The RS485 multiplexes with the RS232_1, which means that you cannot use RS232_1 and RS485 at the same
time.
Chipsee designed one of the TF card slots for Lite version but it does not have an eMMC. We designed the
other one for storage expansion.
Power Input
The EPC/PPC-CM3-070 industrial Pi PC can be powered by a wide range of input voltages:
From 6V to 36V DC. There are two types of power input connectors. One is a 3 Pin, 3.81mm
screw terminal connector, and the other is a 2.1mm DC input head. The polarity and the
pinout is clearly marked on the housing of the CS10600RA070P version, as well as on the
board itself of the CS10600RA070E version, as shown in the gures below.

Attention
Chipsee does not install a lithium battery by default, as we cannot ship products with batteries. We recommend you
buy it locally and install it by yourself. The lithium battery part number is CR1220. Please Contact us if you need help.

EPC/PPC-CM3-070 Power Input
Chipsee IPC Page 7 of 18

Note that the “+” sign represents the positive power input, and it is printed both at the
casing and as a silk-screen on the board of the embedded version. The “-” terminal is
shorted to the ground.
Touch Screen
The EPC/PPC-CM3-070 industrial Pi PC uses a 5-point capacitive touch screen. The gure
below shows the capacitive touch screen connected to the motherboard via the FPC
connector.

Note
The system ground “G” is connected to power negative “-” on board.
The central pin is positive.

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-CM3-070 Power Input connector (pin 3) is properly connected to the Power System
Ground to provide sucient EMI shielding and eliminate the problem entirely.

Connectivity
There are many connectivity options available on the EPC/PPC-CM3-070 industrial Pi PC. It
has 2 x USB 2.0 Host (can be customized to Host or OTG), 1 x Channel 100M LAN (RJ45)
Ethernet connector supporting up to 1 Gbps, and 2 x UART terminals (RS232/RS485).
RS232/RS485
The serial communication interfaces (RS485, RS482, and CAN) are routed to a 8-pin 3.81mm
terminal, as illustrated on the gure below.

The table below oers more detailed description of every pin and its denition:
Bad GND problem can also be conrmed 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.

Attention
RS485_1 and RS232_1 share the same channel (UART1) and therefore you cannot use RS232_1 and RS485_1 at the
same time.

USB Connectors
There are 2 x Type A USB HOST connectors onboard, as shown on the gure below.
Figure 878: USB HOST Connectors (embedded/enclosed PC version)
The product has one USB OTG connector that works as a slave by default. You can use it to
establish a connection with the host PC and for downloading the system to the eMMC of
CM3/CM3+.
Figure 879: USB OTG Connector
Attention
The GPIO has been Opt-Isolated and it uses the 5V Logic by default. You can use an external isolated power input
but the power input range should be from 5V to 24V DC.
The 4 output channels can drive at most 500mA current on each channel.
