About this Manual
This is the hardware manual for the emPC-X embedded PC.
Throughout the manual, the term emPC-X is used to identify the all systems. When required, the CPU
options are identified explicitly.
Conventions
If numbers are specified in this manual, they will be either decimal or hexadecimal. We use C-notation
to identify hexadecimal numbers (the 0x prefix).
If we refer to low active signal names, they will suffixed by a “#” character.
Some parts of the contains notices you have to observe to ensure your personal safety, or to prevent
damage to property. These are visually marked with the following alert symbols:
DANGER
Indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not
taken.
WARNING
Indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not
taken.
CAUTION
Indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
Indicates that damage to equipment can result if proper precautions are not taken.
Indicates information that we think you should have read to save your time by avoiding
common problems. Important suggestions that should be followed will also be marked
with this sign.
Acronyms and Abbreviations
EMC Electromagnetic capability.
ESD Electrostatic discharge.
GND System ground potential. Inside the product this is connected to the metal housing,
which might be connected to protective earth by the installation. There exist some
isolated reference grounds for communication interfaces or IO. These reference
signals are referred to as GND-x, where x indicates function.
SELV Safety extra low voltage.

1 Introduction
The emPC-X platform is a flexible computer system. It consists of one CPU board and can be
expanded with a variety of IO expansion boards. The boards are stacked together and are inserted
into a rail mounted housing. This allows flexible system building. Internal busses are documented, so
users can build application specific IO expansion boards.

1.1.2 Hardware Customization
Due to it’s flexible system architecture, the emPC-X can be customized if the standard products do not
provide optimum features or price. Customization is possible even at moderate quantities. Ask sales
department for details.
Following you find a (non-complete) list of possible customization:
•Without MRAM for price reduction.
•Serial ports can be modified for RS485 physical layer (optionally isolated)
•More CAN ports are possible by using expansion cards (in a larger housing)
•More serial ports are possible
•Digital/Analog-IO expansion card
•Customer specific expansion cards
•Other mounting options (e.g. flange mount)
