2. Hardware Introduction
V2406C embedded computers are compact and rugged for use in industrial applications. LED indicators help
you monitor performance and identify trouble spots, multiple serial ports allow you to connect a variety of
devices for wireless operation, and the reliable and stable hardware platform lets you devote your attention to
developing your applications, rather than diddling with low-level APIs and device drivers.

ATTENTION
Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid
interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
ATTENTION
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your
Wiring Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes
dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size.
If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your
equipment.
Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and
consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch.
Wiring Requirements
This section describes how to connect peripheral devices to the embedded computer.
You should read and follow these common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any
electronic device:
• Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must
cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point.
• Use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The
rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together.
• Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.
• It is advisable to label the wiring to all devices in the system.
Connecting the Power
Connect the 24 to 110 VDC power line with M12 connector to the V2406C computer. If the power is supplied
properly, the Ready LED will glow a solid green after a 25 to 30 second delay.

1. The power switch or circuit breaker between Moxa’s products and the power supply should easily
disconnect if a power overcurrent occurs.
2. The maximum branch circuit over current protection rate should be 20 A.
3. The DC power source wire specifications should include minimum 14 AWG and compliance with VW-

Connecting to a Serial Device
The V2406C comes with four serial ports, which can be configure for RS-232/422/485 interfaces. These ports
are located on the front panel. Port 1 and Port 2 are isolated UART ports.
Use a serial cable to connect your serial device to the embedded computer’s serial port. These ports have male
DB9 connectors and can be configured for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 using the software. The pin assignments
of the ports are shown in the table below:
This is the pin assignment for the computer-side connectors on the V2406C. If you are wiring peripheral-
