1. Introduction
1. Introduction
The IPC-BX/M360(PCI)C is an IBM PC/AT compatible, box computer designed for industrial use based
on the Ultra Low Voltage Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor 400MHz, to operate as a completely naturecooled (fanless) system.
The IPC-BX/M360(PCI)C is smaller in size than the IPC-BX/M400(PC)H while providing assorted
interfaces such as USB 2.0, 100BASE-TX, and RS-232C. It can be a compact platform based on an OS
for general-purpose PCs. As this series incorporates handpicked components such as the embedded types
of CPU and chipset, it excels in environmental resistance and remains in stable supply for an extended
period of time. You can therefore use the box computer under severe operating conditions such as FA with
ease.
For the components of this package, refer to the bundled product guide. If you discover damaged or
missing items, contact your retailer.

Serial Port Interface
Serial port 1, 2(RS-232C port)
The BOX-PC is equipped with two RS-232C-compliant serial port connectors (SERIAL1: Serial port 1
and SERIAL2: Serial port 2). You can use BIOS Setup (described in Chapter 4) to configure an I/O
address, interrupt and unused state for each of the ports independent ly. (The same I/O address and IRQ
cannot be shared with any other device.)
Note that Serial Ports 1 and 2 are shared ports also available as the RS-422/485 and touch panel
interfaces, respectively. The interfaces sharing each serial port are mutually exclusive. *1
To use the serial port for the interface other than RS-232C, see the relevant page.
*1 The serial ports are set as follows by default: SERIAL1: RS232C / SERIAL2: TouchPanel. To use Serial Port 2, run
BIOS Setup to set "Serial2 Select" in the "Advanced Chipset Features" menu to "RS232C". (See P33)

Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer is started by output of A5 to I/O port address 4002h. A second output of A5 to the
same port within the specified expiration time once again triggers the watchdog timer. If a time-out
occurs, a reset or an interrupt is generated according to the 4004h port setting or an alarm is output
according to the 4004h port setting.
The time-out period can be set between 1 and 255 seconds depending on the timer value setting for the
WDT counter port (4003h).
The watchdog timer stops by reading port 4002h. The alarm-out output is cancelled at the same ti me.
The alarm out is output from the RAS connector's PO2/WDT (12-pin) and cancelled when reset.
The alarm-out output can be s et t o BI OS st art up by BIOS setup (see Chapter 4), watc h dog t i m er startu p,
or watchdog timer time-up.
Specifications
-Time to be set: 1sec to 255sec
-Interrupt or reset: Resets or generates an interrupt at time-up (Port setting).
-External alarm output: Opto-coupler isolated open-collector output (the output status is
set by software). For more information, see the general-purpose
I/O specifications.
-I/O addresses: 4001h to 4005h (RAS port)
