BC50R - IP65 Box PC for In-Vehicle Applications (AMD)

BC50R - IP65 Box PC for In-Vehicle Applications (AMD)
The BC50R is a maintenance-free box computer that has been designed, e.g., for
data acquisition applications in rugged environments in vehicles, e.g. in trains,
commercial vehicles, mobile machines or ships.
All interfaces are implemented on rugged M12 connectors (USB, digital input and
output, Gigabit Ethernet, CAN and legacy serial I/O). The housing is compliant to
the IP65 protection class.
On the inside, the system offers two PCI Express® Mini card slots with two SIM
card slots for WLAN, GNSS or 3G/4G functionality. The necessary antenna
connectors can be made available at the front panel.
It is powered by an AMD Embedded G-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit),
the T48N, running at 1.4 GHz. The use of the Embedded G-Series makes for high
scalability in CPU (single/dual core) performance.
The BC50R is equipped with 2 GB of DDR3 SDRAM and offers SD card and
mSATA slots. The system is designed for fanless operation at temperatures from -40
to +70°C (+85°C for up to 10 minutes), its special aluminum housing with cooling
fins serves as a heat sink for the internal electronics and in this way provides
conduction cooling.
The BC50R supports a 24 VDC and 36 VDC nom. (10 to 50.4 V) class S2 power
supply in compliance with EN 50155 or power supplies which comply with ISO
7637-2 (E-mark for automotive) (nominal input voltage 24 V) or with EN 60945
(ship). The power can be switched on and off using an ignition signal on the power
connector, and a shutdown-delay time after switching off the power can be adjusted
by software.
The combination of the various CPU/GPU options with the available selection of
external interfaces (realized via separate graphics and I/O interface boards within
the system) makes for an extremely flexible system design that can quickly be
tailored to a vast number of applications.

Product Safety
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Computer boards and components contain electrostatic sensitive
devices. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. To
protect the board and other components against damage from static
electricity, you should follow some precautions whenever you work on
your computer.
• Power down and unplug your computer system when working on the
inside.
• Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips,
leads, or circuitry.
• Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.
• Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that
came with the component whenever the components are separated
from the system.
• Only store the board in its original ESD-protected packaging. Retain
the original packaging in case you need to return the board to MEN
for repair.

RoHS
Since July 1, 2006 all MEN standard products comply with RoHS legislation.
Since January 2005 the SMD and manual soldering processes at MEN have already been completely lead-free. Between June
2004 and June 30, 2006 MEN’s selected component suppliers have changed delivery to RoHS-compliant parts. During this
period any change and status was traceable through the MEN ERP system and the boards gradually became RoHS-compliant.
WEEE Application
The WEEE directive does not apply to fixed industrial plants and tools. The compliance is the responsibility of the company
which puts the product on the market, as defined in the directive; components and sub-assemblies are not subject to product
compliance.
In other words: Since MEN does not deliver ready-made products to end users, the WEEE directive is not applicable for MEN.
Users are nevertheless recommended to properly recycle all electronic boards which have passed their life cycle.
Nevertheless, MEN is registered as a manufacturer in Germany. The registration number can be provided on request.
