(Hardware Manual) • Contents About this Manual This is the hardware manual for the emPC-X1600 embedded PC. It starts with an introduction to the emPC-X1600. After that it discusses some topics about installation of the product. The rest of the manual then covers technical details about the emPC-X1600.
1 - 5 Introduction The emPC-X1600-Platform is a flexible computer system. It consists of one CPU board and can be expanded with a variety of IO expansion boards. The boards are stacked together and are inserted into a rail mounted housing. This allows flexible system building. Internal busses are documented, so users can build application specific IO expansion boards.
• Power supply monitor 1.1.2 Hardware Customization Due to it’s flexible system architecture, the emPC-X1600 can be easily customized if the standard products do not provide optimum features or price. Customization is possible even at moderate quantities. Ask sales department for details.
(Hardware Manual) • Safety Instructions 2 - 7 Safety Instructions Refer to page iii for explanation of the warning notice system. The product described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation for the specific task, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
BIOS. cFast Card Removal Due to space limitations for the emPC-X1600, there is no opening in the housing for the internal cFast Flash card on the CPU module. For removing the cFast Flash card the housing of the emPC-X1600 must be opened. Therefore the back panel of the housing must be removed by removing the two screws –...
4 - 9 Interfaces The emPC-X1600 is equipped with differing interfaces. The following interfaces are common for all systems: DVI-D, 3 x USB 2.0, 1 x 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet and 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet. Depending on which alternative was ordered additional interfaces are available. The following table shows what alternatives are possible.
(Hardware Manual) • Interfaces 4 - 10 Power Supply, Reset and Power LED The power supply connector is implemented with a Phoenix Contact Plug type MC1,5/3-ST1F-5,08 BF and is included in delivery. The assignment of this connector is shown in Figure 5 and Table 3.
(Hardware Manual) • Interfaces 4 - 11 table 5: RS232 connector RS485 In the RS485 variant, there are only the differential signals D+ and D- provided. The transceiver is enabled to send data, when RTS# of the corresponding UART is low. Data received on the RS485 will always be seen on the UART’s RxD input.
(Hardware Manual) • Interfaces 4 - 12 USB type A receptacle USB0, USB1 and USB2 Two USB 2.0 interfaces are available at the front panel. 1 +5V, I = 500 mA 2 USB- 3 USB+ 4 GND table 9: USB connector...
