hard disc, the CC Pilot™ XS is completely without fans or other moving parts. With this
solution the CC Pilot™XS becomes nearly insensitive to vibrations and withstands
rough environments.
Through its high performance and generous connection alternativesthe CC Pilot™ XS
can be used in a multitude of working environments, such ascontrolling a machine or a
vehicle’s various functions. The CC Pilot™ XS can also be used as a PLC system in
accordance with IEC 61131-3 (CoDeSys). In this way it is possible to manufacture
complete CANopen based control system built upon the CC Pilot™ XS.

CC Pilot™ XS
Set-up and configuration
The CC Pilot™ XS usesWindows®CE 5.0 as operating system, which enables the
use of a multitude of applications in various fields of interest. Even though CC Pilot™
XS has been designed to handle greater stress and a harsher surrounding environment
than ordinary computers, it is built to be as simple as possible to handle. For instance,
through turn-key functionality, which means that the CC Pilot™ XS starts up
automatically when the key is turned in the ignition switch.
CC Systems AB can not guarantee the functionality for your CC Pilot™ XS in the case
where the supplied software is replaced or completed with other software which has
not been recommended by CC Systems AB or your supplier. Furthermore, CC
Systems AB can not guarantee the functionality of external devices, connected to your
CC Pilot™ XS.
Preliminary configuration
Depending on which particular situation your CC Pilot™ XS is being used; there can be
a need to perform an initial system and program installation. This can be true especially
with pre-installed software on the on-board computer or in the case where you yourself
installed new software. You have received instructions from you supplier and we
recommend that you abide by them in order to configure your system before use.
If you have received separately-supplied software that shall be installed in the onboard
computer, the CC Pilot™ XS may require synchronisation with a PC to install the
program. See the chapter entitled Software for more information about how you
connect to the CC Pilot™ XS.

Status Indicating Function
On the front side of the CC Pilot™ XS there is a status indicator, a red LED, which is
used to indicate different states for your CC Pilot™ XS during start up.
A 1Hz flashing red light indicates that the unit is starting up normally.
A continuous red lightindicates something is wrong.
Aquickly-flashing red lightmeans that the unit’s disc is blank and
needs to be loaded with an operating system.
When the operating system starts, the LEDstops flashing. From the operating system,
the LED can be used to show more messages. For more information, refer to the
operating system’s manual and also to the respective manual for each program
installed.
Shutting-Down
To ensure that data does not get lost or the hard disk become corrupt, it is
recommended that all programs are closed before the unit is shut down.
There are three ways to turn off CC Pilot™XS:
By pressing the On/Off button on the display.
By selecting Suspend on the start menu of Windows CE
By releasing the power connectors On/Off signal, i.e. using the turn key
functionality
When performing any of above the system will CC Pilot™XS start to shut down. In
order to help prevent data loss when the CC Pilot™ XS is shut down, there is a safety
mechanism in the system, which prevents the unit from shutting off before data has
been saved. This requires that the software which is running supports this.
Forced Shut Down
If the computer is not responding, press and hold the On/Off button for five seconds in
order to perform a forced shut down off the onboard computer.
Note that any information which was not saved will now be lost.
Touch screen
The CC Pilot™ XS is fitted with a touch screen which gives the opportunity to provide a
very easy-to-use HMI (Human Machine Interface) for the user. The first time the touch
screen is touched will cause a calibration routine to run. If needed, Calibration can also
be started manually via the control panel: start stylus, chose the tab Calibration and
then press the button Calibrate. Calibration can be cancelled by pressing the escape
key on a connected keyboard.
Be thorough with this calibration so that your touch screen will have the best possible
performance. You should use the same object (finger, stylus) during calibration which
you think you will use later.
