. Product Characteristics

• Standardized metal front panel with a sealed dust-proof film; flush mounting only — DIN rail or wall mounting is not supported.
• System, engineering program and recipes all rely on the CF card for storage; the device itself has no large on-board storage. Replacing the device is as simple as migrating the CF card to quickly restore the full system.
• Infrared touch has no physical surface wear and supports thin-glove operation, ideal for oil- and dust-laden machining workshops.
• Modular communication license expansion — beyond the base interfaces, additional protocol licenses can be purchased to unlock extra bus functions.
• Total dissipation of 19 W with fanless passive cooling, avoiding dust-related fan failures and reducing maintenance frequency.
• Three standard engineering software packages: GALILEO for screen configuration, XSOFT-CODESYS 2/3 for both screen and PLC logic programming — a complete development ecosystem.
• Complies with IEC 61439 switchgear assembly design standards; shock, vibration, flame retardancy and UV resistance all meet industrial control cabinet specifications.

• Built-in print output function — connect serial / USB printers to print production data and fault alarm records in real time.

5. Application Areas

6. Operating Principle

The EATON XVS-440-57MPI-1-10 operates through three coordinated units: the display & touch unit, the communication processing unit, and the logic processing unit.

After power-on, the Windows CE system loads the configuration project from the CF card. The infrared touch layer continuously captures touch coordinates and sends them to the main processing unit, which parses button presses, numeric input and screen-switching commands.

The communication unit handles multiple bus channels in parallel: the PROFIBUS/MPI channel cyclically reads Siemens PLC register data; the Ethernet channel exchanges production parameters with upper-level computers and remote controllers; the RS232 channel collects signals from external instruments and barcode scanners. All acquired data is stored in the 64 MB DRAM and refreshes the on-screen display in real time.

When the 140389 PLC license is installed, the logic processing unit activates the CODESYS runtime and executes ladder logic and structured text programs per the IEC 61131 standard. Logic commands are issued through each communication bus to drives, sensors and actuators, enabling fully automatic equipment operation.

Production recipes, fault alarms and operating parameters are simultaneously stored in the on-board 1.5 MB Flash and 32 KB NVRAM. After power loss, the solder-mounted CR2032 battery maintains the real-time clock and retains data; on restart the device automatically reloads historical data to resume operation. The USB Host channel can read data from the CF card at any time and export it to removable storage for production archiving.
