An electric control apparatus for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V incorporating a liquid crystal display (LCD) with a touch screen. The display has a diagonal measurement of the screen of 30,5 cm (12 inches) and a resolution of 800 × 600 pixels in a housing with dimensions of approximately 30 × 23 × 6 cm. The apparatus incorporates an automatic data processing (ADP) machine presented with an operating system. The apparatus is equipped with the following interfaces:
It is also equipped with several built-in drivers for connecting with different types of automation devices and is able to execute and display desktop software programs, such as word processor and spreadsheet applications. The apparatus is presented to be used for electric control of machines in industrial processes in applications using programmable automation controllers or programmable logic controllers. |
8537 10 10 |
Classification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8537, 8537 10 and 8537 10 10. Given its objective characteristics, namely the presence of built-in drivers for different types of automation devices and an expansion bus for controlling input/output units, the apparatus is intended to be used for electric control of machines in industrial processes. Classification under heading 8471 as an automatic data-processing machine is therefore excluded. As the apparatus incorporates an ADP machine it is to be classified under CN code 8537 10 10 as numerical control panels with built-in automatic data-processing machine for a voltage not exceeding 1 000 V. |
