CHAPTER

The Engine of the SPC-57

This chapter details hardware’s setting and functionality in the SPC-57 Sections include:

• PCM-7230 SBC for SPC-57

• I/O Board

• LCD and touch-screen

• Power system

This chapter will detail hardware setting and functionality in the SPC-57. Following will introduce (1) PCM-7230 SBC for SPC-57; (2) The I/O Board (there is no I/O board of SPC-57E) (3) LCD and touch-screen; (4) Power system.

3.1 PCM-7230 Mainboard for SPC-57

The Engine of SPC-57 is constructed by the combination of 2 PCBA – one mainboard and one I/O board. The mainboard is slightly modified based on Advnatech standard product PCM-7230 to fulfill SPC-57 specification. In this manual, we will still use PCM-7230 to mean the mainboard although it is slightly different from our standard product. The PCM-7230 SBC for SPC-57 is a 3.5” (145mm x 102

mm x 21.1mm) single board computer with the Intel

PXA255 processor running at 200 MHz. The milli-watt power consumption by its kernel makes the PCM-7230 suitable for power conscious applications.
