EBOX-333x Series is a revolutionary device which is especially designed for limited physical space and
temperature concerns. No matter you are in a jammed office, a crowded place, or public transportation,
EBOX-333x can be easily integrated with a VESA LCD to bring it to access at any time.
It can be attached to any VESA mounting fixture; allowing it to be securely mounted onto desks,
walls, or buildings, and thereby optimizes your work area. It can also be attached directly to any size
LCD for a mobile system for the use at trade shows, presentations, promotions, etc. Unlike traditional
portable laptop design, the EBOX-333x Series can be used with a large size LCD. Furthermore, with
FANLESS design, the EBOX-333x Series is ideal to be used in the environment where temperature
demand is critical.
So, if you are looking for a device that is able to provide you with more mobility, space, less power
consumption, then the EBOX-333x Series will be surely meet your need.
The VESA® FDMI™ Standard defines mounting interfaces, hole patterns and associated

In EBOX-333x CANbus Series, the serial port (COM4) has been adapted for CANbus use.
And the CANbus is onboard, it doesn't need extra external power.
PIN assignmnet:
J14: COM - 9-pin D-Sub connector (CANbus)
EBOX-333x CANbus Series provide a UART (serial) interface with HOST to communicate, support
CANbus 2.0A and CANbus 2.0B, to work as a UART to CANbus bridge.
The CANbus only requires a minimum of three pins, those three pins are assigned to Ground,
CANH: CAN High is an input of a "high" voltage.
CANL: CAN Low is an input of a "low" voltage.
In computing terms, the communication architecture is subdivided into 7 layers. Each layer follows a
different protocol that is standard. Two standards commonly listed are:
Data frame
CAN network can be configured to work with two different frame formats:
a. Base frame format CAN 2.0A with 11 bits identifier.
b. Extended frame format CAN 2.0B with 11-29 bits identifier.
Standards
ISO 11898 specifies physical and datalink layer. Following are two commonly listed CAN physical layer and
standards:
a. ISO 11898-2:
This protocol specifies the high-speed at transmission rates of up to 1 Mbit/s.
Supports a cable length of up to 40 meters
b. ISO 11898-3:
This protocol specifies low-speed at transmission rates above 40 kBit/s up to 125 kBit/s.
Support a much longer cable length, 500 to 1000 meters.

Taking Care of your EBOX
This section gives you some guidelines on using EBOX-333x Series – Safe using, Storing and Handling.
Storing
Do not place EBOX-333x Series in a location that is subject to:
Heating sources, such as stove, oven, heater, radiator or air duct
Direct contact from sunlight
Rain or moisture area
Excessive dust accumulation area
High humidity place
Constant or occasional mechanical movement, vibration or shock
Strong magnets or magnetic fields or magnetically unshielded speakers
Out of the operating temperature range from 5oC to 50oC
Do not place other electronic device or electrical equipment near EBOX-333x Series. The
electromagnetic field of the EBOX-333x Series may cause interference subjecting to malfunction.
Provide adequate air ventilation (circulation) to prevent internal buildup of heat. Do not place EBOX-
333x Series near the wall, behind the curtains or draperies, in between two books that block its
ventilation slots. Leave a space of at least 8 inches (20cm) behind the sides and back panel of the
EBOX-333x Series.
Change of environmental temperature: Problems may occur when there is a sudden change of
environmental temperature, or if the EBOX-333x Series is brought directly from a cold location to a
warm one, moisture may condense inside EBOX-333x Series. Turn off the device, and contact your
nearest dealer.
Check the surrounding appliance(s) before using EBOX-333x Series. Since the EBOX-333x Series
uses high-frequency radio signal and may interface with radio or TV reception causing interference
or poor signal display. When this happens, relocate the EBOX-333x Series by a suitable distance
away from the set.
Do not drop the EBOX-333x Series from the working table nor place heavy objects on top of it.
