About this Manual
This is the hardware manual for the emPC-X1600 embedded PC. It starts with an introduction to the
emPC-X1600. After that it discusses some topics about installation of the product. The rest of the
manual then covers technical details about the emPC-X1600.
Throughout this manual the term emPC-X1600 also refers to emPC-X1100 when not otherwise
noticed. Both products only differ in the CPU option.
More in depth technical information will be found in secondary manuals, e.g. the ixBus system
reference manual.
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).

1 Introduction
The emPC-X1600-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.

•Internal expansion bus (iX-Bus)
•System Power supply 9..32 VDC
•Reset Push Button and Power LED
•2 male 9pin D-SUB connectors, utilized by serial ports or CAN (see table above)
•Power supply monitor
1.1.2 Hardware Customization
Due to it’s flexible system architecture, the emPC-X1600 can be easily 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:
•Internal SSD with up to 4 GByte MLC Flash. Soldered to PCB for improved mechanical reliability.
•Without nvSRAM 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 (but not currently supported for WindowsXP)
•Digital/Analog-IO expansion card
•Customer specific expansion cards
•Power supply monitor to supervise power supply voltage and one external control voltage. The
monitor can be configured to turn system on/off upon configurable thresholds and with
configurable timeouts.
1.1.3 Software
Supported by
•Windows XP
•Windows XP embedded
•Windows-CE 6.0
•Linux, QNX.

3 - 8 emPC-X1600 (Hardware Manual) •Installation/Maintenance
3 Installation/Maintenance
WARNING
The emPC-X1600 is designed as a fan less computer system. Nevertheless a certain
amount of heat is generated inside the housing. The housing transports this heat to the
environment. Caution when touching the housing, burns hazard!
The external power supply has to be connected to “+” and “-“. The additional input “S” is the sense input
of an optional power supply monitor (Leave open if the power supply monitor is not available).
If the Power LED does not lit after power is applied, the input polarity might be reversed. Swap the wires
and try again.
Once during power-on, the BIOS detects which type of monitor is connected to the
emPC-X1600 and configures the video system accordingly. Therefore:
•If you have no monitor connected to the DVI connector during power-on, you will
not see any video output, even if you connect a monitor later on.
•If the monitor you have connected during power-on is not supported, then you
will not see any video output, even if you connect a proper monitor later. Note
that the BIOS rejects to operate with monitors that have a larger physical
resolution than supported. E.g your UXGA monitor will not work as 1600x1200 is
rejected by BIOS.
3.1 cFast Card Removal
Due to space limitations for the emPC-X1600, there is no opening in the housing for the
internal cFast Flash card on the CPU module. For removing the cFast Flash card the
housing of the emPC-X1600 must be opened. Therefore the back panel of the housing
must be removed by removing the two screws – the back is the one with which the
emPC-X1600
is mounted on the DIN rail.
NOTICE
Power must be turned off before removing or inserting the compact flash card. When
installing the Compact Flash Card, precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD)
must be taken.
3.2 Battery replacement
The battery is needed for keeping the RTC alive. To replace the battery the housing must be opened by
removing the four screws at the front.
CAUTION
Explosion risk in case of improper replacement of the battery. Disposal of used batteries
according to local regulations. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. When
installing the battery, precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD) must be taken.
