Page 20: Product Identification
Product Identification MEN user documentation may describe several different models and/or design revisions of the BC50R. You can find information on the article number, the design revision and the serial number on a label attached to the chassis. • Article number: Gives the product’s family and model. This is also MEN’s ordering number. -
Page 21: Getting Started
• Do not subject the equipment to the direct radiation of a heating device. • Wait until the equipment has dried completely or wait 12 hours before switching on the equipment. MEN Mikro Elektronik GmbH 20BC50R00 E1 – 2015-09-07... -
Page 22: Mounting The Bc50R
• The BC50R provides four mounting holes for installation. • Use M5 countersink head screws. Chapter 5.4 Dimensions of the BC50R Box PC on page 48 for the exact dimensions of the box PC and the positions of the mounting holes and connectors. -
Page 23: Connecting An Earthing Cable
Getting Started Connecting an Earthing Cable The BC50R features an earthing stud on the right side of the front panel (see Figure 2, The BC50R - front interfaces on page 18). A protective earth connection is essential for the system to meet its EMC specifications. -
Page 24: Starting Up The System
- 1 stop bit - No parity You can access the BIOS of the BC50R via Console Redirection and start up the BIOS setup menu by hitting the <F2> key. Now you can make configurations in BIOS and install an operating system. -
Page 25: Functional Description
Power Supply The BC50R is supplied with a nominal input voltage of 24 VDC and 36 VDC (10 to 50.4 V input voltage range) via a 4-pin M12 connector. You can find pin 1 at the left... -
Page 26: Ignition
When the ignition is turned off, the input voltage is not switched off at once but can be supplied for a user-defined time (shut-down delay) so that the operating system of the BC50R can shut down in a controlled way. Figure 8. Ignition behavior Power ... -
Page 27: Figure 9. Ignition And Watchdog State Diagram
The ignition pin (pin 4) can also be permanently connected to the power input pin (pin 1). In this case the BC50R is starting up as soon as the supply voltage is connected and switched off as soon as the supply voltage is disconnected without a delay for shutting down the operating system. -
Page 28: Real-Time Clock
RTC integrated in the CPU. MEN provides a dedicated software driver for the RTC device in order to set date and time as usual in Windows. For a detailed description of the functionality of the driver and for downloading the software please refer to the drivers' documentation on MEN’s website. -
Page 29: Thermal Considerations
10% clock speed increase is planned. 3.3.1 Thermal Considerations The operating temperature range of the BC50R depends on the system configuration (CPU, PCIeMiniCards, Ethernet, USB, ...) The power dissipation of the system also depends on the environmental conditions. It has a typical power dissipation of 14.4 W in a configuration with a T48N CPU with Windows 7 operating system and 1 Gb Ethernet connection. -
Page 30: Memory And Mass Storage
3.4.1 DRAM System Memory The standard model of the BC50R is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3 SDRAM. Up to 4 GB are supported. The graphics controller of the BC50R has no own memory and so uses 256 MB of the system memory by default. Other values can be set using a BIOS item in the sub-menu Video Configuration (possible settings 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB or 512 MB). -
Page 31: Usb Interfaces
Functional Description USB Interfaces The BC50R provides one USB 2.0 interface at the front panel via one M12 USB connector. The activity of the USB interface can be signaled via an LED at the front panel. The LED (user LED B) can be controlled via the SMBus. See Chapter 4.2... -

Page 33: Ethernet Status Leds
Differential pair of transmit data lines for 10/100Base-T 3.6.1 Ethernet Status LEDs The BC50R provides a total of four Ethernet status LEDs, two for each Ethernet channel. They signal the link and activity status (different LED behavior can be implemented on demand). -
Page 34: Status And User Leds
Functional Description Status and User LEDs The BC50R provides two status LED and two user LEDs. One of the status LEDs signals whether the onboard power generated by the BC50R’s on-board DC/DC converter is within valid range (LED1), the other (LED2) signals the system status (see Chapter 3.7.1 Status LED on page 35... -

Page 36: Serial Interfaces
Serial Interfaces 3.8.1 RS232 Interface The BC50R provides two isolated RS232 interfaces with a baud rate of up to 115.2 kbaud. They have an isolation of 500VDC to power and shield, both COM1 and COM2 have the same isolation group The activity of the COM interfaces is signaled via two LEDs at the front panel. -
Page 37: Pci Express Mini Card Interface
Functional Description PCI Express Mini Card Interface The BC50R supports the PCI Express Mini Card standard. Its two PCI Express Mini Card slots are located within the housing. The PCIe MiniCard sockets on the BC50R support both a USB and a PCIe interface. -
Page 38: Binary Inputs
3.10.1 Binary Inputs The BC50R supports two isolated digital inputs. These inputs work with an input voltage range from 0 V up to 154 V. This input voltage range is independent of the power supply input voltage. The GPI maximum voltage is the power input voltage. -

The BC50R itself has no antenna. You need to select and connect an antenna suitable for your application. The accuracy is mainly dependent on antenna quality. Please note that MEN does not supply antennas with the BC50R, since the choice of a suitable antenna depends on your application. The BC50R supports active and passive antennas. -
Page 41: Organization Of The Board
Organization of the Board SMBus Devices The controller hub of the BC50R has two SMB controllers. The devices responsible for board supervision and hardware control (SPD, BC) are connected to SMB0. The devices related to information and board functions (e.g. EEPROMs, sensors, GPIO controllers) are connected to SMB1. -
