It is available both as an embedded solution and as a device hosed in an aluminum casing
with bezels, thus facilitating dierent installation options:
Installation on an industrial cabinet
Integration with the existing equipment
The EPC/PPC-A8-101-R Industrial PC is based around the powerful CS-SOM335X-V3 System
on Module (SoM), powered by the AM3354 Arm Cortex -A8 microprocessor unit (MPU).
The AM33554 MPU is enhanced with image, graphics processing, peripherals and industrial
interface options such as EtherCAT and PROFIBUS. The devices support high-level operating
systems (HLOS).
The microprocessor unit (MPU) subsystem is based on the ARM Cortex-A8 processor and
the PowerVR SGX™ Graphics Accelerator subsystem provides 3D graphics acceleration to
support display and gaming eects.
The AM33554 MPU does not generate extensive heat, so even the thin aluminum housing
on PPC version delivers sucient thermal dissipation.
Ordering Options
Chipsee products can be customized during the ordering process. The product will be
shipped with the pre-installed factory defaults if no extra requirements are specied. The

Power Input
The EPC/PPC-A8-101-R Industrial PC can be powered by a wide range of input voltages:
From 6V to 42V DC. The power input connector is a 3-pin, 3.81mm terminal. The polarity
and the pinout is clearly marked on the housing of the PPC version, as well as on the PCB
itself of the EPC version, as shown in the gure below.
Figure 649: Power Input (embedded/enclosed version)
Note that the “+” sign represents the positive power input, and it is printed both at the
casing and as a silk-screen on a PCB of the embedded version. The “-” terminal is shorted to
the ground.
Touch Screen
The EPC/PPC-A8-101-R Industrial PC uses a 10-point capacitive and resistive touch screen.
The gure below shows the capacitive or resistive screen connected to the motherboard via
the FPC connector.
Power Input Denition
Pin Number Denition Description
Pin 1 Positive Input DC Power Positive Terminal
Pin 2 Negative Input DC Power Negative Terminal
Pin 3 Ground Power System Ground
Table 169 Power Connector
Note
The system ground “G” is connected to power negative “-” on board.

Connectivity
There are many connectivity options available on the EPC/PPC-A8-101-R industrial PC. It has
2 x USB 2.0 Host, 1 x USB 2.0 OTG (can be customized to Host or OTG), 1 x Channel 100M
LAN (RJ45) Ethernet connector supporting up to 1 Gbps, and 5 x UART terminals (RS232/
RS485).
RS232/RS485/CAN
The serial communication interfaces (RS485, RS482, and CAN) are routed to a 12-pin
3.81mm terminal, as illustrated on the gure below.
Attention
A capacitive touch screen is susceptible to power noise and Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR). It may cause LCD ripples
or even capacitive touch malfunction. If using a capacitive multi-touch test application, you might notice the touch
points oat erratically across the display. There are several solutions to this problem:
Use a high-quality Power Adapter Unit (PSU) with low EMR. You can also provide power from a battery.
Make sure that the EPC/PPC-A8-101-R Power Input connector (pin 3) is properly connected to the Power System
Ground to provide sucient EMI shielding and eliminate the problem entirely.
Bad GND problem can also be conrmed by touching pin 3 of the Power Input connector with one hand while
operating the capacitive touch screen with the other hand. In this case, the operator’s body acts as the Power
System Ground.
