VULCAN ICE Introduction

Handling your board safely

Anti-static handling

The VULCAN fitted inside the VULCAN ICE contains CMOS devices. These could be damaged in the event of static electricity being discharged through them. At all times, please observe anti-static precautions when handling circuit boards. This includes storing boards in appropriate anti-static packaging and wearing a wrist strap when handling.

Packaging

Should a board need to be returned to Arcom, please ensure that it is adequately packed, preferably in the original packing material.

VULCAN ICE Overview of the VULCAN ICE ports

Overview of the VULCAN ICE ports

The VULCAN ICE has a number of ports. These are described below:

Power input jack The VULCAN enclosure requires a 5V supply. This is connected

via a 2.1mm jack. The typical current consumption is 700mA (VULCAN board only).

Ethernet Two RJ45 Ethernet ports (10/100Base-T):

‘LINK/ACT’ yellow LED flashes when there is Ethernet traffic. •

• ‘100’ green LED comes on when a 100Base-T connection is

made.

USB 2.0 2 A type USB2.0 ports. COM1 9-way D type break out for COM1 (RS232). COM2 9-way D type break out for COM2 (RS232). COM3 9-way D type break out for COM3 (RS232). COM4 9-way D type break out for COM4 (RS485/RS422). Digital I/O 25-way D type break out for TTL digital I/O. CF+ Break out for CF+ socket. Spare I/O It is possible to fit one PC/104 module in the VULCAN enclosure.

Two spare locations are included to allow the module to be broken out. These locations are fitted with blanking plates as standard.
