Product Related Information

LOSS OF CONTROL

 The designer of any control scheme must consider the potential failure modes of control paths

and, for certain critical control functions, provide a means to achieve a safe state during and
after a path failure. Examples of critical control functions are emergency stop and overtravel
stop.

 Separate or redundant control paths must be provided for critical control functions.
 System control paths may include communication links. Consideration must be given to the

implications of unanticipated transmission delays or failures of the link.

 Each implementation of a Harmony Industrial PC must be individually and thoroughly tested

for proper operation before being placed into service.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement for USA.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Interference Information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the federal communications commission
(FCC) limits for a Class A digital device, according to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a commercial, industrial,
or business environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause or be subject to
interference with radio communications. To minimize the possibility of electromagnetic interference
in your application, observe the following two rules:

 Install and operate the Harmony Industrial PC in such a manner that it does not radiate sufficient

electromagnetic energy to cause interference in nearby devices.

 Install and test the Harmony Industrial PC to ensure that the electromagnetic energy generated

by nearby devices does not interfere with the Harmony Industrial PC's operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate this product.

FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement

 This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or

transmitter.

 This equipment complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment.

 This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between

the radiator and your body.

WARNING

ELECTROMAGNETIC / INTERFERENCE

Electromagnetic radiation may disrupt the Harmony Industrial PC's operations, leading to
unintended equipment operation. If electromagnetic interference is detected:

 Increase the distance between the Harmony Industrial PC and the interfering equipment.
 Reorient the Harmony Industrial PC and the interfering equipment.
 Reroute power and communication lines to the Harmony Industrial PC and the interfering

equipment.

 Connect the Harmony Industrial PC and the interfering equipment to different power supplies.
 Always use shielded cables when connecting the Harmony Industrial P C to a perip heral devic e

or another computer.

UPS Module - Description and Installation

Overview

EXPLOSION, FIRE, OR CHEMICAL HAZARD

Handling and storage:

 Store in cool, dry and ventilated rooms with impermeable surfaces and appropriate

containment in case of leakage.

 Protect from adverse weather conditions and keep separate from incompatible materials

during storage and transport.

 A sufficient supply of water must be located nearby.
 Damage to containers where batteries are stored and transported must be prevented.
 Keep away from fire, sparks, and excessive heat.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The uninterrupted power supply (UPS) option (HMIYMUPSKT1) includes a battery cell, a charger
circuit, and a power path switch circuit. When battery capacity is not f ull, the char ger c ircu it ch arg es

 Communication via integrated interfaces

UPS Principle

With the optional UPS module, the Box PC IIoT completes write operations even when it is turned
off while write operations are being executed. When the UPS module detects a power off, it
switches to battery operation immediately without interruption.

NOTE:

 The connected monitor is not handled by the UPS and shut-off when the power is exhausted.

There are two configurations for UPS module:

 UPS module: The power source of the UPS module is from DC input power.
 UPS and AC power supply modules: The power source of the module is from AC input power.

Serial Interface Connections

This interface is used to connect the Box PC IIoT to remote equipment, via a serial interface cable.
The connector is a D-Sub 9-pin plug connector.

By using a long PLC cable to connect to the Box PC IIoT, it is possible that the cable can be at a
different electrical potential than the panel, even if both are connected to ground.

NOTE: The Box PC IIoT can get UPS information from COM port.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

 Make a direct connection between the ground connection screw and ground.
 Do not connect other devices to ground through the ground connection screw of this device.
 Install all cables according to local codes and requirements. If local codes do not require

grounding, follow a reliable guide such as the US National Electrical Code, Article 800.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

SD Card Installation

Introduction

The Box PC IIoT operating system views the SD card as a hard disk. Proper handling and care of
the SD card helps extend the life of the card. Familiarize yourself with the card before attempting
to insert or remove the card.

Before installing or removing an SD card, shut down the operating system in an orderly fashion and
remove the power from the device.

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION OR ARC FLASH

 Re move al l power f r om the d e vice before removing any covers or elements of the system, and

prior to installing or removing any accessories, hardware, or cables.

 Unplug the power cable from both the Harmony Industrial PC and the power supply.
 Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that power is off.
 Replace and secure all covers or elements of the system before applying power to the unit.
 Use only the specified voltage when operating the Harmony Industrial PC. The AC unit is

designed to use 100...240 Vac input. The DC unit is designed to use 24 Vdc input. Always
check whether your device is AC or DC powered before applying power.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Cyber Security TPM Module Description

Introduction

The HMIYBINLTPM201 is categorized as industrial module. It is compatible with the low pin count
module. The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is an international standard for a secure cryptopro­cessor, which is a dedicated microcontroller designed to secure hardware by integrating
cryptographic keys into devices.

The mother board and the OS of Box PC IIoT allows you to install the TPM module and activate
encryption. Then, storage drives and operating system are encrypted according to password and
keys managed within the hardware module.

According to part number, the HMIYBINLTPM201 TPM module can default mounted following the
CTO (configured to order) or can be user mounted afterward as an optional accessory module. The
encryption can be activated.

Plug the module onto the Box PC IIoT pin header.

Overview

The Box PC IIoT (HMIBSC) has a default software package architecture based on Linux Yocto
project (open source embedded Linux Build).

The software stack is built from different layers, they are described in the diagram:

A software development kit (SDK) is typically a set of software development tools that allows the
creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform.

In embedded systems, a board support package (BSP) is the layer of software containing
hardware-specific drivers and other routines that allow a particular operating system to function in
a particular hardware environment

NOTE: C/C++ compiler for customization by skilled developers only. Documentation on request to
Customer care center, with limited support.

General Information

The Linux Yocto BSP provide software and recipes necessary to support individual boards. The
BSP is a collection of information that defines how to support a particular hardware device, set of
devices, or hardware platform.

This manual does not show how to solve every possible programming issue. The Linux Yocto
Project has the aim and objective of attempting to improve the user experience of developers of
customized Linux systems supporting the ARM CPU architecture. To use this manual, you should
be familiar with Linux command and Linux Yocto project.
