Helios Platform - Hardware Reference Manual

110124-3000A

Introduction

Helios™is a programmable edge controller that provides a flexible application-ready

hardware platform with enhanced wireless capabilities. It is based on the Catalyst XL

which integrates with a carrier board and supporting peripheral devices. All electronics

are housed in an enclosure. Three USB host ports for wireless devices and additional

storage are accessible in the USB Bay located under the removable cover.

With the Helios platform, you can quickly and easily create an edge controller device,

loaded with your application software that precisely meets your requirements. Several

options are available allowing you to choose the hardware based on your specifications.

Using pre-certified wireless modules in the USB Bay, the Helios platform can be easily

customized for any network. Software support includes Eurotech’s Everyware™Software

Framework offering an easy-to-use, Java-based development environment that

minimizes time to market and allows for easy portability for future expansion.

Block Diagram

The following diagram illustrates the system organization of the Helios platform. Notice

that the data connector on the Catalyst XL has been divided into two sections for this

illustration. Dotted lines indicate configuration options.For information about these

Further Reading

This document describes the Helios platform and is intended for system integrators. A

system-level overview is provided in the following sections. Check the Eurotech support

site (http://support.eurotech-inc.com/) for errata reports and for the latest releases of

these documents.

Handling Your System Safely

Anti-Static Handling

The Helios platform is designed to meet the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) criteria

contained in IEC 61000-4-2 (EMC – Part 4-2: Testing and Measurement Techniques –

Electrostatic Discharge Immunity Test). The electronics included in the enclosure contain

CMOS devices that could be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Observe

industry-standard electronic handling procedures when handling these electronics.

Where possible, work on a grounded anti-static mat. At a minimum, touch an electrically

grounded object before handling any electronics.

Packaging

Please ensure that, should a system need to be returned to Eurotech, it is adequately

packed, preferably in the original packing material.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

The Helios platform is defined as an unintentional radiator of electromagnetic energy.

For additional information about the EMI/EMC specification, see EMI/EMC, page 20.

Everyware™Software Framework

Everyware Software Framework (ESF) is an inclusive software framework that puts a

middleware layer between the operating system and the OEM application. It provides

industry-standard interfaces that shorten development time, simplify coding, and allow

software to be ported from one Eurotech hardware platform to another. ESF is available

on the Helios platform.

Information about ESF is available at http://esf.eurotech.com.
