1 Introduction
APT4015A(x) is a panel computer built on a PC platform. It is intended to be
built-in into switchboard front panel.
The panel computer APT4015A(x) contains the main processor module with the
processor Intel®Atom™ (hereinafter referred to as the main CPU).
CPU Intel® Atom™E3815, Single core, 1.46 GHz
2 GB DDR3L RAM
4 GB SATA SLC eMMC
TFT LCD 15,6" interface (1366 × 768), LED backlight
Resistive touch panel
1× slot miniPCIe for mSATA
1×RS485 interface (galvanic isolation)
1× RS232 interface without galvanic isolation
2× USB with A-type USB connector
2× Ethernet interface 1 Gbps, connector RJ45
Nominal power supply voltage 24 V DC
The panel computer is designed to work within the whole operating temperature
range right after startup, without the need of tempering.
To avoid damage of electronics the computer switches automatically off
whenever critical temperature inside the system is reached.
On panel computer can run most of available operating systems. Please contact
AMiT technical support for information about current OS versions and support
for the OS launch.

6 Processor module
The panel computer APT4015A(x) contains a processor module MSC Q7-BT-
15-2201.
The core is based on the processor Intel® Atom™ E3815 Single-core.
The module memory device is memory type eMMC. Therefore, when keeping
the memory lifetime in mind it is recommended to minimize the number of
writing cycles.

7 Communication interface and peripherals
The panel computer APT4015A(x) contains the following communication
interfaces and peripherals:
RS232
RS485
Ethernet
USB
Touch panel
Backup battery
mSATA
Micro SD card
7.1 RS232 (COM1)
The panel computer of the APT4015A(x) series contains one RS232 interface.
Interface is not galvanically isolated.
The RS232 interface is implemented by the circuit of dual UART Exar
XR17V352 (PCI ID: 13A8:0352) and connected to the first interface of this
circuit. Specific mapping of this interface on a logical device depends on the
operation system applied. In OS Linux, it is usually device dev/tty/S4.

7.2 RS485 (COM2)
The panel computer of the APT4015A(x) series contains one RS485 interface.
The interface is galvanically isolated from the remaining electronics. The
interface can be also used for connection of multiple stations (up to 32 on one
segment).
The RS485 interface is implemented by the circuit of dual UART Exar
XR17V352 (PCI ID: 13A8:0352) and connected to the second interface of this
circuit. Specific mapping of this interface on a logical device depends on the
operation system applied. In OS Linux, it is usually device dev/tty/S5.
