About the Product

This pr o du ct is a small, fa nless PC for e m beddin g wit h a palm-siz e body tha t can be mou nt e d on a 35mm
DIN rail.

This product is the successor to the previous BX-300 microcontr oller prod ucts and it meets the needs of
replacing the B X-300 in systems. The exterior of this product has the same dimensions. The functionality
of this product can also be expanded in ways such as adding digital I/O by connecting F&eIT Series
devic e m o du l e s . * This product utilizes the Intel
equipped with an external expansion connector that can be connected by cable to an expansion chassis for
PCI/PCI Express expansion boards.

* Windows Embedded Stand a rd 7 32bit only

This product is available in the following 3 models:

- Base m odel with Intel Atom Processor E3845 1.91GHz
BX-320-DC700000 (Memory 4GB, ECC, without O S, with out C Fast)

- OS-installed model with Intel Atom Processor E3845 1.91GHz
BX-320-DC731314 (Memory 4GB, ECC, Windows Embedded Standard 7 32bit (Japanese, English,

Chinese, Korean), CFa st Card (S LC) 16 GB)

BX-320-DC781724 (Memory 4GB, ECC, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 64bit (Japanese,

1. Introduction

Features

- Contributes to reducing running costs and energy efficiency
While inh eriting the basic fu n ctionality of the pr e vi ous BX-300 Series, this product achieves further
decreases in power usage and increases in speed while maintaining sufficient performance by employing
a low power platform featuring the Intel® Atom™ Processor E3845 for the CPU

- Contribute s to e qu i p m e nt mi niaturi za tion. PC functionality and expandability c oncentrate d into a
small form (94.0 (W) x 120.0 (D) x 74.7 (H ))
The small chassis (94.0 (W) x 120.0 (D) x 74.7 (H)) is equipped with a variety of interfaces including
VGA, USB3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x 3, RS-232C x 2, LAN x 2 (1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX), Audio, and the
F&eIT I /F (for F&eIT Ser ies device mod ules). This pr oduct is also equipped with a PC Ie connector that
can be connected to an external expansion chassis. This product has the same dimensions as the previous
BX-300 Series products, so it ca n b e s wapped into existi ng syste m s.

- Fanless design reduces maintenance and inspection work
This product features a completely spindle-free design that eliminates the CPU fan and uses a CFast card
for storage. Th e u s e o f com ponent s tha t deteriorate with age has been held down as much as possible,
which greatly reduc es the burden of m aintenance and inspection work.

- Remote power management functions that save operational labor
This product supports Wake On LAN to externally start the PC via the network and Power On by Ring to
start the PC by the modem receiving a call. This makes it capable of providing large operational labor
savings.

- Freely expandable peripherals. Twin CFast card slots and other abundant interfaces
This product is equipped with expandable interfaces including 1000BASE-T x 2, USB 3.0 x 1, USB 2.0 x
3, and serial in terfaces (RS-232C) x 2. It is also equipped with two CFast card slots (one slot is internal)
so the dat a an d o pe r a t i ng s ystem ca n be s epa rated. This is ver y co n venient f or f orms of operation such as
using one slot to run the s ystem and one slot for maintenance, or us ing one slot to take home system logs
and sam pled data .

- Usable as a controller for F&eIT Series measurement, control, and communication devices *1
This product can be used as a controller for F&eIT Series measurement, control, and communication
devices. Device modules includin g di gital I/O, analog I/ O, and serial communic ation can be used as
meas urement, control, and comm unication dev ices.

- Up to eight F&eIT Ser ies device mo dules ca n b e c o n nected t o t he F&eIT I/F *1
The F &eI T I/F ca n accom m od a te up to eight F & eI T Series devic e modul e s ( ma ximum t o t a l current of
each module is 3A or less).

*1 Windows Embedded Standard 7 32bit only

- Expan da b l e with PCI boa rds and/or PC I Ex press boards
With a si n gle separately sol d cable, thi s pr o du c t ca n co nnect to a PCI Expres s Ca ble expan sion chas si s

which enables expansion by PCI/PC I E xpress boa r d s .

- Possibly installed in 35mmDIN rail
A detachable metal insta lla ti o n part for attaching the main unit to a 35mm DIN rail is bundled by default,

which can be used according to the installation conditions. The system features a unique configuration for
its con ne ction to a mo du le on the si de i n a stacking ma n ner, whic h allows you to configure the system
simply and elegantly without using backplanes and other connecting devices.

UTION

- Safety design required for embedded applications
For Window s Embedded Standard installed model or Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 64bit

installed m o de l, it is poss ible to use the WF *2 function of OS. It is designed for safety required for
embedding purpose, for example, prohibiting unwanted writing to the CFast card with EWF function will
relieve the concern about the writing limits to the CFast ca rd an d prevent an unintentiona l system
alteration.

*2 EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a func tion of Window s Embedded Standard.

UWF(Unified Write Filter) is a function of Window s 10 IoT Enter prise LTSB 2016.
They protect the disk from being actually writ ten by redirecting the writing to RAM.

- A wide range of power supplies (10.8 - 31.2VDC) supported
As the product supports a wide range of power (10.8 - 31.2VDC), it can be used in a variety of power

environments.

Supported OS

- Windows Embedded Standard 7 32bit (Japanes e, E ng l i s h, C hinese, K orean)
