Serial port 11. Serial port The DLoG MTC 6 is equipped with an externally accessible serial interface COM1. Resources for the serial port are pre-defined in the system architecture and automatically managed by the BIOS. 11.1. COM1 as a power supply The COM1 port can optionally supply externally connected equipment with +5 V of power.
These compensation currents, which are also present at the ground point of the RS-232 connection, may significantly degrade signal quality and effectively stop the data flow. In challenging environments, electrically-isolated connections (via external converters) or differential systems (RS-422/485 port) are strongly recommended. User’s Manual V1.00 DLoG MTC 6...
Internal devices 12. Internal devices 12.1. Chipset The DLoG MTC 6 computer is equipped with a chipset which controls the communication between all function modules. The chipset converts the signals it receives from the CPU into memory access, flash access and other similar actions. Likewise, it transmits requests from peripheral devices to the CPU.
Internal devices 12.4. Network adapter (10/100/1000) The DLoG MTC 6 is equipped with a 10/100 Mbit network adapter. This adapter features an RJ45 port. The network controller undertakes the entire task of connecting the hardware to the network. The RJ45 connection port features two integrated status LEDs. They display the...
(for example, motor supply) or to supply lines already used by other consumers. The supply voltage connected is then linked to the DLoG MTC 6’s ignition input via a switch, for example, the key switch of the ignition (also with a fuse).
Internal devices 12.5.1. Automatic switch-off process When the ignition is switched on, the DLoG MTC 6 is supplied with power and begins checking its internal temperature and automatic switch-off function. Once the ambient conditions have been verified as acceptable, the DLoG MTC 6 starts the operating system just like normal.
The DLoG Config program must be installed for the automatic switch-off module to function correctly. If the DLoG Config has not been started, the DLoG MTC 6 will carry out a hard shutdown once the delay time and shutdown time set by the hardware e.g.
Depending on the cable layout and interference from the environment, it may be impossible to use the cable length of 100 m given in the specification (IEEE 802.3 standard). The solution here is the use of a shorter cable. User’s Manual V1.00 DLoG MTC 6...
14.1. Cleaning the housing The housing of the DLoG MTC 6 is best cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use compressed air, a high-pressure cleaner or vacuum cleaner, as this can damage the surface.
• Observe correct voltage ranges. 15.2. Powering up/down • Please note that the function of the DLoG MTC 6’s <Power>-key varies depending on how the device is configured. • Only disconnect the computer from the power supply after the computer has been properly shut down and switched off.
