Product Introduction
The XV-440-10TVB-1-20 is one of those legacy HMI-PLC units that still shows up in packaging lines, skid-mounted systems, and older Moeller/Eaton control panels. It is not just an operator panel. With the correct CoDeSys license, it can run local PLC logic, handle alarms and recipes, and communicate over CANopen, Ethernet, and RS-232.
The “TVB” in the model code indicates a 10.4-inch TFT display with VGA resolution and resistive touch. The “-1-20” suffix defines the communication and feature set, typically including CANopen, Ethernet, RS-232, USB, and CompactFlash support. It runs on 24 VDC and mounts into a panel cutout with an IP65-rated front bezel. This makes it suitable for industrial environments where a mid-size screen, local control, and fieldbus connectivity are required without adding a separate PLC.
QA/QC Transparency SOP
- Intake & Part Number Verification: Confirm full model XV-440-10TVB-1-20, Eaton/Moeller labeling, and serial number. Verify it is an XV400 unit, not an XV300, XV150, or XVS panel.
- Power-Up Test: Apply 24 VDC and verify boot sequence, backlight operation, and Windows CE startup. Check for display dead pixels or touch drift.
- Interface Verification: Test Ethernet link, RS-232 communication, CANopen port activity, USB host/device function, and CompactFlash card detection.
- License and Configuration Check: Confirm whether the CoDeSys PLC license, visualization runtime, and communication licenses are installed. A unit without licenses may boot but cannot run PLC logic or certain protocols.
- Touch and Display Calibration: Perform resistive touch calibration and verify screen response across corners and center. Resistive screens often develop localized dead zones after years of use.
- Final QC & Packaging: Record firmware version, license status, and test results. Pack with anti-static protection and cushioning for the display. For surplus units, state whether licenses were verified.
Field Engineer Gotchas
- Resistive touch, not capacitive. The XV-440-10TVB uses a resistive screen. Listings claiming multi-touch or capacitive glass are usually describing newer XV300/XV150 panels.
- PLC function is license-dependent. The hardware may support CoDeSys, but the PLC engine often requires a separate license stored on the CompactFlash card or internal memory.
- CompactFlash is critical. Many XV400 units boot from or rely on a CompactFlash card for project files, licenses, and OS components. A missing or corrupted card can prevent startup.
- CANopen configuration matters. The CANopen port is not automatically plug-and-play. Node ID, baud rate, and EDS files must match the network.
- Do not confuse it with XV300/XV150. Newer Eaton panels use different processors, touch technology, and software tools. Projects cannot be directly transferred without conversion.
- Front IP65 requires proper mounting. The IP65 rating applies only when the panel is correctly installed with the sealing gasket and mounting clips.

Application Scenarios
- Packaging and filling machines: Provides local HMI, recipe management, and CANopen communication to drives and I/O blocks.
- Pump and compressor skids: Consolidates visualization and small-scale PLC logic into a single 10.4-inch panel.
- Conveyor and material handling systems: Displays line status, fault messages, and manual control screens.
- Legacy Moeller/Eaton retrofits: Replaces failed MICRO PANEL XV400 units while preserving existing CANopen and RS-232 interfaces.
- OEM machine builders: Used where an integrated HMI-PLC reduces cabinet space and simplifies wiring.
FAQ
What is the Eaton XV-440-10TVB-1-20?
It is a 10.4-inch XV400 HMI-PLC with VGA resistive touch, 24 VDC supply, Ethernet, RS-232, CANopen, USB, and CompactFlash support.
Does it have PLC functionality?
Yes, but only when the CoDeSys PLC license is installed. Without the license, it functions primarily as an HMI.
What touch technology does it use?
Resistive touch. It is not a capacitive multi-touch panel.
Can I use it as a direct replacement for an XV300 panel?
No. The XV400 and XV300 platforms use different hardware, software, and project formats.
What software is required?
Eaton XSoft-CoDeSys for PLC logic and the associated HMI visualization software for screen design.
What should I check before buying surplus stock?
Verify the exact model, display condition, touch response, CompactFlash card presence, and whether PLC and communication licenses are installed.
Is this model still in production?
It is generally considered legacy. Most available units are surplus, refurbished, or new-old-stock.
