Industrial Box Thin Client
Product Description
2 Product Description
2.1 Application
BTC01 is a rugged, industrial-grade box thin client. With a fanless design, this box thin client is
specially designed to withstand extended temperatures, as well as shock and vibration
resistant per IEC 60068.
It is a small-footprint, stand-alone computer with an Intel Bay Trail series quad-core Celeron
processor and optional PCI-E graphics card, to allow connection of up to four desktop
monitors. The housing consists of an aluminum extruded body for the top and sides, and a
powder-coated aluminum base.
Overall, the BTC01 is ideal for monitoring and control applications in factory and process
automation. Its high quality workmanship ensures reliable operation under harsh environmental
conditions.
2.2 RM Shell
RM Shell 4.x or 5.x is the operating system software that runs on the BTC01 industrial box thin
client.
VisuNet RM Shell (RM Shell) embedded operating system enables users to easily access
applications that run on a host system (e.g., workstation PC or server) via Ethernet.
RM Shell 4.0 supports common remote protocol, such as RDP 8.0 or VNC.
RM Shell 5 is based on Windows®10 IoT Enterprise LTSB—an embedded version of
Windows®with long-term support that is compatible with the latest versions of common remote
protocols such as RDP 10, Citrix Receiver, and VNC.
With these protocols, the BTC01 and other VisuNet Remote Monitors can be easily integrated
into all major process control systems, whether they are virtualized or conventional,
workstation-based setups.
Also installed is a hardware driver for ELO touch screen controller. When connecting a third
party ELO touch screen, connection must be done via USB. The ELO touch driver supports
most ELO touch devices. Please contact Pepperl+Fuchs to ensure compatibility.
For more information on using RM Shell 4.x or 5.x, refer to the VisuNet RM Shell manual.
Warning!
The Industrial Box Thin Client BTC01 is a self contained unit with no customer accessible
parts.
Warning!
Warranty
The BIOS may not be accessed. Any tampering with BIOS is at your own liability, and is not
covered under warranty for repairs.
Warning!
Radio Interference
This device is compliant to class A industrial limits and is intended for use in idustrial settings.
In a domestic environment this product may casue radio interference in which the user may be
required to take adequate additional measures.
Note!
Visit www.pepperl-fuchs.com regularly to check on the latest version of RM Shell.

2.3 ACP ThinManager Ready
As an alternative to the VisuNet RM Shell 4.x or 5.x, the BTC01 can also be order as
ThinManager "Ready", by having a customized PCI expansion ROM installed in the BIOS.
When this feature is ordered, the ThinManager server installs the running OS onto the BTC01
over the LAN connection.
ThinManager is a software created by ACP. The software allows centralized management of
thin client architecture, allowing ThinManager Ready thin clients to be configured in a central
location instead of individually at each client.
The ThinManager shows the following information:
■thin clients are operating
■terminal servers the clients are assigned to
■thin clients log-in information
■applications run by the thin clients
ThinManager partners with certain thin client manufacturers like Pepperl+Fuchs to flash the
BIOS of their hardware to ensure it automatically boots into the ThinManager environment.
These are referred to as ThinManager-Ready devices. In this configuration, you can
seamlessly connect to the ThinManager infrastructure without any IT set-up.
The BTC01 can only support dual video out when used as a ThinManager Ready device. Quad
video is not supported.
ACP ThinManager supports a variety of third party touch screens. Please contact ACP to verify
compatibility.

DC 12 V
For 12 VDC power, you insert a power jack into the back of the unit. The connector on the back
of the unit is a 5.5 mm barrel jack. The polarity of the plug is center positive. For this option, an
AC power adapter with 5.5 mm barrel jack is supplied.

Warning!
The connector on the back of the unit is an IEC320-C14 receptacle and requires a mating of an
IEC320-C13.
The intended installation location is an overvoltage category II. The Industrial Box Thin Client
BTC01 comes with an AC power cable that is intended for US type outlet. Other power cables
for other global regions are available as accessories. See chapter 2.5.
