1. Introduction
This chapter gives a general overview of the V3200 computer’s hardware features and specifications.
Overview
The V3200 Series embedded computers are built around an Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 or Intel® Celeron® high-
performance processor and come with up to 64 GB RAM, one M.2 2280 M key slot, and two HDD/SSD for
storage expansion. The computers are compliant with EN 50155:2017 and EN 50121-4 standards covering
operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration, making them suitable for railway
onboard and wayside applications.
For connecting with onboard and wayside systems and devices, the V3200 computers are equipped with a
rich set of interfaces including 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports (default; can go up to 8 ports) with one-pair LAN
bypass function to ensure uninterrupted data transmission, 2 RS-232/422/485 serial ports, 2 DIs, 2 DOs,
and 2 USB 3.0 ports. The built-in TPM 2.0 module ensures platform integrity and provides hardware-based
security as well as protection from tampering.
Vehicular applications require reliable connectivity. They also require clear indicators on the device that
identify the status of the software. The V3200 computers come with two 5G/one LTE and 6 SIM-card slots to
help establish redundant LTE/Wi-Fi connections and three programmable LEDs that enable monitoring of the
runtime status of software.

2. Hardware Introduction
V3200 embedded computers are compact and rugged for use in industrial applications. LED indicators help
you monitor performance and identify trouble spots, multiple serial ports allow you to connect a variety of
devices for wireless operation, and the reliable and stable hardware platform lets you devote your attention
to developing your applications, rather than diddling with low-level APIs and device drivers.

Real-time Clock
The embedded computer’s real-time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly recommend that you
DO NOT replace the lithium battery on your own. If the battery needs to be changed, contact the Moxa
RMA service team.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the wrong type of battery is used. To avoid this potential danger, always be
sure to use the correct type of battery. Contact the Moxa RMA service team if you need to replace your
battery.
Caution
Dispose of used batteries in a suitable manner. Consult the battery manufacturer for details on disposing
batteries.

3. Hardware Connection Description
In this chapter, we show how to connect the embedded computers to the network and to a variety of
common devices.
Installing the V3200
Wall or Cabinet Mounting
The V3200 computer comes with 2 wall-mounting brackets. Attach the brackets to the computer using 4
screws on each side. Ensure that the mounting brackets are attached to the V3200 computer in the
direction shown in the following figure.
The 8 screws for the mounting brackets are included in the product package. They are standard IMS_M3x5L
screws and require a torque of 4.5 kgf-cm. Refer to the following illustration for details.

V3200 Series Hardware User Manual
14
Use 2 screws (M3*5L standard is recommended) on each side to attach the V3200 to a wall or cabinet.
These 4 screws are not included in the product package; they need to be purchased separately. Ensure that
the V3200 computer is installed in the direction shown in the following figure:
Wiring Requirements
This section describes how to connect peripheral devices to the embedded computer.
You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any
electronic device:
•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, ensure that the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
ATTENTION
Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
•Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate.
The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
•It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your V3200.
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to
your equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat,
and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.

Connecting the Power
The V3200 computers are provided with M12 power input connectors on the front panel. Connect the power
cord wires to the connectors and then tighten the connectors. Push the power button; the Power LED (on
the power button) will light up to indicate that power is being supplied to the computer. It should take about
30 to 60 seconds for the operating system to complete the boot-up process.

The power input specification is given below:
•DC mains with a power source rating of 24 V @ 2.74 A; 100 V @ 0.584 A, and a minimum of 18 AWG.
ATTENTION
For safety reasons, refer to the following instructions on power input installation.
1. The power switch or circuit breaker between Moxa’s products and the power supply should easily
disconnect if a power overcurrent occurs.
2. The maximum branch circuit over current protection rate should be 20 A.
3. The DC power source wire specifications should be a minimum 14 AWG and comply with VW-1 or FT-1
standards.

For surge protection, connect the grounding connector located below the power connector with the earth
(ground) or a metal surface.
Grounding the Unit
For surge protection, connect the
grounding connector located beside the
power connector with the earth (ground) or a metal surface.
Connecting Data Transmission Cables
This section describes how to connect V3200 embedded computers to a network and serial devices.
Connecting to the Network
There are one 1000/2500 Mbps and three 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports for V3200-TL-4L models, one
1000/2500 Mbps and seven 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports for V3200-TL-8L models. Both use M12 X-coded
connectors and are located on the front panel of the computer.
ATTENTION
There is risk of damage to the M12 X-coded cable due to improper installation or removal.
Before you attach an M12 X-coded cable to an Ethernet port on the V3200, read the instructions carefully.
The M12 X-coded cable is designed with locking mechanisms to prevent pin misalignment. Ensure that you
properly align the indicator and notches when connecting the cable.
Do NOT insert the cable into a port with excessive force.
Refer to the following figure for the specific location of the Ethernet ports.
