Panel Mounting

The MPC-2070 Series comes with 6 clamp mounts that allow for installation onto a wall (where space has been

cut out to accommodate the rest of the hardware) or into computing stations where a flush mount is desired.

The maximum thickness of the surface to which the computer will be clamped is 4.6 mm. For a secure mounting,

all 6 clamps must be used. The clamp arms are fastened into slots on all four sides of the MPC-2070. Use the

short M4 SUS (stainless) screws to fasten the clamp arms to the MPC-2070 mounting slots, as shown in the

diagram below. Next, use the clamps to fasten the computer to its mounting point. Note the torque value that

is shown in the figure below as guidance when fastening the screws on the clamps.

MPC-2070 Hardware Hardware Connection Description

3-3

VESA Mounting

The MPC-2070 is provided with VESA mounting holes on the back panel, which you can use directly without the

need for an adapter. The dimension of the VESA mounting area is 50 x 75 mm. You will require four M4 x 6mm

screws to mount the MPC-2070.

Wiring Requirements

This section describes how to connect peripheral devices to the panel 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.

NOTE

Do not run signal or communication wiring together with power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid

interferen

ce, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

• 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.

ATTENTION

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before ins

talling and/or wiring your MPC-2070 Series.

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 ma

ximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your

equipment.

MPC-2070 Hardware Hardware Connection Description

3-4

Temperature Requirements

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.

We recommend taking the following precautions to minimize heat build-up within the display:

• Position the display within ±40° of the vertical.

• Install an external fan to increase airflow upwards through the display if (a) the display is not positioned

within ±40° of the vertical, (b) the ambient temperature exceeds 25°C, or (c) the display is used in a

location with minimal ventilation.

Grounding the MPC-2070 Series

Before you power on the MPC-2070 Series, please ground the MPC-2070 as grounding and wire routing help

limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground

screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.

ATTENTION

This

product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Grounding: See the figure shown below for the location of the grounding connector. Connect the grounding

wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface.

Powering On/Off the MPC-2070 Series

Connect a

Terminal Block to Power Jack Converter to the MPC-2070

terminal block and connect a

t least a 30 W power adapter to the converter.

Supply power through the power adapter. After you have connected a power

source, press the

Power

button to turn the computer on. It takes about 10 to 30

seconds for the system to boot up.

To power off the MPC-2070, we recommend using the "shut down" function provided by the OS installed on the

MPC. If you use the Power button, you may enter one of the following states depending on the power

management settings in the OS: standby, hibernation, or system shutdown mode. If you encounter problems,

you can press and hold the Power button for 4 seconds to force a hard shutdown of the system.

MPC-2070 Hardware Hardware Connection Description

Display-Control Buttons

The MPC-2070 is provided with two display-control buttons on the right panel.

The usage of the display-control buttons is described in the following table:

Symbol and Name Usage Function

Power Press -Power on from S4/S5

-S0 to S3/S4/S5

-Wake up on S3

Press and hold for 4 seconds

Power off

Brightness + Press Manually increase the brightness of the panel

Brightness - Press Manually decrease the brightness of the panel

ATTENTION

The

MPC-2070 Series comes with a 1000-

nit display, the brightness level of which is adjustable up to level 10.

The display is optimized for use in the

-40 to 70°C temperature range. However, if you are operating the

MPC

-2070 at an ambient temperature of 60°C or higher, we recommend setting the brightness level of the

display to 8 or less to

extend the lifetime of the display.

MPC-2070 Hardware Hardware Connection Description

Connector Description

DC Power Input

The MPC-

2070 uses a DC power input. To connect the

power source to the 2-pin terminal block, use a 60

W

power adapter. The terminal block is available in the

accessories package. The DC pin assignments are

show in the figure.

Serial Ports

The MPC-2070 offers two software-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial ports over a DB9 connector. The pin

assignments for the ports are shown in the table below:

Ethernet Ports

The pin assignments for the two Fast Ethernet 100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports are shown in the following table:

The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN port uses 8-pin RJ45 connectors. The following diagram shows the

pinouts and the descriptions for these ports.
