Hardware features
The integrated display computers combine a TFT flat-panel display with industrial computing power for performing visual interface, maintenance, and basic information applications. These panel mount devices offer 12-inch displays with a resistive touch-screen and a CompactFlash solid-state drive.
By combining industrially hardened monitors and computers in a single machine, these panel mounted computers provide an entire solution in one chassis and catalog number. Because there are no external monitor cables or separate component mounting requirements, system integration is simplified.
The computers are shipped with the Windows XP Professional SP3 operating system for Embedded Systems installed and configured.
No operating system updates have been applied to the factory image beyond the service packs.
You can use the supplied Industrial Computer System Cloning CD to create and restore from a recovery image. Refer to the Cloning Utility Technical Data, publication 6000-TD002
These computers contain solid state drives and have been customized to accommodate the unique properties of the solid state drive, namely:
No paging file
System restore is disabled by default
MUI languages are not pre-installed
These computers with solid state drives do not contain a recovery partition. If additional drive space is required, copy the I386 directory to external media; then delete the I386 directory from C:\I386, which is approximately 400 MB.

Installation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to make sure your product provides safe and reliable service:
The installation site must have sufficient power.
The enclosure must allow sufficient space around air inlets and outlets to
provide the circulation necessary for cooling. Never allow air passages to become obstructed.
The ambient air temperature must not exceed the maximum operating temperature. Consider heat produced by other devices in the enclosure. You may need a user-supplied fan, heat exchanger, or air conditioner to meet this condition.
Hot air rises. The temperature at the top of the enclosure is often higher than the temperature in other parts of the enclosure, especially if air is not circulating.
The product can operate at a range of extremes. However, the life span of any electronic device is shortened if you continuously operate the product at its highest rated temperature.
The humidity of the ambient air must not exceed specified limits. In very dry environments, static charges build up readily. Proper grounding of the equipment helps to reduce static discharges, which may cause shocks and damage electronic components.
The enclosure or cover must remain in place at all times during operation. The cover provides protection against high voltages inside the product and inhibits radio-frequency emissions that might interfere with other equipment.
The product cannot be tilted from vertical. Mount as shown below.

Solid-state Drive

Appendix
D

Overview

A reliable means of data storage is a concern in industrial applications with harsh requirements. Standard rotating media with its spinning platters and head arms (with temperature limitations) present obstacles to the reliable storage of data.
This line of computers contains solid-state drives (SSD) in the form of a CompactFlash drive, which are a direct replacement for rotating hard disk drives on the IDE bus. They are drop-in replacements for their hard disk drive counterparts.
Solid-state drives offer these improvements over the standard hard disk drive:
Improved thermal performance
Higher levels of shock and vibration
Less power required
Longer data retention
No moving parts
The rotating hard disk drive is susceptible to shock and vibration. This weakness becomes more apparent as the temperature increases. Although the solid-state drive offers improvements in these areas, you must consider limitations of other key components within your systems before choosing to replace hard disk drives.
The decrease in the cost per megabyte of memory in flash drives is making the solid-state drive a viable alternative, especially in harsh industrial environments.
Rockwell Automation Publication 6181X-UM001B-EN-P - May 2011 59
Appendix D Solid-state Drive
IMPORTANT

Installation

Operation

Use caution when installing or handling a solid-state drive. You must handle the drive with care to prevent possible electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Follow these guidelines when installing or handling a solid-state drive:
Ground yourself whenever possible before handling the solid-state drive.
Handle the drive by its case.
Leave the product in a protective ESD bag until the time of installation.
Align the CompactFlash card properly during installation to make sure the
pins do not bend.
Install the screw to hold the CompactFlash card in the slot.
The solid-state drive appears to the system host as a standard rotating hard disk drive when powered up. The system host identifies the solid-state drive during bootup and sets the IDE bus speed to reflect the capability of the drive.
Do not remove power abruptly. Always use the proper power down procedure as required by your operating system, such as the Shut Down function in the Start menu. Whenever possible, use an uninterruptible power source (UPS) or other power conditioning device to perform a proper shutdown during unexpected power interruptions.
Always protect your system against unexpected power interruptions.
The controller on the solid-state drive uses an error correcting code (ECC) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to check for data errors.
Data correction algorithms can prevent data corruption on the drive. However, they cannot prevent operating system (OS) file type errors when the OS breaks large files into smaller (multiple) file transfers. This results in the host receiving only part of the transfer.
60 Rockwell Automation Publication 6181X-UM001B-EN-P - May 2011
Solid-state Drive Appendix D

Life Expectancy

The limitation of the solid-state drive is the finite amount of writes to a specific memory location. The life expectancy of a solid-state drive varies depending on the following:
How often an application writes data to the drive
The size of the file written to the drive
The amount of available space on the drive that can be used by the drive’s
controller to write data
The write/erase cycle limitation the manufacturer specifies
On the flash drive, the smallest space that can be written to is a sector, which is 512 B. However, the smallest space that can be erased is a block of memory. Unlike magnetic media, an erase cycle is required for flash memory before a write can be made. The actual block size varies depending on the overall capacity of the flash drive, for example, 63 sectors, or 32 KB on a 4 GB drive.
Wear leveling algorithms in flash memory drives offer an advantage to the overall throughput of the memory and the life expectancy of the drive. Wear leveling evenly distributes data that is written to memory across all free space on the drive. As one block of memory is written and filled, another is made available for the next data transfer. This block mapping occurs across all the free space and then starts again at the initial block. At the same time, the drive’s controller erases blocks previously used allowing memory to be available for updates without delaying the write requests from the host CPU.
When a memory cell fails within a specific sector, the entire block where the sector resides is marked as bad and removed from use. A new block from the pool of spares replaces the bad block. The amount of spare blocks within the pool is determined by the size of the drive memory. The size of the pool typically falls in the range of 1…1.5% of the total drive memory space and is set when initially formatted.

Rockwell Automation Publication 6181X-UM001B-EN-P - May 2011 61
Appendix D Solid-state Drive
Application Example One
An application updates a 100 KB data file every second on the 4 GB drive that is approximately half full with the OS image and application software.
Use this formula to calculate the drive’s expected life span:
(Flash blocks x Write cycle limit x Drive free space) / [(1 block/sec) x (31,536,000sec/yr)]
(32,768 x 2,000,000 x .5) / [ (1 block/sec) x (31,536,000 sec/yr)] = 1039 years
Application Example Two
The OS is updating its FAT table and root directory twice a second. This update requires one block of memory (128 KB). Every write regardless of location writes to a single block. In this case, wear leveling is limited to 1 zone (512 blocks).
Use this formula to calculate the drive’s expected life span:

Maintenance

(Flash blocks x Write cycle limit) / [(2 block/sec) x 31,536,000/yr)]
(512 x 2,000,000) / [(2block/sec) x 31,536,000 sec/yr)] = 16.2 years
Normally in a Windows operating environment virtual memory is used, also known as a swap file or page file. The OS may read from and write to this file often in a short period of time. Although the space used could be small, an entire block of memory is required. On systems using solid state memory, we recommend that this feature be turned off.
Under normal operating conditions, scheduled maintenance is not required. The integrity of data stored on a solid-state drive is good for a minimum of 10 years.
