6 Product description
The MST S4 module is an industrial PC based on an Intel® 64 architecture with integrated SERCOS III bus
master. Housed in a very compact plastic case, it has been designed to be installed on a standard DIN rail and
to be perfectly integrated in a FLXMOD automation system. It is an ideal complement to create an automation
system based on SERCOS III field-bus and on FLXMOD™ modules.
The MST S4 calculation capability relies on Quad Core Intel® Atom™ x5-E8000 (1.04GHz) processor with 2GB
1600MT/s DDR3L RAM memory.
In order to meet the more different needs of interfacing, the MST S4 offers the possibility to connect standard
input/output peripheral units, such as keyboard, mouse, track ball, monitor, etc.
The module MST S4 can communicate with the external world via one USB 3.0 port, two Ethernet 10/100/
1000Mb ports and one single channel DVI-D port. It also integrates one socket for connecting a micro SD mem-
ory and one socket for connecting a CFast memory, ideal for operating system, data and programs storage,
because it is a solid-state, high-speed flash memory, with exceptional resistance to accidental shocks and vi-
brations. Some models are supplied complete with CFast memory, operating system and programs.
The CFast memory position inside the MST S4 is designed to be removed without opening the module.

8.4 Sercos III connectors
The device features two connectors Sercos III, installed on the upper side of the device, used for the commu-
nication with other devices equipped with SIII field-bus interface. As specified in the standard protocol Sercos
III, there is no functional difference in using connector F1 or F2, therefore it is possible to connect the field-bus
cables in any order. The pin configuration of the connectors is standard for Ethernet wiring; therefore, it is pos-
sible to use common Ethernet cables (min. FTP Cat. 5E) to connect the MST S4 module to Sercos III bus.
Use an adequately sized wire, according to the current flowing. A lower cross-section might
cause fire, due to overheating caused by the wire.
In order to meet the requirements of the EMC 2014/30/UE, the cable must not be longer
than 30 meters.
The MST S4 module is a high-tech electronic device, sensitive to electrostatic discharges
(ESD). Take maximum care to prevent such discharges, by adhering to the prescriptions of
the law, in order to avoid damages to the device.
